Where do you guys get your news?

The News Hour delivers NEWS with professionalism and substance. The fact that they are partly subsidized by tax payers, and therefore have an obligation to be content-driven, rather than ratings-driven, I find to be a great breath of fresh air compared to the show-boating of Keith Olberman, Rachel Maddow, Glen Beck, Jon Stewart, and pretty much everyone else. Plus, visually, the production standards for PBS News are the best in the business. The graphics, charts, set, etc are just about pitch perfect for what one would expect from a news source directed at mature people.

I kid because I care.

I was reared on the program, back when it was MacNeil/Lehrer, so I respect it for sure, but I simply don't watch tv news anymore. I watch cnbc for about an hour a day, but that's about it.

Drudge Report used to be one of the most neutral and unbiased news aggregators, but in the past two years it's taken a decidedly right-sided view. Very disappointing.

I think you overstate his neutral past. Drudge has always given the news from a conservative perspective, more or less.

You are a poor man's Matt Drudge.

Drudge has ALWAYS leaned to the right.

His jab must have landed; it seems you're still smarting days later.

I usually read USA Today during lunchtime, then read the DNews when I get home.

Thanks for telling Triple Dad how he feels.

This is the only publication I read in hard-copy and online every week (not the same stories, silly).

I get the DesNews and the Tribune delivered daily. I also get my news from CNN.com and CNN. I will pick up a USA Today on Fridays. I get the Economist magazine every week as well.

I used to get the Washington Post, but no longer though I still love that paper.

The New York Times is liberal, but it's articles are usually very well written. The bias is there, so try and balance it a little.

I also use

www.cnn.com for breaking news.

ER I think you'd be a fan of Google's Reader. It's free if you have gmail and you can subscribe to (which to reader just means choose, you're aren't actually subscribing to the magazines) as many different websites as you want. Again, all free. Each day your reader grabs the top stories from any site you've chosen, you can star the ones that look interesting and it puts those in a separate folder for you. It's the best way to get the news that I can imagine and you can subscribe to sites from all over the political spectrum. I've been addicted to it for quite some time now.

I agree with SteelBlue, I usually get my news from various websites/blogs and reader is a convenient one stop shop.

The News Hour on PBS is by far the best source of news that I have found from an American news agency.

All of the news programs on PBS are good. For straight news, nothing beat The News Hour. For analysis, Gwen Ifill is good with Washington Week.

For analysis with a liberal bias, nobody does it better than Bill Moyers on his program Bill Moyer's Journal. Moyers is definitely a liberal, but he is quick to take down Democrats when there is hypocrisy, and he does this often. Moyers is especially against the dangers of influence pedaling to our democratic republic. I was pleased when he did a nice piece on Jeff Flake, holding him up to be a hero fighting against the corrupting force of influence pedaling.

PBS is the bomb when it comes to news. Free, high definition, smart, analytical, and commercial free.

And thanks to taxpayer funding, it stays on the air. If it were based on viewership, it would have died years ago. But it's nice to see taxpayers pay for liberal slants on news.

I jump around, but I confess I hit cnn.com a lot. I still like reading a real newspaper. I read two locals daily, and the WSJ fairly often. And I admit I quite like USA Today, and read it four times or so during the week. It provides my only hope of keeping abreast of all the pop culture references here and elsewhere.

USAToday because they keep their stories pretty concise.
