Title: Where do you get your news?
Post by: popeye on March 06, 2002, 11:20:21 AM

Talk on the radio today about consolidation of ownership of news sources.  Even though I avoid most commercial news sources, I guess I am getting a pretty one-sided veiw.

My sources:

International:  "The News Hour" (Public Broadcasting System), "The World" (BBC), "All Things Considered" (National Public Radio), The New York Times.

National:  "The News Hour" (Public Broadcasting System), "All Things Considered" (National Public Radio), The New York Times.

Regional:  WEMU News (Public Radio affiliate), WUOM News (Public Radio affiliate), The Ann Arbor News (newspaper).

Local:  WEMU News (Public Radio affiliate), WUOM News (Public Radio affiliate), The Ann Arbor News (newspaper), The Manchester News (newspaper).

Financial:  (lately....I don't want to know)

Sports:  WDIV (local commercial television)

Yes you are. You need to add Satirewire and the Onion to your diet immediately! Too much left or right-wing stuff can make a body ill.

Chicago Tribune

At least 1 hour or so of broadcast (Fox/MSNBC/CNN) a day -- whatever the remote happens to stop on that looks interesting. The Onion of course (don't forget "Savage Love" while you're there :) )

I try to read a good, non-fiction book on present or past issues each month or so. I look for books that piss off extremists on both sides and figure the author must have done a good job. That one click on Amazon can be dangerous though, as can walking into a book store :) I can easily drop $100 or so.

I find myself watching Hannity and Colmes, on FNC, these days. Although Colmes clearly, is a liberal. His arguments are often intelligent, and make me stop and think.  I seldom agree with him. But he does give me reason to pause. Hannity is in the same "weight class" And I often pick up info there that I have heard nowhere else.

I get my news from just about anywhere that claims to provide it.
I then take all that data and feed it into the area of my brain where objective reasoning (hopefully) occurs.  I then formulate a position or opinion and express it if I deem it useful or at least, informative and/or entertaining.
