How many of you check several news outlets daily?

I can't handle TV news any more, between the pace and the commercials. So I check several outlets online a few times a day to get different takes on stories and try to separate the reporting from the spins and commentaries. Just curious how many of you do that too.

I read most of the news online as I’m doing the exercise bike in the early morning. Can’t take the 24/7 Breathless Breaking Cable Noise Infotainment channels.

During the day, I hear NPR and occasionally read the NYT online. DU usually points me to good articles elsewhere.

They explain things clearly and have a lot of insight, and they’re funny as hell. They’re all phenomenal writers and I could never choose a favorite, but I have no idea how Evan Hurst is as perceptive and fast and prolific as he is about the Mueller Investigation. Whenever I can’t understand what the day’s bombshell means, I go to Wonketter as well as to DU.
