I considered hitting "other" because I get my news from several sources. I run Fox News while I'm doing nonsense stuff in the house and prefer local news in the morning when I drink my coffee. I can't actually sit and watch Fox News because they go on and on about stuff like the Scott Peterson case, give me a break!

I have a subscription for the local newspaper but I don't read it everyday. So, television news is the way to go for me.

I checked CNN because it is on in the background most of the day. However, I always watch the local news at 5:00 and 11:00, and also read the newspaper.

Local stations the majority of the time. I watch in the mornings at work. Used to love to watch Good Morning America. But I work nights now and am usually asleep when it comes on.

Um . . . what do you mean you never got any kind of news? Cave dweller?

Take care,

I get my news from several sources. I get the local news from our small town paper (or from the people dropping in to the post office to collect their mail atthe same time I do!). I get state news from daily newspaper delivery. I also get the New York Times and Village Voice online, and listen to Canadian and World News on T.V. throughout the day.

Hehehe, by that I meant, I got no newspaper, I don't have a radio or television in my house, and the radio stations I listened to in the car were just like celeb headlines... I never saw evening news and never checked yahoo... relied on word of mouth from family members for like an entire year. Then I felt kind of out of it. Now I listen to NPR and get the local paper. Still don't have a radio or television in the house. :) But that's about it.

i selected 'other'. Most times i keep up with the news by reading online. Many times i get the latest news in conversing with clients while cutting their hair. Like bartending, working as a cometologist involves alot of conversation with clients, many times we hear some of our local news before it even hits the local media.

You've got Sky TV !!! Book me in to come over and watch Super 12 and the Lions tour this year.

I watch Bloomberg and DW on CTV for news.

Actually Paulnz I have the peasants version of Sky known as Saturn :-)

It would be fine for you to come over and watch the Lions tour and the Super12 (assuming it was on Saturn) - except I guess I';d have to serve you beer and snacks and take care of your every need as well as make out like Im having fun watching it too - this damn submissive nature of mine will get me into trouble one day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From memory ( saw Saturn at a place I was staying at ) Saturn is higher class than Sky ? It had extra features, like movies on a pay per view etc., though I haven't connected to the cable running past my place as the company representing themselves were very dishonest. They hijacked me and timetabled in underground installation when I hadn't asked, and I only found this out as one of the work crew mentioned they were doing my place too !! I went ballistic.

Not only would you have to attend to my every need, but suffer with my belching and putting my feet up on your coffee table. These days I have the indignity of going to the Holy Grail.

Online is her favorite wat foreign media outlets are amust for more accurate war time coverage, she real times Al-Jazeera also she watches the Democracy Now and LINK channels via satellite which have a more broad spectrum approach to news...Fox news and MSNBC and the like are more akin to govt propaganda then anything else....like one giant red white and blue commerical.
