What do you ATS members use for your news network? Just curious =D

This is just another one of my rants and I'm just wondering what are news preferences for the members here, I know a lot of people watch CNN or FOX, but I really do not trust either network because I feel like all they do is feed us bias that we know are just plain load of crap. Besides that, my preference is AlJazeera, I think their articles are pretty solid, they have some biases, however, I am just curious what other news networks people listen to.

Hope everyone has a kick ass July 4th! =D

I would have to say that the Onion network is by far the best

The Onion

At least they are up front when it comes to nonsense.





More on topic though, I do not have a preference. I normally compare every source that I can find that carries a story and compare the lies before drawing a line around where I believe the truth lies.

Who uses just one? Drudge, Al Jazera, People's Daily Online, FARK(for fun), Infowars, Fox online, MSNBC online, and several others.

I typically scan all of these channels on one site:

Hit the 'English' link at the top of the page.

As a medical student I would have to agree with this post, majority of Alzheimer's does go misdiagnosed, I have no idea why anyone is keeping this a secret.

My daily pablum is the local TV news..they are worthless as far as world news (alerted them to a train wreck in Reno and they have yet to air anything )That said I listen to short wave radio..I have a long wire antenna..stations come in from all over the world at nite . .
I an surprised by the amount of news I find here on ATS..lots of people are hunting news and posting on here.
Study hard and be well friend

As for TV I watch the midnight news on ABC because I have a crush on Cynthia McFadden. Otherwise I only turn on the TV for 5 minutes in the morning to see the weather and make sure the world didn't end.

Daily headlines on drudge.

News networks... main stream.... alternative... watch them all and fill in the blanks.

No one story tells all truth in the media due to bias one way or the other. I suggest getting all sides to stay informed based upon theory. That my friend, is what we the people have to work with. That also, is why conspiracy runs amuck.

We will never have absolute unbiased truth until such time comes that human nature can be bypassed and set aside.

The BBC, ABC Channel 4 and RT.....Its interesting to see how they all put a different spin on things.

I had a feeling that it was you who posted this. Quite the curious creature, aren’t you? Always asking questions…but that’s cool. That’s how we learn.

But you may want to rephrase how you go about it. While honesty is the best policy, people come here to discuss their viewpoint on a multitude of topics and do not want their identities known.

Those with a IT, hacker or investigative background can deduce over time, the identity of posters.

Many may not want that.

It's a well known satirical website.

The Onion is an American news satire organization. It is an entertainment newspaper and a website featuring satirical articles reporting on international, national, and local news

(Source)

I've been reading Los Angeles Times lately, and it's ok for me. I particularly like the Los Angeles Times / World / Europe section www.latimes.com... more than any other local (in Europe terms) section. It's quite distant in view and deep in info and I like that.

I watch CNN-Int too from time to time. And SpaceWeather.com on daily basis.

Most days I check the following sites several times

Slashdot News for nerds, stuff that matters
2600 The Hacker Quarterly
DRUDGE REPORT 2011®
Cryptome
Giveaway of the Day
COAST TO COAST AM WITH GEORGE NOORY
The Blaze
Rush Limbaugh Home Page
Sean Hannity
WikiLeaks
OpenLeaks
Twitter - WikiLeaks

For fun

MonkeyBusinessBlog
The Onion - America's Finest News Source
You Tube

Lately

Twitter - #AntiSec
Twitter - YourAnonNews

HackerLeaks
Your Anon News

Sometimes foreign TV via internet (BBC News 24, Sky News Live, Al Jazeera English and 9 News Australia)


My number one place to get news or get pointed to news is

AboveTopSecret.com Conspiracy Theories, UFOs, Politics, and Many Other Alternative Topics

Preference is if local sources when looking to get to the bottom of a story.

Hey, I do that too.
Plus I wake up and come on here to make sure California still exists.
One day... one day...

Sky News

The only news channel I'll trust for unbiased reporting of both sides.

I get all my news from the Internet or private Bloomberg terminal (for financial info). TV news is worthless. It is an inefficient way to gain info (internet is faster) and it plays on emotions and linguistic manipulation more than print news. Turn it off.

Here are the basics:

www.bloomberg.com...

www.stratfor.com...
