The credibility one source of news isn’t always what you need or should have these days.
AksarbeN, I actually use multiple sources also. I should have taken that into consideration when I designed the poll. Thanks for pointing this out.

If there is a major happening, I tune to a news channel, but otherwise I steer clear of them. The way news is often presented hits me wrong, so I rarely watch local news. I notice what is in my daily newspaper. I detest how some people think they must put their personal political view in places having nothing to do with politics.

Interesting to see the global take on things.

My favorite way is the newspaper but most of the news I get is right here on this interwebby thing.

Convenience factor.

I used to listen to the radio for news but I found that I'm in a better mood if I just crank on some good tunes.

I chose the internet. but through the internet I find news papers from virtually every major city. I like to select several sources as I feel every form of media is biased, although unintentionally.

I try to find opposing and conflicting views of every story and try to evaluate which comes closest to the probable truth.

I do not believe any news story is 100% true, but some media may come closer than others.

Internet.

I feel bad for the kids at the supermarket trying to earn money by selling newspaper subscriptions.

CNN is by far my favorite, CNN International needs some work though.
I highly dislike having to watch streams online from some random foreign network to catch up on events going on outside the country.... such horrible quality, its like i'm watching a news station from the 90s.
