Where do you get your news
 
I was kinda woundering where the majority of you get your news. I hate the 24 Hour news stations.

All of the above.

Washington Post, Slashdot, Reuters, NPR, Penny-Arcade, whatever news channel.

Just a little FYI, if CNN's website ever gets bogged-down (Like on 9/11) the "Back-Door" into the site is robots.cnn.com

Weekly World News... did you know that there's a half human, half bat boy out there? And they've spotted bigfoot and the lochness monster (probably having tea together), and in transylvania, there's a transvestite vampire causing a stir... yep, all the news one needs to hear...

But other than that, I usually scan the headlines of the Washington Post on-line (oh, and I read the funnies).

local newspapers for reading during breakfast when i'm not awake enough to read beyond the 4th or 5th grade level, online stuff when i get home from school :p

two good sites are http://slashdot.org (nerd news only :D) and www.drudgereport.com for anything and everything (i see stuff on here at least a day or two before my local paper).

The Daily Show....

Yeah...I wait for people to tell me whats going on. I normally hate the news. Since when is there anything uplifting in the news? (You don't hear too much about the boy that saves his family...just the one that kills them all) I really don't need more depressing crap to think about :)

The Man Show

ziggy, zoggy, ziggy, zoggy, hoy, hoy, hoy, ziggy, zoggy, ziggy, zoggy, hoy, hoy, hoy!

what can be better than a show where it gives people all the info they want to hear on stuff they like. plus the segment at the very end is pretty funny also.

I love the daily show.

Also, I second www.drudgereport.com - it's a great independent news site that reports on important things, but not necesarily mainstream or 'pop culture' things. And like ian said before, a lot of it is there before it is in the mainstream news.

The Daily Show for television.
The Onion for interweb.
