I used to have about 75 tabs open at one time every night, to scan the news from every mainstream (cnn, the drudge report etc) news source i could find.

But lately ive only been going to digg.com and reddit.com


Just lookin for somethin new, reddit is like the second coming of christ might i add.

scary, at times but in the end its mainly good Very Happy

@panzade,
Simon, oh yeah, that winking!

Think there's something else we need to know?

No, didn't think so.

@OGIONIK,
I mainly get mine from Australia's Radio National.

A bit from the terrible local rag, which sits on the lunch table.

National Public Radio (NPR) provides me with most of the news I feel I need to know. (As I type this, I'm listening to NPR news being streamed online from my favorite radio station back home in Boston -- WGBH-FM. Weird to look at the clock and see that it's only 1:10 p.m. here; why do they keep saying that Obama and Cheney made speeches late this afternoon?) But I also scan two or three or more printed newspapers daily (either real papers or online) and watch newscasts on MSNBC and CNN. I eschew blogs.

@OGIONIK,
I don't get news from A2k. Most of my news comes from CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) radio. It is somewhat similar to NPR, but (being totally biased), I think the musical offerings through the 3 CBC networks are far far better than what's available through NPR - and of course new music is as important as news.

@Merry Andrew,
I'm an NPR fan as well. I also skim my local newspaper cover to cover (and read the comics all the way through.)

First thing when I log in, I read the comics (Boffo, Alley Oop, Gasoline Alley). Then Google News, online Houston Chronicle, MSNBC, sometimes BBC and Drudge. Later on, Yahoo news, when I check my mail.

@Region Philbis,
But he doesn't need a Weatherman to tell which way the wind blows ...

Okay, seriously, CNN, boston.com (the Globe online), plus in print the NY Times and Globe.

Agreed. The absolute unimpeachable source. What would we do without the wit and wisdom of ol' Gunga?
