Where do you get your news from?

I know right? The news is so boring, why would we even care about the world we live in? May as well get drunk, have sex and watch Jerry Springer.

I actually don't keep much on the news at all. I haven't watched it for a week or so. I hate it. It's more than likely related to my sensitivity.

Sensitive people are greatly affected by emotions they witness. They feel deeply for others' suffering. Many sensitive people avoid sad movies or watching the news because they cannot bear the weighty emotions that would drive to their core and stick with them afterwards.

I understand that. You could always focus on the fluff segments. A tortoise learned how to skateboard! It would be pretty hard to get upset over that.

If the whole world stopped posting on this site would you do the same? I hope so.

I honestly despise all television 'news' shows. At best they're infotainment - but it's difficult for me to enjoy something so blatantly reactionary & sentimental. That they dedicate so much of their time to denigrating rival networks and personalities, and that their viewers are largely too idiotic to realize this is the same as Ford pissing on Honda, just ruins it for me.

Tom Dispatch is part of the Nation Institute; I love it for the foreign policy, although the social and economic commentary is good for keeping myself out of an epistemic closure. Tom Dispatch

Gotta go with CNN.com. User friendly, and gives you freedom of choice in terms of what you want to read about.

I still prefer reading the newspaper when all is said and done. However, as far as TV, I juggle between CNN, PBS Newshour, and local news .
