Are you a Fox fanatic? Or an MSNBC addict? Where do you first turn for news? MSM? Ideological sites? Talk radio?
Where do you go to fact check what you hear from your news sources?
One of my goto sites since 1999 is RefDesk.com. It hasn't changed much format-wise since then, but has an amazing list of tools and reference. Kind of like the Craigslist of information. Stripdown, simple, largely devoid of ads.
As for news sources, I don't really have any trusted favorites. Google news streams news by subject to a single page and provides multiple sources for cross referencing and comparing. I don't own a TV or subscribe to cable, so blissfully, the din of hyperbole and sensationalism is low.

I get most of my news from my local news station. Sometimes I buy a newspaper if the headlines interest me. I also get a lot of my news from various online sources.
A lot of times I hear news here on DP that I don't hear about in other places, so I can link to other people's "local" news stories, which is kind of cool too!
Ya, there are times I really miss that ritual of rifling through an actual newspaper.
Discovery/History channel.What are your favorite sources of information?
I'm a consumer of entertainment, not what people call "news". Whatever is happening, I want to be entertained by it, and nothing is sacred, which is why I'm responsible for DP's new rule against posting graphic materiel.What are your favorite sources ofinformation[propaganda]?
I'm a big fan of service oriented talk radio, like Dave Ramsey and Tom Martino, and not a big fan of political talk radio.Are you a Fox fanatic? Or an MSNBC addict? Where do you first turn for news? MSM? Ideological sites? Talk radio?
Since they're all biased I just assume they're all wrong.Where do you go to fact check what you hear from your news sources?
