A mix of both sides to the story. Along with the investigative reporting sites.
Weight the evidence presented and come to a common sense conclusion, using the Constitution and past history as a guide to the truth.


The investigative reporting, weeds out the talking heads, just in it for a paycheck.

I read my local paper, the Boulder Daily Camera Boulder DailyCamera.com: Colorado, News, Business, Sports, Homes, Jobs, Cars & Information - Boulder Daily Camera every day. I read the Denver Post on Sundays. Colorado Breaking News, Sports, Weather, Traffic, Jobs - The Denver Post They are part of the same newspaper group. I read the Colorado Hometown Weekly Lafayette, Louisville, Erie, Superior, Colorado Breaking News, Sports, Weather, Traffic - Colorado Hometown Weekly, another paper of the same chain. I watch CNN/PBS/NBC every evening (one of them at least). I read the PBS website, and listen to PBS during the day. Colorado Public Radio tends to be pretty clueless; when the Arapahoe HS shooting occurred this fall, they kind of glossed over it at first. Sometimes I read the Huff Post, but I find it clumsy to use. I come here for entertainment.

Yeah...the political news in this country is pretty uninteresting 90% of the time.

Last time I thought politics was interesting was in the middle of the Clinton Administration. I checked out after that.

I hit the Drudge Report first, all news outlets actually get their news from them, they take the headlines and create the story.

I stay away from MSNBC, Huffington Post etc... Those are nothing but propaganda. I do watch FOX News but mainly for Huckabee, Kelly, and Bill. I know these people are just commentators, I just like their views.

It sucks that all the news outlets are biased, most of which are liberally slanted, seriously CNN and MSNBC have almost the same exact content and reporting, it's scary. Fox is biased too, but at least they do report on things that are happening and get ignored by the liberal media. I'm also a conservative so I that's probably why I prefer it, but I never trust it fully, just more than the other networks.

It varies widely by the day, but today to get a grip on my politics and controversies I checked CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, Think Progress, Breitbart, Infowars, Socialist Worker, Moderate Voice, Daily Caller, Huffington Post, The Blaze, Al Jazeera, and Salon. I usually peruse the straighter-news sites and then delve into liberal, conservative, and more offbeat sites for different stories and different takes on current issues.

Local news mostly. Sometimes I read national news sites, but my local paper and tv provide information that effect me directly.

The Washington Times
RedState
Drudge Report
The Daily Caller
The Hill
Breitbart
The Blaze
Fox News
The Weather Channel
I also have Google Alerts on my potential 2016 candidates for President which give me links to whatever newspaper reported on them and their activities.

Of course Drudge links to a variety of different news sources like The NY Times, CBS, The LA Times, Boston Globe, etc., every day and when I need to do a search on News I go to Google News.

Also, if I'm very interested in a particular story, I'll read the newspaper story in the applicable local paper. For example, if there is a school shooting in Colorado, I'm going to read The Denver Post account not The NY Times. If I want to read about the GW Bridge scandal, I'm going to read the Bergen Record not The Washington Post.

Well I don't read as many, daily as some of you do or say you do. WOW and I am the one that is retired with time to read, when I am not out and about.

Daily from cover to cover: our local paper, which is a great paper.

The Wall Street Journal but not cover to cover.

Yahoo news.

Drudge report normally.

We subscribe to "The Week" and Time magazines, but they are not daily, obviously.

We watch FOX, our local news, PBS and CBS news, but not all of them daily. We also will flip over to CNN about once or twice a week.

Others on a hit or miss basis, depending on the time of year, other activities and what is happening worldwide. If there is something really newsworthy going on I might read the Washington Post.

I will flip to MSNBC but rarely.
There are a few I will not read or watch: the one that comes to mind first is Huffington Post. It is rare for me to read anything in the NY Times or the Times columnist that appear in our local paper once or twice a week.
