Which News Sources Do You Like?

[jon_berzerk]

I like Fox News because IMO they are more honest than any of the other news channels.

BBD: I flip through to Fox sometimes too, but they are at the top of the list hated most by left-wing liberals. Just sayin', don't shoot the messenger! That's why I want Jeremiah's url link so I can see who published that list he posted.

I've heard DOOSIES on both ends - on CNN, couldn't believe some of the crap I heard out of Lemon and Fareed Zakaria, and the other day I wanted to choke Geraldo Rivera and O'Rielly!

they all have their own agendas

these days

AH, Thanks Jeremiah! That's helpful. I'll check it out later.

during the Boston bombing

i did not listen to or watch one national news channel

everything i heard

came from the use of the internet to gain access to

police scanners

local on the scene live reporting

and message boards

Hey Jon - if you were using police scanners, you must have been local to the area, right? You up near Boston or vicinity? Those probably were alot more informative.

Message boards, huh? Those could be good if people are online monitoring news real-time. I like Internet news too, especially scanning headlines on Google news because if stuff hits the Net, Google gets it almost immediately.

actually i live in South Dakota

my Kindle has a national scanner app

plus some folks from the area put live Boston area scanners up on ustream

yes it was very informative

plus via the net i was able to watch local on the scene reporting unedited

the message boards helpful in directing interesting spots

for me this is the only way to go

it was quite an eye opener for me on the power of the internet

long may it live

and tax free ta boot

SOUTH DAKOTA!!? Holy crap, there are actually people who live there? You are the first I've met ever. (You're still getting snow, right??) That's quite a triangulation matrix you've got there buddy, wow. Guess whatever works is great!

Yes they do - and unless you listen to some particular channel for awhile, you won't really know what those are, unless you check first as to where they fall on the lib/consv chart.

And today, news stories & finger-pointing is flying all over the place online!

didnt watch any

had better things to do

like removing a bunch of global warming off my sidewalk

 

[zombiehunter696]

I don't really have a favorite. I try to get as many perspectives as I can so when I find a story that interests me, I'll look for the same story from several different sources.

do yourself a favor

and try and wean yourself off that garbage

That works, definitely.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Fox News, Christian Science Monitor, Washington Post, Atlanta Journal Constitution

 

[auditor0007]

Those still exist?

 

[editec]

Those still exist?

Yeah.

Its a quaint old custom, but believe it or not, people used to put ink to paper to convey information.

There are still whole buildings devoted to housing these anachronistic artifacts.

 

[Politico]

The ones that are right 100% of the time.

 

[ABikerSailor]

The ones that are right 100% of the time.

Well, MSNBC isn't right all of the time, but when they catch themselves reporting something in error, they try to correct it as soon as they can, which is why I watch MSNBC.

I used to watch CNN, at least, until they got more into the TMZ type of reporting, and pretty much lost all their integrity.

I've even watched FAUX Nooze, but got tired of all the hate and petty comments they make.

But then again.....................when the SC ruled on Obamacare, FAUX Nooze and CNN were quite quick to say that the SC had ruled it unconstitutional, and said it for a while, while MSNBC wanted to wait until all the facts were in.

As a matter of fact, the same thing happened last week when both FAUX Nooze and CNN decided to say that the FBI had made an arrest of a "brown skinned male", when in fact, all the FBI had done was release photos asking the public for help.

MSNBC said they had new info, but had to wait until it was verified, and once again, they were the only ones to get it right.

MSNBC is willing to wait until all the facts are in, the other 2 aren't.

BTW....................wanna talk about how that NYT paper with the headline "Bagmen" got it so horribly wrong? They haven't issued an apology for their fuck up yet.

I also stay up late and watch BBC on PBS when it comes on at 11:00 pm. Not only are they pretty non partisan in their reporting, but they bring in stories from the rest of the world that the American media doesn't cover because they're too wrapped up in whatever is going on here in the U.S. America isn't the only country in the world, which is why I appreciate the BBC, because they report on things from all over the globe.

Messageboards (like here at USMB) are good sources to find out things, but I question many of the facts until I'm able to verify it on at least 2 other places. For breaking news, USMB is good to alert a person (that's how I found out about Gabby Giffords), but you've gotta check out the facts on other places like real news sites, to verify the information is real.

And finally......................I bounce around between the websites of MSNBC, BBC, Yahoo, and Suddenlink (my local cable provider) to see where they all have the same information.

It's good to be able to have more than 1 source to report the news for you, because otherwise, you can become a brainwashed drone.

You have to distinguish between what is commentary/opinion like O'Reilly, Geraldo and hard news, Bret Baier and Shepard Smith.

 

[eflatminor]

I think of news sources grouped based on their political tendencies. So, while I don't necessarily 'like' all those sources, I get my news from the following:

1. Conservative leaning sources - Drudge (the headlines anyway), Fox, Brietbart, Blaze, Newsbusters.
2. Progressive leaning sources - HuffPo, and pretty much any local or national mainstream media outlet.
3. Libertarian leaning sources - Reason, Daily Caller, Stossel.

My favorite is Reason.com because of all that logic and reason stuff...

 

[mightydog]

The Onion!

 

[SanTropez]

Online media. News are updated very quickly....

Yep. Like today, breaking news is FLYING on the web. Some networks haven't even picked it up yet!
