Being Informed: what news sources? (1 Viewer)

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Yeah, it started a couple of months ago. Half hour show at 7:30EST. Weekdays only. A little too liberal for me at times but their foreign coverage is always great.

I forgot about that. I used to like their original show and read articles of theirs, but now their articles seem to have a really heavy slant. It does always crack me up when some 110 pound hipster is sitting next to an isis guy though.

So looks like we should be reading the economist for sure and watching bbc.

As it turns out, Obama's birth certificate is a fake. Who knew?

The problem with the Economist is they tend to pile up on my desk and go stale pretty quickly. I love the content, but the sad fact of life at least for me is I don't have time to digest even half the content. It's like when my wife gave me her New Yorker a few days ago and recommended an article I should read. I'd have to take a day off work. One of the reasons I actually miss living in the big city where I had a 45 minute train commute each way. At least I always kept up on my reading and podcasts.

It's hard to tell when people are joking any more.

If you want to be really lazy yet entertained, CNN for left wing, Faux News for right wing and then decide which one is lying the least on the topic at hand.

Prison Planet, Infowars, Breitbart, Weekly World News, National Enquirer, Fox News, Washington Times, Pravda, and Donald Trump's twitter feed are all fantastic.

I would add ZeroHedge, Russia Today, and 911truthwakeupsheeple.biz

Definitely need a prioritized list of sections to read.  I do US and leaders first.  Then I'll cherry pick from europe, business, technology, etc.
