Where do you get your news from?
I was chatting with a conservative Republican friend about news today. He gets all his news from Fox so I asked him why he doesn't broaden his horizons and try other news sources too. Well, he said all the other sources are controlled by the DNC! I thought I was going to die, I was laughing so hard!

Well I get my news from too many sources to list them all. Here are the top ones:
CNN
NY Times
TIME
Google
Yahoo
Drudge Report

and my favorite fake news is John Stewart's Daily Show.

How about you?

2. Shortwave Radio and the internet.
I seriously doubt the BBC and R. Nederlands is "controlled by the DNC"...

Did you ask him how that was worse than news controlled by the RNC?

5. He claims its not
whenever Fox news is on he just says "wow this is sooooo Republican" in a sarcastic way.

3. Chicago Tribune.
Yahoo.

Newsweek.

I'm trying to kick the CNN habit. I'm really to dislike Wolf Blitzer and the rest of the on-air talent (also Anderson Cooper, who's getting to be full of himself.)

10. The Globe and Mail is an excellent paper.
I particularly like Rick Salutin's column.
