where and which is your preferred way of seeing what is going on in that big wide world out there.
I like sky news and get most of my news from there, I just like the way the news is delivered on there, and like the newsreaders.
occasionally I will buy a newspaper, but thats more for the tat/showbizzy popcorn type of news.
LOL ive even seen the odd breaking news item on here or Ebay message boards and either followed the link or switched sky news on for an update.

From Wikipedia: The Huffington Post is an American news website and aggregated blog founded by Arianna Huffington and Kenneth Lerer, featuring various news sources and columnists. The site, often referred to as HuffPost or HuffPo, offers coverage of politics, media, business, entertainment, living, style, the green movement, world news, and comedy, and is a top destination for news, blogs and original content. In four years, it has become an influential media brand -- "The Internet Newspaper." The Huffington Post was launched on May 9, 2005, as a commentary outlet and liberal alternative to conservative news aggregators like the Drudge Report.
I like it because of the huge variety of contributors and the diversity of topics and opinions. To be fair, I am quite obsessed with US politics and judicial politics in particular, so I actually should have added some of the other sites I use.
HuffPost is usually a good read though and I think Ariana Huffington, the founder, is a pretty cool woman.
I started reading it in about 2007 or so - probably in the run up to the presidential election when the primaries were starting to look interesting.
I am a geek. rolleyes
LOL i just edited my post in case it sounded a bit interrogatory....but i was just wondering how you came by....which you have answered LOL

okay... I'll go now..
Radio.....only time I have is in the car so get what I can from the radio.
Radio here too - Classic FM to be precise. I pick up the odd weekend paper - Telegraph or Guardian. But rarely enough not to count as getting news that way.
I certainly won't be paying Murdoch to access his sleazy news site. Any more than I will pay for his bum-fodder 'news' papers.
Bollox to the lot of ya. wink Joking btw.
I get my news from many sources. The tv and of course on occasion the newspapers.
Shock horror I hear you cry. :shock:
Funny how the lefties read the Guardian and the slightly righties read the Mail and the Sun.
T he Mail is pretty much on the money a lot of the times, but the Guardian is just full of do goody tree huggers. :wink:
Still four million people who read the Sun are all right wing numpties according to many on here, but hey I would rather 4 million brought my paper, than 500 who buy the Guardian. :wink:
Did you read the story in the Sun today about the woman......... lol

I heard it on the grapevine
radio 1 and occasionally local radio or five live
occasionally i buy a daily newspaper but find them very boring these days
usually buy the local weekly paper cus its very important to read about local garden parties ......... lol
sometimes if i see something mentioned on a forum online il look at bbcnews online or put the tv onto bbcnews24 or sky news
Radio mostly simply because television news is picture led and is therefore not as informative. I read the odd web newspaper if a subject interests me.
Local paper comes out on a Friday 12 noon.
BBC online
Times online
that is it really unless some one puts up a link to something interesting, then I might brouse around that site for a bit.
Sky News is good, especially if something big kicks off they seem to get camras there very quickly.
BBC 24 news id goos but does tend to repeat itself
At weekend i prefer the the newspaper, able to sit down and relax with it
BBC News website whilst I'm at work. Radio 5 when in the car and BBC TV news when at home.
Local paper on a daily basis, mainly for local business news
Sunday Times most weekends
Usually from the radio and a newspaper, I dont own a tv so i do look things up on the internet if its something i`m interested in
erm ..... radio4 redface
no papers here, i stopped reading the red tops when i realised that for the first time ever, that they can run the country when the purpose fits
see source
here
for the real news i use cnn and algeseara <sp> try to balance the two and find a believable centre
for realy local stuff i have a cb radio and a whole network of curtain twitchers lol
dunno
