its just a simple question

me:
WWW.WND.COM
CNN
FOX News ( i love their very very very obvious bias)
NPR ( PRI )
Radio Talkshow hosts (Rush, Neal Boortz, Sean Hannity, Dr Laura Schlesinger, Dr Dean Adell, and Clark Howard)
Daily Show
www.indymedia.org ( as much as i disagree with their very very very obvious bias)
Sunday morning political talk shows on the Big Three.
Macneil/Lehrer (PBS)
Financial Times (US edition)
US News and World Report
Newsweek.

thats about it..anything else is just snippets and i dont read/watch/listen to them all regularly.

no one fucking cares, are you trying to get us to argue about media sources cause i read the globe and mail everyday. i read the new york times regularly, i'm sure you'll love that. i also read the finacial times. however i must say that your best source in you list is the daily show.
anyway, i believe and hope this is the last post by anyone other then you on this thread.

In favour of idiocy? Yes, I love it too.

As for the Daily Show, don't you realise they're making fun of people like you?

yes i do realize th Daily show makes jokes at the Republicans' expense. So? i dont care. Its humour. I find it humourous...just as you guys should have since i listed it as a "news source". Well dont let your frothing hatred of conservatives eat you people lalive
anyone have a legitimate list of news sources they peruse?

I don't have a frothing hatred of conservatives. I have a frothing hatred of stupid conservatives, and I don't care to discuss my reading habits with them.

My list:

Babble!
This Hour Has 22 Minutes
The Guardian
Indynews
The Halifax Herald (for local stuff)
Marketplace (the only investigative reporting on Canadian TV, as near as I can tell)
The Daily Show
CBC Newsworld Morning (is that the name? before work stuff)
GNN (taken with a grain of salt, usually)
The Amazing Race (when will Ian lose?)

Some of this is a joke, but not all of it. I leave it to you, the intrepid reader, to separate fact from fiction.

I use Babble, the National Post Web Forums, CNN.com, CTV News Net, CablePulse 24, DrudgeReport.com, fark.com, boingboing.net, cbc.ca, 680 News, snopes.com...

And I try to eavesdrop on subway conversations when I can.
