Where do yall get your news?

[OPC'n]

From the voices in my head.

 

[21st Century Calvinist]

BBC, NPR, CNN, NY Times.

From the voices in my head.

Same here! It's better than what's in the media.

 

[Rangerus]

Honestly, I get my news from forums like PB and my favorite sports forum. (OrangeBlood.com for you Texas Longhorn fans) The way I see it, if it's important or relevant then someone is going to post it. Oh yeah and I Twitter.

 

[Knoxienne]

Worldnetdaily is pretty good. Bill and I don't like World Magazine.
I like the New American and I think I'm going to subscribe to that.

I was wondering if someone was going to mention WND. Though they're extreme premil, I like 'em. Drudge is my homepage.

I avoid toilets like nytimes, slate, bbc, etc., with a passion.

But even what I look at is only the briefest of glimpses. Too much Scripture awaits, as well as good Puritan books.

True. I used to listen to All Things Considered. Like anything (BBC, NY Times) it can be useful as long as you're aware of where they're coming from.

Nytimes.com - I love this paper

How do you sort the truth from such one sidedness.
I hear it is pretty one sided. The least number of divergent view editors than any other paper in the country. Like only 1 Republican or something

Every news source has its biases and its important to read everything with a critical eye - Nytimes, WSJ, Fox, CNN - everything. True enough, the NYtimes leans towards the left, but they also cover many many human rights stories that you won't find in other places. I also enjoy their theatre, film, and art reviews.

Also, I can't believe I left out World magazine! Its actually probably my favorite publication. But, since its only coming out bi-monthly now, I don't really rely on it for news - just cultural/political commentary.

 

[Theoretical]

... Slate, BBC, ... Sometimes I'll take a look at one of the 3 news networks' websites. I'm still looking for a conservative version of Slate.

Yes, I too would like a Bizarro universe version of Slate: like Slate, thoughtful, if usually wrong, and unafraid to criticize their own side, but coming from the opposite angle.

I like to get my news from Slate because of the thoughtful quality of a lot of the reporting, and precisely because they are extremely unlikely to agree with me: becoming a dittohead of some type is a great fear of mine.

If I'm desperately bored I'll look at the headlines from Google News.

WOW

You explained my reasons for reading and liking Slate better than I can, and because you have the same reasons for doing so.

And ditto to not wanting to be a dittohead for my part, right, left, or center.

Google news for a quick overview

Freerepublic.com to get some of the liberal spin taken off.

 

[Webservant]

covenantnews.com in very measured doses
MSNBC.com
drudgereport.com
lewrockwell.com

 

[George Bailey]

Foxnews.com-disgusts me!

I used to go to Foxnews.com a lot, since it was supposed to be "conservative"...but, what is conservative about bikini-clad women, and stories of hollywood stars' sex lives? If you look at the web page, it's got that garbage on it every day.

This is exactly my problem with foxnews. Lately, its really focused on celebrity gossip....and I just don't care at all...

I customize Google News to my tastes. I even have categories for 'Theology', 'Calvinism', 'Religion', my home town, etc.

We need a new George Orwell - which Hitchens is not.
