There are many ways to keep up with the news of the world. How do you like to stay current. Pick the one you couldn't due without. Add a reply if you favor another or a specific venue.

I voted TV but listen to the news on the radio when traveling.

I picked TV too, because it's on most of the day tuned to CNN or MSNBC, but I also use daily print media and the Internet. Can't say which one is most reliable, really.

I picked the daily print media because I attempt to read a minimum of two major newspapers daily. Additionally, I usually listen to at least an hour of news on television and get a good deal of information from the internet. I feel that to be informed, one has to depend on a variety of sources for news.

I don't watch TV. Sometimes I turn it on in the morning, so while sipping coffee, I can see weather forecast (like that could do any good).
In last few years I noticed political news in US badly "influenced". When I want to hear some real news, usually London is quite objective. Than I check Polish sites, sometimes Russian Pravda will give you "view from other site".
Even the biggest propaganda has to depend on facts. Reading facts between slogans is something, that can be trained.

The morning paper first - then the internet for chosen other cities on line version, and finally the night national news stories.

Internet, though not drudge in particular but Google News in general. For commentary RealPolitics which gets you to WSJ, NRO, Townhall, Reason, TCS.
Politics is the art of achieving the maximum amount of freedom for individuals that is consistent with the maintenance of social order.

Get the message?
I picked the Internet, I get the headlines from the papers and several news agencies sent to my e-mail address and I pick and choose which ones to read. I usually end up reading most of it.

For the most important news, I use my dogs for accurate and unbiased reporting. They report the presents of loose dogs in the neighborhood, people taking walks near our house, the mail being delivered, lawns being mowed, meters being read, and when my wife comes home from work and she is within two blocks of the house. God forbid someone knocks on the door or leave fliers on the porch. Oh, and lets not forget the neighbors cat sitting on the fence. What more do I really need to know! :cool:

Its not possible to underestimate the intelligence of the voting populous.

Hummm, after seeing the results of the 06 election, I may have to modify my perception of the voting populous and refer to them as "Late Bloomers".

I only watch tv news for entertainment. I try to visit a variety of blogs and internet news sites for a variety of views.

I never read print newspapers but will read their online addition.

Radio while driving. never turn a TV on before 9:00 p.m. and news sources there are not reliable in my estimation.

Some internet sites like WND as well as Drudge.

I voted print media since I spend more time reading the papers than I do actively acquiring news from any other source. Number two for me would have to be radio, number three would be the internet and number four would be TV since I only watch a few meinutes of TV per day at most just to pick up some local news.
