where do you get your online news from?
by ryanvb83 on Thu Nov 24, 2005 7:25 am
out of curiousity... I'd like to know where you guys get your online news from. I try to visit a variety of sites because I hate left wing or right wing bullshit. I visit drudgereport.com several times a day. But the guy who runs it is pretty conservative. I go to the mainsteam ones too... cnn.com, msnbc.com, and foxnews.com. So anyway, where do you go?

I get my tech news fix from dslreports.com, and I usually try to stay away from other news in general. I hate knowing what's going on in the world.

Google news, sometimes slashdot
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.-Thoreau

Lenta.ru Rambler.ru. Sometimes Deutsche Welle (only when want to see reall blow-job to USA goverment ))) ), few months ago readed NY Times. Butt all that stuff is only a shit that politicans want to feed us ((( I dont trust any news agency one at time. Even when they all tell the same - all their news are just falsehood. IMHO

I get my news right into the top bar of my IRC client (irssi with the newsline.pl script - look at my screenshot, the second line with blue background). It reads RSS/RDF feeds. Currently I've configured the following feeds:
- FutureZone (German)
- heise.de (German)
- N24 (German)
I'm x^10 + x^8 + x^5 + x^4 + x^3 + 1, so don't mess with me!

Slashdot for the geeky stuff, and LexisNexis for everything else. I use CNN for world news, but I tend to avoid it for domestic affairs.

Whirlpool for aussie broadband stuff
SMH (Sydney Morning Herald) for aussie tech stuff and then just other random news (I know I live in melbourne, piss off)
For domestic and international affairs I usually just turn on the TV

There are some really good links at http://www.cdedebate.com/extemplink.html
I usually take a peek at The Economist because of their analysis, though they tend to be ever so slightly liberal in their views. For my link to reality, The Onion is the best!

www.newyorktimes.com
www.mirror.co.uk
www.wired.com
www.npr.org
news.bbc.co.uk
cnn.com is OK, but nytimes is better written with fewer ads
foxnews and 'the daily show' have similar levels of journalistic integrity, but I tend to find more humor in the latter.
If light has no mass, why does it take so much force to turn on the light-switch?
