If you can't beat 'em, join 'em...

So where do you folks get your news from? Given the diversity here I'm sure we'll have some fun selections. For me, ever since I saw this video, I've been a Hardball man...



You mean someone actually says "hey, thats BS? win..."

Newspapers, Kindle, and i surf Bloomberg religiously for finance info. I still get the newspaper on Sundays not just the electronic form. I indulge in Newsweek, Time, and the New York Times also.

Newspapers. I read The Guardian or The Herald most of the time.

Generally online from CNN, BBC, and MSNBC, and occasionally from local papers. Rarely from TV though, I think I prefer to be able to skip around and choose the stories I'm interested in.

Primarily online with the BBC website, though a lot of my friends tend to post interesting stories when they come across them on facebook. For news of home, I browse the irish times website.

The BBC website's a pretty good cover-all for pretty much everything in the world I've found. It's very quickly updated, it's about as unbiased as any media centre in the world, it covers international issues rather than just focusing on the UK.

I read newspapers when I see them - when I was commuting a lot I'd always read the free newspapers on the trains and buses, but I have found recently that I'm not so regularly around newspapers and I don't really have the spare money to be spending buying them when I can get it all online :P

I know right? The news is so boring, why would we even care about the world we live in? May as well get drunk, have sex and watch Jerry Springer.
