Apiphobic Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) Besides the wtm boards, of course. ;) I've set my homepage with several RSS feeds so I can glimpse the headlines and read what interests me. The feeds are Top Stories, CNN, New York Times, BBC News, Fox News, People ;), local weather, and Flixter Movies. Hmm, wonder if there's a Jon Stewart RSS feed I can add? I see many people have selected "websites," so now I'm wondering if you really do go to that particular website every day (i.e., http://www.nytimes.com or http://www.foxnews.com, etc.) or if you have an RSS feed.

eternalknot Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Talking to people. I don't watch much tv, and definitely not any news. I don't read the newspaper, and only look at a few magazines the few days I'm at work each month. I switched from yahoo to gmail, so I don't get that splash of news when I check my email. Mostly I hear what's going on through people I know and forums I visit. It's a nice rock, the one I live under :) I'm happier here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidsHappen Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I picked social networks which in my case would be this board. It's the only place I go on-line and I don't watch tv or read the paper. I also get news from my hubby, brother and kids. Rarely do they ever mention something I haven't already heard here though.

lionfamily1999 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 No tv, little radio, I get my google home page news every time I log on. Then, there's here (where I learn all kinds of interesting news). I also read some papers online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 CNN.com, Newsweek, and the local paper (mostly an amusing collection of typos and other errors) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texascamps Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Foxnew.com, Wall Street Journal, Arts and Letters Daily, and news aggregators like hotair.com, that pull articles from newspapers and tv news from all over the country. I hit the NYtimes to see what they are avoiding to print or what spin they are pushing and then I check CNN to see what they aren't reporting. I used to go to CNN first but they don't actually report anything anymore, they seem to stick to all human interest type stories, no world or us news of any consequence. I think you have to go to more than one place nowadays and always try to find the source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutor Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 NPR is on pretty much all day here. I also check the NYT via GoogleReader every morning, but I only elect to receive certain sections and don't peruse the whole paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
