No PBS? Or Daily Show/Colbert Report?
For shame!
 
I think the Daily Show deserves it's own option, outside of 'other'.

Give me alittle credit - I included BBC (which is where I get mine)...

I feel bad that I forgot the Daily Show though.. is there a way I can edit?
 
I just watch the news on telelvision and talk to others at work about what ever the current topic of the day is. I work in the hospital so I usually meet some interesting people that always have things to talk about. 😀
 
Am I the only one always sitting in traffic? NPR!
 
I guess I'm pretty lame since I don't watch CNN. :laugh:

I'll give you a lot of credit. I'm a huge news/crack junkie; your list is pretty comprehensive.
(if you can edit it, include a blog entry for things like daily kos)
 
E!news live

j/k i watch a mix of CSPAN, CSPAN2, CNN, Fox, IRB-1, Mosaic on current, BCC, random foreign news broadcasts & read online pages for BCC, BCC farsi, IRNA, reuters alert net, NYTimes, Post

i'm a news junkie
 
Well I can't figure out how to do it, but mods, could you add a choice for The Daily Show, Various Blogs, and PBS?

I would 😍 you forever!
 
You can't edit poll options once the poll goes live (by you, I mean we). That said, I voted "online news sites" - meaning political blogs. TV News isn't really news. Hasn't been for a while.
 
The one and only Fox News. 👍

bbas? don't you mean bIas? haha jk (...well sort of)
 
I love this poll!! rock on!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 ah yes I get my news from the BBC......would you like a cup of tea? cheerio!
 
NYT junkie (although mostly for the crossword!)
"News Hour" on PBS.
 
i grew up watching dan rather, and now i watch bob schieffer. there's something soothing about an old grandfather like person telling the news and adding his own 2 cents in every so often. also when i'm driving around late at night the BBC world service is on NPR. i like the completely different perspective on world events that it offers.
 
no drudgereport?

shame on you.
 
Sometimes I wish great bodily harm on Lou Dobbs.
 
news.bbc.co.uk is my pick for online.

the Economist for print.

i occasionally watch bill o'reilly for comedic value. the mutual hatred between him and keith olbermann (msnbc) is also really entertaining.
 
daily show/colbert report... NPR, yahoo front page, occassionally cnn.com.

LOL. I won't deny the existing bias, but I think that all the major news channels are biased to some degree.
 
Primarily the Daily Show 😀

I wish it were in the poll so we could see exactly how much butt it would be kicking! Alas.
 
Lou Dobbs is to obsessed with illegal immigration, he deserves a good ass-kicking. I watch CNN, Daily show, Colbert Report, and read the Washington Post with some Wall Street Journal.
 
My homepage is set to Google News. Also, I use Safari's RSS aggregator to get the latest headlines at NY Times, Washington Post, BBC News, and a few others.
 
NPR. I started listening when I discovered that rap music makes me angry.
 
I watch Headline News once a day, I get the Washington Post everyday (live in DC,) and I check out msnbc.com a few times a day oh and I watch the Daily Show and Colbert Report (you definatly should have had those as one of the choices.)

rap gives me road rage & NPR makes me doze off, plus I always get SNL images in my head
 
ESPN News & Fox News: Fair & Balanced...
 
Sugar packets and bar napkins.
