I get 90% of my news from the internet. I use Google News, Drudge, and if I'm bored Fox, but I like the internet because I can cross reference news on different sights to see if i can decipher the truth.

Why do you use your method of choice?

SSG Mikus,

I'm a fan of Fox News on cable and on the internet. I realize that Fox puts a conservative spin on their stories, but I'm okay with that. All media outlets put their own spin on news reports, and I can't stomach some of the liberal garbage produced by MSNBC and similar networks.

Bias is only a media outlet knowing their audience. Like I've been saying, none of them report "news", they sell advertisements and need to generate viewers and clicks to make a profit. That is their only motive.

Actually as many sources as I can if it's a story that I'm truly interested in... no single source seems capable of presenting a story without any spin.
The more sources you use, the better your chances of deciphering the truth.
Damn shame it's come to this though.

Mostly internet, but if I HAVE to watch it on TV, then my preference is BBC. They don't have a stake in our news, so it's mostly just a recitation of facts with little enthusiasm from the anchor, which is great. Boring news means they aren't trying to entertain you.
