Where do you check for News each morning?

Forums:

For me, Usually I grab my iPad while on the throne and check:

1) CNN

2) ESPN

3) VivaLaZone

 

It's just my habit

VLZ is my home browser page, so I see that first. I check any appropriate links. I subscribe to the local daily newspaper (analog version), but may cancel it soon - price keeps going up and local news is getting rarer. I watch Maddow about 3 times a week to keep up with the latest doings of our "leaders". Never watch any other cable news. Wife has an alert on her phone from our local TV station so we'll know if a wildfire is heading our way.

That's it.

I have a radio alarm clock but this morning I listened to a jazz playlist and read depressing science news.

 

I subscribe to a few carefully selected & curated newsletter email lists. 

Viva hasn’t been a reliable news source since B-Rad underwent a handle-change operation. I do know a couple reliable youtubes if I need transmissions for East Hamlet, Long Island, though.

The Onion

Does your Internet Explorer catch “Democracy Now!”, Surf?

I watched Patriot Act with Hassan Minhaj.

Dunno - I don't use IE.

Don't think I've ever seen DN.

Was just funning with ya, surf.

I would take Democracy Now! over CNN any day, that's me.

The standard news sources that I check throughout the day:

National Weather Service

BBC (good world news with slight liberal bent)

Guardian (more liberal, less stuffy version of BBC)

CNN (Clinton News Network)

Fox (Trump news)

Al Jazeera (a lot like the BBC but with special focus on Middle East issues)

RT (Putin News)

KATU (local news)

Oregonian (local and regional news)

VLZ (all the news that is unfit to print)

Also listen to NPR on the morning and evening commutes (in depth journalism with a very subtle elitist liberal bias)

 

I will also sometimes check out these other sources, especially for certain regional issues:

Al Arabiya (Saudi news)

Haaretz (left of center Israeli news)

Politico

Reuters (good old fashion non-biased journalism)

Twitter (especially for breaking news to get on the ground reports)

Too many to list.

CNN has never been one of them.

democracy now. 

lol internet explorer. 

the national review

drudge report

info wars

- NPR

- Guardian

- Drudge Report (see what the crazies are saying)

- Mental Floss

- podcasts (Joe Rogan and Reply All)

First I check my local weather:

1. Kyweathercenter.com

Political weather: 

2. Politico.com/Playbook

Other news: Google/news, Wpost, Nytimes

i use reddit as a content aggregator, and use google to independently verify and research everything that i care about or sounds like bullshit.

lately ive started watching conservative podcast videos like stephen crowder, and its fun to experience some of those ideas laid out in a much more reasonable and logical manner than they are portrayed in the media, and still be intensely frustrated by all the glossing over and borderline stupidity they engage in.

i have been listening to joe rogan lately but youve really gotta idependently verify everything that sounds like bullshit in the least when it comes from rogan. its not that he is dishonest or glossing over anything, its just such a nonstop stream of consciousness flow of ideas that its easy for things to get twisted or misrepresented.

"these are not normal chimps, they are dmt smoking chimps that will tear you to shreds. jamie, pull up that study"

^ I was disappointed when Joe got the definition of boofing incorrect.

Rogan is mildly entertaining, in a star fucker kind a way.  He believes that he is very smart.

I jump on twitter -- it's all there. Follow all the news orgs, crazies, and assorted mouths.  The 'news' is somewhere in the middle.  

 

  

Star-Telegram, NY Times & Park Record newspapers

bloomberg, bloomberg columnists Noah Smith and Barry Ritholtz

twitter feeds from CNBC reporters:  John Harwood, Carl Quintanilla, sometimes David Faber

Econ Profs Brad Delong and Paul Krugman

The Calculated Risk blog

twitter feeds from Washington Post reporters/columnists

Twitter feeds of lots of Never Trump Republicans e.g. Rick Wilson, David Frum, Tom Nichols

occasionally evening news, usually NBC or ABC

very occasionally the Lawrence O'Donnell show on MSNBC

not sure I've ever really watched CNN.

Used to watch a little fox to check on the nuts, but it is just too silly these days

also Jon Chait, Josh Marshall, Louise Mensch, Claude Taylor, "Counterchekist"  :)

>>>He believes that he is very smart

He routinely admits when his guests are smarter than him and often times acknowledges that he's a "meathead lifter who likes fighting".

 

Situational awareness.

Usually listen to NPR in the car, but I also use an app called "feedly".  I load it up with my sources and it sends me a mixed stream of news, music, sports, arts to start my day. My news feed includes NYT, NY Mag, WashPo, BBC, NY Review of Books (also has current events, really good stuff), local daily and weekly, hometown paper, The Atlantic, The Intercept, Mother Jones, Pro Publica, Reuters,The Guardian.  Outside Online for my public lands news. 

Twitter

memorandum.com

check it out it’s a great news aggregator. no more reason to visit 15 news websites.

The Stephanie Miller Show

 

It's like a MENSA meeting.  With fart jokes.

Great links Nino.

Thanks.

Sux without the I-Man....;)

NY Times - NPR - PBS.  TV (remember that?) offers lots of “news” type stuff. The usual suspects.  CNN, MSNBC, FOX. 

Depending on what I’m watching, I enjoy channel surfing.  I like to see what different sides are saying. Oh & that silly Internet

allows access to all kinds of news. Interesting times we are living in. 

Pornhub, but their info there seems suspect at best.

Memorandum is awesome!  Thanks for the tip, Bucky.
