At the end of the day, all news
agencies are trying to make a buck, which means they're selling interest
in products or view, which lead back to product via some level of
marketing. They tell you what you want to hear, usually varying for
the pitch, but the idea is to hook you long enough to push a commercial
that results in a sale for a vendor of theirs. They exist to track
you, as their ancient business model mandates such behavior.
Technology to resist scare them.
Beauty of the internet, is via various privacy modes in browsers,
plugins, and simple os security you *can* mitigate most invasions, even
casual (and taken for granted, ahem facebook) ones today. Browsers
traditionally have been the worst in giving up privacy (thanks
microsoft), but noscript alone does wonders, as do other plugins
mentioned to halt marketing/tracking nonsense. Good thing some
decent humans create plugins against corporate greed mongering and/or
stupidity.
RSS scraping/aggregating also speeds up perusal significantly hitting a
_lot_ of content/news each day without the ads as you really don't care
about 20x banners per 40 different "omg iphone" stories across
various different sites you'll hit a day. Your data provider
probably appreciates a lot less downloaded temporary crap too, especially
on mobile when you're taxed per gb. I use greader on my phone to
read the news, synch realtime to google reader, and finish or review news
later from my desktop. Splendid setup actually, highly
recommended. If your bullshit meter goes off with a feed, replace
them.
I get as much or as little news as I want across a lot of material this
way. I'm pretty rarely caught unknowing about most major happenings
I actually care to know about.

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?

I have the same issues so look
at multiple source (none in print) but
I've been using BBC of late for real life news even though that
doesn't get a lot of stateside or local coverage. I don't think the
question was about tech news.

Which news sources (print
and/or internet) do y'all prefer?
I'm fed up with *all* media
sources ... with all of the bias
(both ways),
spin, distortion,
inflammation, exaggeration, ambulance chasing
sensationalizing, and overdone
visual graphics.
Haven't subscribed to any
print media for more than 20 years,
but used to
scan the USA Today headlines
online; however, since they just
changed
their format to force an
excessive (imh) clutter of graphics
on us, it is
no longer a viable option for
me.
Are there any online news
headline sources that are not
radical, liberal,
left-wing, extremist, fanatic,
spinmeisters? ... or (almost as
bad)
extreme
right-wingers?
I've tried all those listed at
this link and found nothing
that seems
reasonably "fair and
balanced" ... and most of all *efficient*
without
excessive clutter.
