Where do you go for news about politics?

I gather information from many sources. I look at liberal and conservative sources. But I will also research something before I give it any creedance. As they say on the X Files, “the truth is out there”. It is there for anyone willing to take the time to find it. But there ares some not willing to research and only get their info from extreme right wing sources like Newsmax, Townhall, NewsBusters, or the FreeRepublic.

econsult makes a very good point in the way the mainstream media is afraid to call something a lie for fear of being labeled bias. Take the “lipstick on a pig” non-sense going on. They are reporting McCain’s accusations of sexism as if they had even the slightest bit of credibility. It is quite obvious Obama was not talking about Palin when he said it, but you would never know that based on the news coverage. They are treating it as if it is what he said was actually open to debate, instead of reporting on the fact that McCain is running ads that promote an out and out lie.

“I watch them all…from FOX to CNN to the three major’s”

Phrannie, you are not going to get the whole story from any of them. FAKE News isn’t even a legitimate news organization. They are a propaganda arm for the Republican party. And CNN isn’t much better than FAUX News.

Try the BBC, or PBS. You will get much more unbiased news reports.

I watch them all…from FOX to CNN to the three major’s…Newpapers are just as biased…so best to get as many views as possible, and draw conclusions from somewhere in the middle…

I go to CNN and ABCNEWS a lot though these days CNN is little better than FOX.

For in depth coverage I like Mother Jones.

It’s hard to find a source that hasn’t been tainted in some way. Politicians lie and manipulate as do government officials, the media broadcasts things that sell like things that illicit fear… There’s so much crap on our television sets that it’s hard to discern what to believe anymore. Sometimes I wish our democracy ran more like a monarchy heh.

I like to read books, but I’m still wary. They still have to pass through something; it wouldn’t be out in public if it wasn’t approved by someone. Currently, I’m reading ‘The Culture Of Fear’ by Barry Glassner.

FOX and NBC are terribly biased

but generally newspapers from the bigger cities (LA, NYC etc.) are more trustable, IMO

I either watch fox, or go on the internet to get my news. Sometimes, I even listen to the radio.
