I usually watch CNN for at least two hours a day to get my news. Sometimes I check out their website. Occasionally, I'll watch the local news or the NBC nightly news. I love the Daily Show and Colbert Report, but they're on too late for me :cry: I wish they were on at the same time as the regular local and nightly news times. I bet then you'd really see where people get their news from.


They repeat Daily Show at 7, and Colbert Report at 7:30 the next day. (From the previous night) Or you could do as I do, and tape them :P.

Mayan, you have a point. Day-old news is not as good as day-old pizza and smells twise as much. Mmm... day-old pizza. Thinks back to breakfast.

Since anymore we are facing a biased media, I look at several different sides on boths sides of an issue (if something blows up in Russia, I read the American reports, and the Russian reports), then believe what is in the middle of the two. The way I figure it, that's about the only way to defeat any kind of bias that is happening, eh? o_O :thinking:

I don't watch the news very much, but when I do I usually watch the local news station that my sister works at.

Well I skim the newspapers every morning. Usually my mum has the radio on so I listen to that in the background if there's anything interesting on.
Here in the UK the main news is 10 o'clock news on BBC1 and 10:30 on ITV. So sometimes I watch that - usually BBC1, or catch the headlines at least.
I don't really get news from the internet.

Secondhand (or would it be third? Fourth? Fifth?) from my friends, family, and gossip. =) Otherwise, I'm clueless about the world affairs.

Local news and the world news. I only look online for news if something interesting catches my eyes as it's usually just something I've already heard on the world (or possibly local) news regurgitated. I mostly only look more into the parts revolving around science breakthroughs as the rest is cluttered with death, accidents, and war - which is about 60% of the local news around here (thne there's probably the 30% sports, which is a completely different story).

I usually read my news in the forums or hear my dad complaining about it.

I have to read the news to keep up with my Government and politics studies I use the websites of CNN, BBC, Guardian and Times, aswell as reading the newspapers, I read the Daily post for local and Welsh news, and the Express. At school I'll normally read the Telegraph and the Times in the morning if I have a free lesson and The Mail and The Independent or Guardian depending how I feel. I also watch the news on the TV on ITV and BBC depending on which channel I happen to be on, and again for Welsh news I'll watch HTV or BBC Wales. Also I watch the satirical TV shows for a different take on the news.
