Where Do You Get Your News From?

Quick survey..
Since the conflict started, I've been using some news sites (BBC, Reuters, Sky) but I always go back to Teletext and prefer it to the televised news or newspapes. Everyone else?

CNN and BBC (both online) and the Economist in print, though it's not good for up to the minute news since it's weekly.

BBC Radio Five Live in the morning, backed up by BBC news and Sky News in the evening. If I could still recieve BBC News 24 as I did last year, I would prefer that to Sky News.

Try googling for Arabic news websites, CMaster, that's all I can think of.
Personally, I try to avoid the news. It probably makes me more than a little uninformed, but ignorance is bliss and all that rot. When I can't avoid it, I watch the TV news, read the Daily Telegraph newspaper or read ninemsn.com.au. But that's usually only when someone around here brings something to my interest anyway...

The Rush Limbaugh Show! Yay!
Just kidding! That's not where I get my news, though I do agree with Rush on some things.
I watch FOX and ABC, and listen to the radio, whichever talk station happens to be nearer my dial.

what people i know tell me.
various websites i visit that also discuss what is going on in the world. sometimes i'll go look up something specific if i hear about it.
indymedia.org
actagainstwar.org/
national radio (nz) and tv news updates before i can get to the remote.
mostly i'm not interested in the w*r in terms of how the invasion is going, and am avoiding tv, radio and print news about it as much as i can. its interesting to see how much still manages to seep through -
osmosis then.

I like to check in at the Drudge Report* and Nealz Nuze* at the begining of the day and while I'm surfing. I pick up an Atlanta Journal-Constitution*, our local paper, every couple of days. The AJC Vent* can be an interesting window into Atlanta's feelings about the war.
At the house, I watch MSNBC* mostly. They seem to have the most reasonable people on TV, including my semi-hero, General Barry McCaffery. He was my division commander during the Gulf War. He was widely regarded as a genius in the 24th ID. I don't care much for FoxNews, but I check in every once in a while. Their anchors are idiots, but every once in a while, they'll have Colenel David Hunt on. He was my battalion commander in Korea, and he was a character. I also watch CNN now and again.
