Where do you source your online news from?
Do you use difference sources for National vs International news?
What's the most politically biased?
The most trashy/appeal-to-the-masses source? Probably obvious here though. *coughDTcough*

I'd probably say mine has been a mix between The Australian and SMH of late, for both national and international.

EDIT: I just realised that with The Australian, DT and Courier Mail are technically within the one group, being news.com.au. In that case, choose whichever the newspaper source you read from within that online group.

Main sources: News.com.au, SMH, ABC, The Australian, The Age, BBC News, CNN.

I check the first three many times a day.

I also keep an eye on the DT, Courier Mail and the Herald Sun.

I dont like any of the newspapers' online services. Too chaotic and not updated enough. I like the more beefy analysis, but not on a screen

Drudge.com is also pretty lol. It's less relevatn atm though, but pretty funny in its clawing attempts to get at Obama

Fox news is the most biast and unfair network I have ever seen in my life. They make a mockery of journalistic integrity and their views are clearly and consistanty biast on all issues by the republican party. They appeal to the hard of thinking because they tell you what opinions you should have rather than giving you all the evidence they:
  • give you evidence that often isn't even true
  • ask random people on the street for their opinions and edit in the ones they like whether they are factually correct or not
  • Ask experts to come on their show and then shout them down in order to prevent them from saying things they don't like
  • Treat people like experts when they actually know nothing about the issue they are talking about
  • Hide important news in their ticker while they talk about celebrities and human intrest stories
By far the worst news network availible. You could be better informed by reading your horoscope than watching this trash. And no I don't like horoscopes either.
