What are your sources of news

Miscellaneous General
1

My news sources are both foreign and domestic. Since I speak German I usually read news online from German newspapers and magazines as well as British news and of course US news. I also read blogs and financialsense.com

Lately though, I have noticed that the quality of news just does not appear to be the same. What gets published as news these days, isn’t really news. Today e.g. the fact that price on gasoline and groceries has risen is consider news. Hardly news, at least not to me, and probably not news to anybody on mises either.

What are your sources of news?

2

I spam the drudgereport servers several times an hour.

3

Euronews and Mises.org. I also pick up stories on various fora I’m on.

4

reddit.com, though it is slightly liberal/pro-obama/anti-clinton/anti-McCain slanting. CNN.com, but with a grain of salt. And of course, Mises.

5

Drudge, Novak’s column, NY Post and Daily News, and the LewRockwell.com blog.

6

I use google reader for my daily news and subscribe to a few things:

Everything else I read can’t really be called ‘news’, more op/ed – like lewrockwell.com, mises sometimes falls into this category too.

7

BBC, CNN (largely for Jack Cafferty and to see how bogus Lou Dobbs is), TVO (TV Ontario, thats local public news, debates 5 nights a week, very impartial and intellegent commentator), Mises.org.

I have a RSS reader on my phone:

  • The Register

  • WSJ.com: Markets

  • BBC News

  • CNN.com: Top Stories

  • Financial Times - US homepage

  • New York Times

  • Science Daily

  • Engadget

  • Wired News

Hmm…The free version has 10 feeds and that’s only 9. Probably add Christian Science Monitor or Marginal Revolution (been wanting to check that out anyway just never get around to it).

Add in I’m the ‘local troll’ or ‘laissez-fare pollyanna’ over on Technocrat.net.

Oh, also the Mises.org daily articles and John Mauldin’s e-mail newsletter.

I usually run through the feeds once a day or so to see what’s going on in the world since I don’t ever watch the TV or listen to the news on the radio except for flipping over to the Public Radio channel on the Xm every now and again.
