PBS, WSJ, and the local paper. For biased news, I like Morning Joe for a conservative take, and Lawrence O'Donnel for the liberal side.

Town crier comes to the front parking lot of the town market every day at 6PM, gets off his horse rings his bell several times and reads the news from a scroll.

Internet these days. Over the summer, we sometimes subscribe to the nearest city paper so the kids can actually see the newspapers in the house. Otherwise, I check the local and city papers online, some blogs (both sides just to see both sides), and a ton of independent sites that I think still exemplify good journalism. Sadly, I find the comments on most news sites tell more of the truth than the actual article.

None of the above choices. Internet mainly, using multiple sources. I do still subscribe to the local Sunday newspaper, but very often it goes unread. I do usually grab the coupons though.

For these old geezer its the largest in the state newspaper (daily); the local town paper (daily); the local 5:00 news on TV; and Google news site, off and on during the day.

Love my papers the most.

I also pick none of the above. There needs to be a "various online sources" choice. Almost all news has some kind of bias these days. To get a real picture of what's happening, an intelligent person has to read from a variety of places and even then, use a little common sense.

Anybody who takes their news from a single source is going to end up with a very myopic world view. More so if it's Fox or MSNBC
