What's your favorite source of news these days?

[VeritasMama]

I have given up trying to find unbiased news, I simply read my news from a variety of biased sources and try to glean the facts out of the bias and opinion. These include:

 

Drudge Report

NYP

NYT

WSJ

The Guardian

The Daily Beast

Lifesitenews

 

I used to listen to NPR everday, but I too had to stop after one too many stories about the Catholic church where actual Catholic doctrines and/or positions were explained poorly or flat out misrepresented. I don't think that Catholic positions on topics such as embryonic stem cells are obtuse or hard to find, they are pretty clearly defined and available to the public. The only logical conclusion I could draw was that they simply weren't interested in presenting the Catholic church in an accurate light, whether this is because they are blinded by bias or intentionally pursuing an agenda I can't say.

Guilty pleasure with a totally slanted view? Salon (though Salon is even too much for me half the time.)

Actual news? NPR

 

ETA: I don't watch TV or really even listen to the radio. All of my news comes from online sources.

NPR (only when I'm in the car)

 

Websites -- Reuters, NBC News, BBC, Al Jazeera, Washington Post, NYT

 

I do watch cable news (MSNBC and CNN) but more as background noise/infotainment than news.

BBC online. There's an American news tab as well as world, UK, etc. I also listen to BBC Radio 4, but I don't know if that is rebroadcast overseas. Laura

...Laura, I really liked listening to Radio 4 when I was in Britain. I wish BBC would broadcast it worldwide.

 

Much of BBC, including some Radio 4 shows, is available through podcasts.

Farming Today (very perky morning show - well worth listening to if you like farming or food)

Women's Hour

BBC World Update

Best of Today

Food Programme

Documentary of the Week

From Our Own Correspondent

Gardener's Question Time

Desert Island Discs

and, of course, The Archers. :-)

 

The CBC also has a ton of podcasts, including my favorite, the brief "French Word of the Week".

So, I was reading my son's online student newspaper tonight... and I realized that I will probably learn more from that than from most of the television news broadcasts available to me. :crying: Sad but true.

 

(By the way, it's www.newsademic.com if anyone is interested in a subscription... for your kids or yourself, LOL... I got the information from another thread here recently!!)

The Economist

The only publication I respect and listen to their opinion. I am always appaled how little journalists know about the regions and issues they are spewing opinions about. The standards have been terrible ever since most publications no longer have journalists based abroad. I find The Economist to be a pleasant exception.

 

General news mostly NPR in the car.
