After some discussions in this forum about what news we follow and why, I got to wondering whether true most who comment in this forum prefer Fox News. Thought maybe a poll like this one would shed some better light on that notion...

Please choose and/or provide what source of news you follow most often and why. Thanks!

I don't follow any one news source. When something's reported, I take the information and fact check it for myself, regardless of the source. After all, even broken clocks are right twice a day.

MSNBC, CNN, and NPR is about all I watch/listen to. They seem to be the most honest.

You left off print news: we read the local paper, L.A Times and sometimes the WSJ We also watch CBS news. As you can see, we do not depend on one source only.

HAPA that is why you are so biased in your political views. No one source is all right or all wrong. A cross section give you an intelligent over view.

When i watch the news, i do Fox News.

but I have to turn it off when it turns disgusting like when there is too much toxic news on there or when the usual haters start spewing their crap and haterade against the President and other things.

I then turn on something else.

I actually like the Chicago local Fox News actually. I go between Chicago's NBC News and Fox in Chicago.

What?

How does something get reported to you? On the radio? What station? On TV? What network? A paper? Which one...

Surely you have a "go to" source when you want to learn what's going on. Don't you? What are they? Which ones?

I too follow multiple news sites every morning. About as many as there are choices in this poll. You don't get news from any of these?
