Where do you hear most of your news?
All over the internet. I do MSM sites like BBC and blogs like Huffington.
Do you read it in a printed newspaper?
I read the San Jose Mercury News for years. I discontinued my subscription after the paper was bought from Knight-Ridder. The acquisition was highly unethical and the quality of the paper has gone downhill.
Do you tune in to a particular TV news show?
Democracy Now! Sometimes Olbermann, but mostly just for the diatribes.
Do you listen to the news on the radio?
Yes, I listen to the KPFA Morning Show in the mornings before work.
Maybe you hear all you need from frends?
Nah. I get history from friends, though. Former member Host is a wellspring of information that rivals wikipedia in volume and any major publication on quality.
What are your favorite mainstream news websites?
BBC, Al Jazeera, AP.
What are your favorite alternative news websites?
Huffington, Kos, Democracy Now!, etc.
Do you find any that are particularly good for international news vs domestic news?
BBC is pretty reliable for international as far as MSM outlets go, it's nowhere near as corrupt or partisan as it's American cousins. Deutsche Welle is really good, actually, for international news. I get domestic news from too many places to name just a few as particularly good.
