The OP is trolling, and is simply looking for someone to name a source, so he can attack it.

Couric was trolling, just like the OP is in this thread.
In other words, you can't answer the VERY simple question of, where do you get your news.

Hilarious! No one can answer that VERY simple question. Per usual, cons prove themselves to be without credibility & a total waste of time.

And/or, confirms what they already believe.

Gotta say, I'm surprised OP.
I would have thought that at least a couple of people would have supplied their sources if for no other reason than to provide us "non-believers" with some evidence to help us see the light and error of our ways.




Anyhoo, Slate has taken to compiling the big stories from the most likely sources.
It is fascinating to see how differently information is, ahem, presented.

What a bunch of crybaby snowflakes. All the big, brave conservative chest-thumpers are afraid to say where they get their news about world events because those mean, nasty libruls might tease them and make them cry.

Jesus. You people...

You dems are mad because your precious CNN, WaPo, and the NYT have been proven beyond any doubt to have lost almost all of their credibility, so you now want to try to attack the sources of the people that have been proving you wrong for the last two years.

It's fun to watch you dems meltdown over not getting to troll.

I'd say the one trolling is the one who can't provide an answer to a very simple question.

I don't think NYT has ever really backed down from being obviously "left"--I mean the presence of Krugman's column should cement that pretty easily. WaPo has just been scattershot over the last several years... I'm not sure if Bezos' acquisition is related but it seems like there is no specific bias, just all over the place (and I don't mean "no bias", just seemingly random).

This is why I try to read the same subject on multiple sites. It's suspicious when it shows up only on one flavor of media.

I provide my sources many times. Just yesterday I posted a link to my source when I was talking about how the CIA infiltrated the mainstream media in the US to control what was being reported (in this case it was wikipedia, and a Senate Select Committee report).

Do you want to attack a Senate Select Committee report, no, you are hoping someone will say Fox News, or Breitbart, or fingers crossed, InfoWars.

You dems are here to troll, it's obvious to everyone, we all see right through these childish attempts.

I mean it, it's honestly fun watching the dems in this thread throw temper tantrums because nobody will take their trolling bait.

The idiot coud not even think of the name of a single newspaper or magazine, because she had never read one in her life. Looks like we have a whole thread full of the same kind of willfully ignorant conservatives.
Sure, dude.

Sarah Palin could spot a trap. She knew this was a trap. She wasn't about to step in it. And we all know how honest and fair Katie Couric is. <sarcasm>

BBC and drudgereport are okay and kind of in the middle, but I get most of my news from...
CITYDATA (specifically P&oC)

One side says something, the other side screams at them and calls names and 3 or so screens in you have the whole picture from both sides.

Let me put it to you this way: I don't trust "Morning Joke," who is an ass, or his mistress Mika whoever she is. Rachel "Madcow" is so hysterical and animated and can't even say Trump's name in a sentence without including "liar," "Nazi," "white supremacist," "racist," etc. I just can't watch, let alone believe anything she says. She is totally unhinged and probably has a few screws loose. Wolf(man) Blitzer just gives me the creeps, and makes things up on the fly. They all lie, all the time, and it's not like they haven't been caught. Anderson Cooper (or Pooper) is a clown. None of these people ever display real intelligence. They don't smile, they just look dumb, while they parrot the approved "talking points" from the Party. Trump is just bad, "he's unfit," (they keep repeating), he's "unintelligent," a "failure" (though he's been in office just over six months), they don't like his staff, they don't like his cabinet picks, they don't like anything. They have nothing good to say.

Why would I want to listen to that crap?

Trump is a huge improvement from the wannabe King/dictator that Barack Obama was, and he has to deal with the mess Obama left, and the Democrat Party which has become just a joke.

Just exactly what is wrong with you people, that you would consider such an innocent question to be some kind of "trap"? Face it - the only two reasons y'all don't have the balls to admit where you get your news is because A) you hardly ever bother paying attention to the news, and B) because when you do pay attention, it's from a source that even you know is complete crap.

I don't blame you people for being ashamed to admit it. If I were so intellectually lazy as to allow myself to be willfuly ignorant, I'd be ashamed too.
