Where do you get your news from?

Where do you get your news input from?

I am probably over dependent on online BBC sources, I don't get a newspaper daily or on the weekend.

Where do you get your news?

 

[Argonia]

BBC

 

[wemakeyousoundb]

bbc, guardian, sky, le monde, nytimes, al jazeera, liberation, others.

I was given cause to think the other week when a 70 year old neighbour explained how she'd never sent a text let alone used the Internet ...
I'm 10 years younger and grew up without TV and for periods of time tolerated the Today programme on radio 4.
I get claustrophobia at the thought of those times ..

I tend to rely on Urban to keep me informed and various Facebook groups and Youtubers to flesh things out ... I'm repeatedly horrified when I see the level of shite put out by mainstream media ...

 

[editor]

Here, BBC, Guardian, RSS newsfeeds from multiple sources, Facebook (although that's usually loon bollocks) and Twitter

 

[cupid_stunt]

Al-sorts of newspaper sites via google searches.

TV news - Sky, followed by the BBC & C-4, then Al Jazeera & CNN.

I certainly don't go to RT, YouTube, Twitter & Facebook for news, those sources can turn you into a complete loon.

 

[maomao]

Here a lot of the time. Not because I think it's a great source but I just can't take TV news anymore, I haven't time to roam the internet and who the fuck buys papers?

 

[Thora]

Buzzfeed mostly.

 

[Pickman's model]

I have other people read the news on my behalf and sift the important from the chaff, and then post the chaff here

 

[gentlegreen]

I suppose I have a few news sources that seem respectable and whose word i generally take - Doubledown, Novara, etc.. and a few particular Youtubers, but I hope I'm resonably adept at cutting through to what matters ... I find hostile sources to be useful ...

I'm 60 years old and I don't need to hear "both sides" any more ...

 

[Thora]

I also watch the Daily Show on Instagram and read celeb gossip on Daily Mail website so it’s not just Buzzfeed.

Do you have a chief chaff?

 

[a_chap]

Where do you get your news input from?

Here, of course.

 

[Sprocket.]

BBC online, Guardian online, here and my mate Ralph.

 

[weltweit]

MSN loads when I load Edge. On occasion there is something interesting there.

 

[Argonia]

For some fucking reason I get notifications every day from the Daily Fail and have no idea how to turn them off.

They should have an unsubscribe link at the bottom.

At least that is best practice for such things.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

rarely buy a newspaper (although usually pick up the local free one which is edited highlights of the weekly paid for version)

tend to peruse the online versions of guardian, morning star, local (berkshire and s london) papers most days, and have a look at bbc website at lunch time. (with few illusions about where most of them are coming from)

usually have bbc on as background over breakfast, and channel 4 news if i'm home at the right time of an evening.

follow one or two (s london) micro news accounts on teh tweeter

 

[The39thStep]

Sunday Sport

 

[cupid_stunt]

Sunday Sport

Blimey, is that shite still being published?

 

[equationgirl]

Here, BBC, Guardian, Slate, New York Times. I don't watch the news unless it's something like the Dominic Cummings press conference, and I haven't bought a newspaper in ages.

 

[Supine]

A lot of the obvious places mentioned already. Plus DW News from Germany which is well written and gives a good perspective on things like brexshit. Also the Jakarta Post to keep up with goings on in Indonesia.

I often pick up an "I" for my neighbour and next to it on the stand is the Sunday Sport, the front page just seems a competition to see how many semi naked girls they can fit there. I would be embarrassed to buy it luckily my neighbour hasn't yet asked me to get it for him !!

 

[Argonia]

My neighbour gets the Scum delivered to her door. I have considered boycotting talking to her as a result.

 

[platinumsage]

Twitter mostly. There’s a nack to it but if you follow the right journos it’s better than going directly to the news organisation websites for most things.

 

[ElizabethofYork]

A bloke in the pub.

I used to like the 'i', but I've resisted buying a copy since the Daily Mail took it over.

that passed me by

mum-tat does the 'i' these days

i never really got the hang of it, or the full on independent - always struck me as an odd mix of trying to take a high moral tone without having anything it actually stood for

 

[oryx]

BBC website mostly.

Right wingers reckon it's too left wing and vice versa, so by my reasoning it must be relatively unbiased!

Emphasis on the word 'relatively'.
