Where do you get your news?

My main source is the Huffington Post, which pretty much covers everything. I enjoy their "World" section as well. (www.huffingtonpost.com)
Supplementary to this is a blog I follow called Pimpin Turtle (www.pimpinturtle.com). In the past I was into Alex Jones (www.infowars.com) but I have moved away from this in the past year or so. This site has some interesting stories, but I haven't been checking it regularly: (www.rumormillnews.com)
Watching television news/media is like pulling teeth for me, with the exception of the Daily Show and Colbert Report - if your willing to call that news (I do). I used to watch O'Reilly because I find him such a effin' joke, but I don't want to give him ratings anymore.
How about you guys?

I listen to Alex Jones and Jason Bermas' radio show. I used to listen to the BBC world service, but it's getting too ovbious the spin the foriegn office puts on their news. By association, listening to their radio shows I can go to the news articles they talk about, which is every mainsteam journalist scource there is.
It's not really news, but I do read history as well. For anyone that hasn't read it, read William Shirers "The rise and fall of the third reich." Despite what some people think, the events surrounding world war 2 still affect us today. This book may be fourty years old, but it explains so much that I was never, ever taught about Adolf Hitler/Stucklgruber, who financed him (Pro nazi King Edward, Prescott Bush, who later was convicted of treason in a coup against the USA by Smedley Butler.
My point to this, is a lot of the news today, such as Georgia attacking Russia, then having it spun as saying "Oh look the Russians are attacking Georgia!!" in big bold headlines at the same time of the Chinese olympics, later in the articles admitting that Georgia attacked first, lots of the news today is unconnected without learning about the history behind it, seeing how and where there is connections.

Google News, which is itself an amalgam of pretty much every news source there is.
I like GN because every single story is reported from literally hundreds of different news sources with nearly every conceivable spin.
-------------------- After one comes, through contact with it's administrators, no longer to cherish greatly the law as a remedy in abuses, then the bottle becomes a sovereign means of direct action. If you cannot throw it at least you can always drink out of it. - Ernest Hemingway If it is life that you feel you are missing I can tell you where to find it. In the law courts, in business, in government. There is nothing occurring in the streets. Nothing but a dumbshow composed of the helpless and the impotent. -Cormac MacCarthy He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus
