Me too.

He makes learning fun.


I get it from the Newspeper when i read it, I always read it when bad things happen, like, not things i knew were gonna be in the paper, but things i knew that happened, that are in it.

Like a while back i read it and there was an article in the Province on my missing friend, then a week ago there was an article in the Tri-Cities paper on him, so i am now giving up reading newspapers. :p

I never wathc news on TV, i catch snippets from time to time, but i dont make a concious effort to sit down and watch the news. Im usually flipping through when i see something about a fire, or landslide or something.

I go on cnn.com at least once a day and that's pretty much where I get my news. For local news, I watch ABC news on TV.

Some people on this forum consider TV news to be biased and evil and wrong on most things :p

But usually if I'm browsing on yahoo or google and look at the news, I catch it. Usually just watch CNN or another news channel to pass time if nothing else is on.

TV (and any media in general) is always biased. Many people will read an opinion in a paper or on tv and take it as a fact.

Usually, for the basic news, I'll get it from CNN (non-Canadian news anyway). For Canadian news, I'll get it from CBC. However, I never take any news reporters opinion or whatever they're trying to tell you as fact, just the actual event.

I get my sports news from ESPN and Fox Sports or any of their online sites.

I get my local news from FOX 11 or now that the school year is starting, Good Day LA in the morning. If anything big happens I just read about it on the web if I care enough. Usually, I just learn from word of Mouth.

I get the majority of my news from National Public Radio (NPR). It's the only listenable thing in the car these days except the Oldies station. I don't watch a great amount of TV news, but if I do it's my local NBC 11 O'clock news or something.

Interesting choices considering Fox News is way to the right even though they claim to be "fair and balanced" and The Daily Show leans heavily to the left.

Fox News and occasionally the BBC News site.

I am quite left myself, and enjoy the daily show alot, but i do watch CNN a lot. I watch CBC every now and then since they seem to be much more unbiased about a lot of issues.

Yeah, but Fox News is 24 hours and it has the nicest colors and layout out of all the 24 hour news channels..... :sneaky:

Plus I like when they try to act fair and balanced but obviously aren't...
