1. collage of sources
I read the NY Times and LA Times online, listen to NPR, various web sites, flip through CNN and MSNBC - but usually end up throwing a shoe at the tv. Read the Atlanta Constitution as I am laying it out for my dog to go on, and occassionally just to get my BP up - flip over to Faux News.

3. I tend to go to Buzzflash, the Guardian-UK, the L.A. Times,
the New York Times. And I make sure I listen to Air America and Sirius Left to ensure that I get a balanced view. I also check out Conservative websites because it pays to know what your foe is thinking. AgapePress and Baptist News let me know what my foe, the Religious Right, is thinking. They are a foe to good, life-affirming thinking. That's for sure. Findlaw is also good.

4. Mostly here and NPR...
Haven't had live TV for nearly ten years. So it's radio to and from work, and DU.

5. I turned my TV off 5 years ago, so I get all my news
on Yahoo News. After reading that, then I go here to the DU to get the truth.

That's all I need.

6. The World Weekly News
Seriously, isn't that about the same quality and accuracy of news as what I could get on CNN, Fox and MSNBC?

8. All sorts of fun places
Including three newspapers in the morning, DU, Yahoo News, and Diversity, Inc.

For fun, once a week, I watch 700 Club.

And if you want to have some serious fun, go to therightsociety.com. They are some fun people to get riled up. I would love if everyone took turns enraging their existence.
