im interested to see where everyone gets their info from and how they make their decisions on the info they get
I was totally gonna post that question this morning!!! I read the local newspaper every day. I watch the news too, usually the 11:00 am local news cause the weatherman is a hottie!! lol
5 letters: MSNBC
nothing else... Fox is completely biased, CNN is antisemitic, and local news is aimed solely to scare you into submission...
Plus I've got a prospective job there out of college :thumbsup:
I watch CNN in the morning and I read CNN and MSNBC online. For drug related news I read stopthedrugwar.com and sometimes drugwarrant.com
You a journalism major, Otottoto? Me, too (as an undergrad)!
I get most of my news from PBS, NPR, ABC and local stations (and their corresponding online sites + The Drudge Report), the local morning paper, the NYTimes, Time and Newsweek. I also watch a good bit of CNN when there's breaking news or international news. I like Anderson Cooper's reporting a lot. I'm a badly addicted news junkie. I have to get it from somewhere or I start to go through withdrawal. I refuse to watch Fox, however. That's the most offensive name in credible news. I think PBS is the best.
Too many sources to list as I am a bit of an information nut and have to check out various sources simply to get the broadest picture possible.
Teletext
Newspapers
The Net
I have a compulsion to educate myself by trying to gather as much information as possible and I find that each outlet has it's own bias so by going to as many places as possible I hope to get a better balanced overview.
NPR, Democracy Now, CNN, ABC, Huffington Post, Crook & Liars, The Hill, Washington Post, NY Times, CLG, Rueters, BBC.
Without a doubt Bill O'Reilly, is the most fair and unbiased newscaster out there. :S2:
Seriously I get my news where you can trust it, Comedy Central and HBO. Names I can trust, John Stewart, Stephen Cobert and Bill Maher. :computerlove1:
For the printed press, I turn to the Internet, I can look anywhere I want.
Needless to say, I'm a little outa touch.:rastabanna:
There is no truth to the news we see on television, especially MS/NBC, but I still watch it. It is an "Establishment" channel in my point of view.
Reading is more abundant because knowledge is more abundant. I still have yet to completely acknowledge that because television is in many places. Usually I search for articles on the internet, sometimes for specific topics.
Nope, still undeclared... started as a bs-chem major but that didnt work out well with me, tho i stayed in NatSci since they've been extremely helpful during my cancer-scare-caused deferment of the fall semester.Quote:
