I was wondering where people get their news...Fox, CNN, AP, Reuters, local or national newspapers, talk radio (which talk radio), other sources.

Hello SB Mama!!

I get my news from NPR and the major networks. I like to watch each evening news broadcast so that I can compare the way they tell each story.

I sometimes watch MSNBC, but I don't consider that news. Hubby watches Fox on occassion (he's spying) and says the same thing - its not news. I am boycotting CNN altogether until they get banish Nancy Grace back to CourtTV where she belongs. I be better off trying to get my news from and episode of Law & "Ripped-From-the-Headlines" Order.

Don't listen to "opinion" radio from EITHER side of the political coin. Call in shows in general make me very uncomfortable.

I actually think that NPR is pretty good about presenting both sides of a story (although they can focus a little too much on the "human" side). I do agree with some in congress who want a counterbalance to Bill Moyers. Talk about a "lefty"! Still, he's fun to watch (rallies "the base" at our house).;)

Wait! You didn't mention message boards. I get all my news from the message boards. :)

No, for serious, I usually glean my news from several sources online: cnn.com, foxnews.com, cspan.com, wallstreetjournal.com, and (when specifically talking about news re: the political candidates) the candidates' official websites.

I rarely ever watch television coverage, unless it's a live debate or speech by the candidates themselves. I watched a good chunk of both of the conventions, so that was quite interesting. :)

I try and get a pretty broad range. FOX, CNN, NPR, internet, ABC, NBC. I also listen to talk radio, but I know that isn't designated as "news"

Usually because of time constraints it is our local paper, and CNN.com
