    LWTK: Which online media outlet do you read?

    As we shift (by feel) as a society from reading newspapers to reading online articles and reports I was wondering, where do you read your news from?

    I used to read the online Australian, but lately have been finding ABC a bit more unbiased and interesting...

    ABC for me

    news.com.au when I want to feel outraged at something, usually shoddy journalism/trolling/crass commercialism/fear mongering (it's like ACA/TT but online)

    In life you only get one lap, might as well make it a good one.

    Yeah, news.com.au is good for that. I think that Desmo writes for them.

    PSB and the New York Times... Probably one of the last of the non partisan "large" publications left, here's hoping rupert murdoch doesn't get his claws into it...

    Sometimes I read OS paper like the Washington Post (usually around election time), The Times and International Herald Tribune
    Somehow it's reassuring knowing that I'm not the only one pretending to be normal.

    For Aussie news's's, FARK and PSB. Anything worth noting usually end up at either of these. For anything else there are a few other forums/aggregators/blogs that sometimes end up on the TV anyway (that Patrol dude chocking the EMT? Read about it weeks before it went on Perth TV.)

    When is a safe time to look at it?

    I don't want to do it at home lest I catch naughty bugs, but I don't want to do it at work lest I get sacked...
