CNN, Fox News and MSNBC online or TV when I get the chance.
I read the Boston Globe and Boston Herald most mornings of the week as well. Sometimes I'll read the NY Times, depends on the day though.

I listen to an NPR stream in my office at work. It has some BBC stuff on it. For local news, I go to the "alternative" newspaper called the OKC Gazette. The sponsors are smaller and it's not so tainted with editorials trying to convince us that giving handouts to corporations (probably advertisers) is a smart thing.

I'll never forgive our local paper for the FRONT PAGE EDITORIALS they wrote in support of OKC taxpayers paying for Bass Pro Shops to open a store in our entertainment district. Coincidentally, the owner of the paper had (he's dead now) a 1/3 stake in Bass Pro.

And the people of the city fell for it hook, line, and sinker (pun intended).

Someone told me that if you really wanted to know about what was going on in the world do not refer to US media....

Someone is wrong...

I'd like to know why.

--I read the news from all over the world, and I would argue that the best reputable news is American.
