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.
feed://news.google.com/?output=rss (got to cut through a lot of american domestic crap, some good stories come through though)
and to balance out the american http://news.bbc.co.uk/

perthnow - I play spot the gramatical error/ spelling mistake, it's fun & makes me rage like nothing else!

ABC or SMH
Riding - Living the dream...
PSB
Dubs
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...
"In all the human societies we have ever reviewed, in every age and in every state, there has seldom if ever been a shortage of eager young males prepared to kill and die to preserve the security, comfort and prejudices of their elders, and what you call heroism is just an expression of this fact; there is never a scarcity of idiots." -The Culture
PSB points me to anything interesting, only flick through the paper, don't really read it.
herald sun and the age for online stuff
BBC world service, ABC and occasionally google news
News.com.au Top stories | News from Australia and around the world online | News.com.au for a laugh
news.bbc.co.uk if i want something somewhere near accurate
stuff
Reuters
Crikey
The Age - AFL tipping help, ex union player who knows fuck all about AFL.
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.)
Fark?
none - they all have agendas and lie to suit themselves and advertisers

Eternal enemy of the goon, more sophisticated than 4chan
In life you only get one lap, might as well make it a good one.
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...
