OT: Which news source(s) do you prefer?

[Derek Trotter]

I can't listen to any news on the radio here(Jellico, Tn) during the 
day.  None of the two or three fm stations available here do any news.  
I don't pay for the local crappy cable, so I can't watch it on the idiot 
box.  I check out the Drudge Report several times a day.  Then I'll take 
a look at the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mail, the Sun, the Register, 
the Jerusalem post and the Melbourne age. Sometimes I'll put on kfyi for 
news.  Then there is the news on channel 10 or 15.  If any of the others 
stream their news broadcasts please let me know.  If I want news and a 
bit of humor to go with it, fark.com is where I go.  Although it is 
available online, the financially troubled Arizona Republic doesn't 
appeal to me.

How's that?
