    Fox News, Drudge Report, Briebart, Conservative Review, Mark Levin. The only news sources that I trust. Plus I follow a lot of politicians on my Facebook like Greg Abbott, Pat McCrory, Ted Cruz, Jim Bridenstine, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Tom Cotton, Joni Ernst, etc.

    I try to stay away from the liberal news outlets :)

    The Atlantic, NYT, Washington Post, Politico, NPR

    For local stuff, the Charlotte Observer or the News and Observer

    I generally try to avoid the news unless there's a riot going on somewhere. Watching the Baltimore riot was gnarly

    On the rare occasion I need to know, either NPR or The Wall Street Journal. Broadcast journalism has been dead to me since Ed Bradley passed away.

    I used to go to CNN, but got tired of the human-interest stories.

    I live in the U.S., but I use the BBC now. The cover enough.

    I use my local news webpage for local stuff.

    Memes.



    But usually NPR or Google News, of late.

    I try to get a healthy dose of both, honestly. It's never felt right to me to only have news from one side of the political spectrum.

    Same. Those kinds of stories just saturated their newsfeed.

    It's all about that meme magic, bruh. :p

    Very little TV. Some Fox and CNN. Some BBC. I watched al-jazeera English when it was available. But now mostly papers and online journals.

    I still miss Al-Jazeera America. :( Took their stories seriously, generally refused to sensationalize, and featured opinions that weren't always part of the mainstream discourse in the U.S. I read Jacobin and Socialist Worker and watch Democracy Now! for leftist opinions but their funding pales in comparison, obviously.

    I would also recommend Euro News, if you can get it. And Al Jazeera still has a good English service even if AJAmerica is now defunct.

    Yes sorry it was AJ America I was referring too not the English one. The American one lasted so little time I've already forgotten what it was named.

    I just liked it because they were underdogs in an American market. You could tell they were really trying to give it straight because they were under a microscope.

    I just liked it because they weren't in overdrive like all these other American networks that seem like they're on crank the whole time(actually they probably are on crank. Forget "seems like").

    To answer the thread title, I don't. I'm a hermit and all I do all day is scream at kids to get away from my out-in-the-boonies property. Also there are no children and I live in a suburb.

    Don't be silly, absinthe is harmless.




    Turpentine. I ingest and inhale turpentine. It keeps me well oiled and informed of current world events.

    What I actually subscribe to: NYT Digital, David Pakman Show
    What I would subscribe to if I had more money: Washington Post, New Yorker, Majority Report

    Other stuff I follow regularly: Politico, BBC, NPR, The Hill, The Guardian, Slate, FiveThirtyEight, The Nation, Democracy Now, Bloomberg, Friendly Atheist on Patheos. All exclusively online.

    I listen to the NPR, FiveThirtyEight, Slate, and New Yorker podcasts as well, and Startalk and some pop culture news stuff. I have podcasts playing for a lot of my day when I'm doing other stuff, though far from all of it is news.

    I normally avoid all television news and their sites (aside from BBC), but when I have a working TV available I always go directly to C-SPAN and PBS. The closest I get to normal TV news is TYT, which I think is very hit-or-miss depending on the subject and who's on.

    Always felt like I should get into The Economist and Al-Jazeera but I just never have. Sorry Ender.

    Yes! Everyone on CNN is always yelling. It annoys the hell out of me.
