I thought it might be interesting to see where the group gets their news from. I’m not interested in vague responses (the tv, the internet, google etc).

I’d like specific sources

I think it’s fascinating to hear the many diverse opinions we have here in the forum, and I can’t help but think that many of those are based on where we get our news from.

I’ll go first. I get my main news fix from: the Globe and Mail, The Economist and The NY Times. I also have My Bloomberg screen running in the background all day

Go ….

all of them... makes comparison and bias much easier.

I know you didn't want general answers, Brian, but I go to Google News every day to grab my news.

I do have a NYT subscription but that's only so I'm able to read the articles that pop up via Google News; I don't visit the site independently.

This.

On the phone/computer, AP News or Reuters. I've got Flipboard but I don't use it as much as I used to.

In print, WSJ and USA Today. I know USA today gets a lot of flack, but it's a quick easy read and covers the basics pretty well.

On TV, ESPN and Weather Channel. We don't ever watch news on TV except for maybe local if there's a big story (rare). We blocked all the other news channels, they are all pretty much garbage.

Interesting to hear USA Today. As a newspaper guy, I always appreciated the format for the reasons you just mentioned. A great way to read the headlines

Back in the eighties when I was working and on the road for biz a lot it was a good read. Today, garbage, the sports section is a total joke, I know everyone gets their updates via their stupid phones, LOL !

Apple news with a subscription so I get more sources

I prefer to gather my own information and never let one source "read" to me.

I had no idea Apple News + subscription included so many publications inside. I’m paying for WSJ individually. Will definitely switch over now.

I always brushed over the Apple News subscription in the past.

The magazines alone are worth the subscription and the other sources are wide and varied.

Nothing reads to me, which is why I use the sources as above. They provide some diversity of opinion to say the least

Within Apple News, you don’t find yourself gravitating to one or two sources over the others?

No, because I am a very analytical curious person. I want as many sources as I can get to give me as much information as I can get before I form any kind of opinion. It also explains why i ask so many questions here and why I get so few answers. But I am used to it.

When TV news was taken over by their entertainment departments, they signaled what they are, so I never watch them. In fact if I walk in somewhere that they are on, I leave the room.

I get feeds from New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Atlantic, BBC, Guardian, ProPublica, Vice, MacLeans, Intercept, Aeon, Vox, Axios, a few others, and feeds from New Atlas and Pocket.

I see you use News Atlas quite often. I must have a closer look into them. Do you know if they are independent?

It's more of a new inventions/trends kind of thing than "news". It's New Atlas if you're googling it not News Atlas.

Pocket is more of a news feed.

One of my other ones is National Geographic.

I’m on about 12 years now of not missing a single day of the Wall Street Journal. That’s first in the morning, followed by Washington Post and NYT (occasionally).

Obviously also lean on TRF “Open Discussion” for information

Unfortunately most sources now try to "out Onion" the Onion.

In 2022 the most honest news source is the News Corp family of companies (NY Post, Fox News, WSJ, etc.) In the past, other mainstream news had more credibility and more independence from corporate and government interests.

JParm · 7 October 2022, 03:04 AM

TRF is also a good news source...with commentary to boot!
