Just wondering how you all get your news. Personally, I cant stand TV news outlets, so I stick to the web-based news (mainly BBC and NY Times). What about you? Do you pick up the paper every morning, watch it on TV, check out web blogs, go to legit web-based news outlets, or what?

NY Post in the morning for the bullshit local and sports news, google news feed and other various internet sources throughout the day. i go thru phases of reading the wall street journal and the NY Times. For work related news I read the Observer or go on curbed.com or therealdeal.com.

Forgot to add that my school gets the NY Times as well, so i scan it occasionally in the mornings. I also watch the daily show sometimes, but hardly for its news content.

BBC, The Guardian and the Financial Times.


As much as a I love TV and internet news, nothing beats a solid broadsheet.

the week. its probably the best news magazine there is. they summarize the news stories of the week, all the way down to the best editorials, and take the best of pretty much everything: articles, gossip, tabloid stories, funny news, cartoons, its all there. and while it may sound like the cliff notes of news, for the stupid people, its actually written quite intelligently and is in no way dumbed down. i highly recommend it, as somebody who much prefers to read their news then hear it.

BrewskiJr: GO MIAMI! what the fuck is your name so we can go ski together.

I actually just wrote this down in the "useful sites thread." wsj.com is a great source for news, at least as a business student. I feel like the business side of things allows for less spin on the issues. Maybe they just speak my language though.

check it out, its usually very helpful and insightful.

NPR

or

John Stewart taken with a heaping portion of salt

all other news sources (besides cross referencing an article on the internet) is garbage.

If you watch Fox news you are mentally retarded. I will not back down from this statement so fuck off.
