Topic says all. What are your primary news sources? Mine are: From the Wilderness, my areas newspaper, MSNBC, and Daily Kos.

Countdown with Keith Olbermann, the NewsHour, Air America, and NBC on the weekends (with fellow Nashvillian John Seigenthaler). Every once in awhile now, I will listen to NPR. I just think that they are trying WAY too hard to be centrist these days. I want to the old, unapologetic liberal NPR back. Perhaps, in a future Democratic Administration. We can only hope.

Strictly NYT in print though with a severely jaundiced eye. Anyone got medicated eye drops?

I skip around between MSNBC and CNN, depending on who's on, and I used to watch ABC Nightly News with Peter Jennings. Don't like any of the current anchors on the big three.

I try to listen to Air America, but in my area, I go in and out of it as I'm driving around. Do listen to NPR.

In print, Time magazine and Newsweek, ocassionally the NYTimes, especially on Sundays, although the puzzles aren't anywhere near as good as they used to be.

Today on television it would be The News Hour With Jim Lehrer or the BBC on PBS. I believe Frontline on PBS is the best investigative journalism show out there, they had a most excellent program last night about how we ended up in a war with Iraq based on lies and cooked intelligence led by Cheney/Rumsfield and their office of special plans, it was titled something like Cheney and the Dark Side.

I used to be an avid viewer of all the network news flipping from station to station as they telecast every night like clockwork. I started becoming disenchanted with them over the past 10 years as they quit reporting the actual news and went for entertainment instead, only to be broken up by endless commercials. I quit watching them all together when they started spewing talking points straight from the RNC and waged their "War Against Gore" as is well docmented at the Daily Howler website. I lost all respect for corporate owned news then and anything they say, I now take with a grain of salt the size of a beach ball.

Jim Lehrer is excellent, Uncle Joe. Forgot to add him.

Basically, I just flip around and keep in mind the bias of each channel, and put it all together in a way that makes sense to me.

I forgot. The Nation and McLaughlin Group.

Frontline is a national treasure. I saw it last night. Cheney and Rummy are evil Machivellians who will work to continue this maniacal foreign policy if we don't win in '08! How much can people get away with under the so-called banner of "Republican"?

No matter what your source both Media Matters and the Daily Howler should be required reading.

Oh, yes! I forgot.. I'm a The Nation subscriber too! Guardian also is a pretty solid source of news.

And James, yeah, Media Matters is good, I go there sometimes, but don't consider them a primary news source. Where do you get most of your news?

I really suggest all you guys check out From the Wilderness. I don't buy the conspiracy theory stuff on the site, but it has some very good investigative reporting.

I rarely turn on the tv for news, perhaps once a week and watch a bit of CNN. I usually get it from the net..Buzzflash, Yahoo (for the headlines) Kos, Talkleft, CounterPunch...though I did watch a bit of Keith Olberman today.

I don't use them as a primary source but they are valuable fact check. My primary sources are varied. Everything from the BBC to the Huffington Post to this board.

Yeah, I have a very hard time watching CNN or pretty much anything on MSNBC other than Keith Olbermann... The media is supposed to be a watchdog; it failed miserably leading up to the Iraq War.

I'll give you guys some examples... When Cheney repeatedly made the lie that al Qaeda was linked to 9/11, why didn't CNN have headlines like "No Link between Bin Laden and Iraq"? When it finally became undoubtably clear the uranium claim was a lie, why wasn't the top headline on CNN or MSNBC "British Nuclear evidence a Fraud"? Or on the high-strength aluminum tubes claim, why weren't the headlines something like "Top Nuclear Scientists doubt WMD Claim"?

Several different places, CNN, ABC, local news, Media Matters, Yahoo News, local newspapers and of course right here at AGSC.
