Where do you go for news and information?

[petardier]

I'm curious about where you go for information. If you have time, add a few of your favorite sources in a comment.

In case you're wondering, I tend to treat information from web sites and blogs with more skepticism than the "traditional" sources - especially if it's a site I don't know.



Newspapers:
Boston Globe - (print version)
New York Times - (free online version, but considering paying for Times Select)

Radio channels:
NPR
Air America (but I don't think they're on the air in Boston any longer)

TV:
The Daily Show - a mix of dumb humor, interviews, and flashes of brilliant commentary
The Colbert Report - a hilarious mockery of right-wing TV/radio

Web sites:
Salon.com - (paid version)
Daily Kos - (the main articles and recommended articles)
Americablog
Firedoglake - good for Libby trial nuance and bogus WMD claims
Glenn Greenwald - (now on Salon)
Orcinus - right wing authoritarian thinking analyzed

Context is key. And until NPR stops using phrases like "Surge" and "gaming" (instead of the more correct "gambling"), and "Death Tax" I'm afraid their news is simply watered-down Rightwing talking points.

I like the sites you do, the occasional article in the Economist, and a lot
of foreign press whenever I encounter some.

I also read the saucy swishy AmericaBlog and Crooks and Liars.

NPR isn't all Repug talking points, but they are seen on NPR more frequentyly than I'd like.

On the web: NY Times... via RSS Findory.com I mix my television sources pretty thoroughly (though there is one particular channel that I do ignore completely): The Today Show CNN Headline News NBC or CBS evening news -rich NBC's Countdown and Hardball NBC's Meet The Press and ABC's This Week BBC World News, occasionally Nightline, occasionally The Daily Show, occasionally In print: I do not read a daily print newspaper any more, though I do get the Sunday Globe. I also don't get any news magazines in print, though I do occasionally pick up The Economist, and also The New Yorker for after the fact analysis.

I should have remembered the New Yorker. We subscribe, and they do have great analysis.
