Where do you get most your news from?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/ and twitter for me. About once a month I may look at digg.com

Never see news on TV or read a paper-newspaper anymore.

Just interested in others habits. I'm sure there is a bias I take on board when reading only one site. Do you actively go to the other point of view? Like guardian is to the left, I suppose I should hit the daily_mail site for the right. But I know some only read the The Sun website but all they are bothered about is celebs.

I'm kinda interested in politics but sometimes I don't get the full feel for it. I didn't hear Obama's voice until just before he was elected as I always opt for the transcript before the actual performance. So yeah, erm - like I say, just interested.

I tried to cut down the ammount of news i watch/read as it's quite often just depressing and usually just blows stuff out of proportion.

but i do still catch about ten minutes of bbc breakfast in the morning and buy the guardian/sunday times at the weekend. actually like the magazines but was pissed off this weekend as the guardian(saturday)had almost exactly the same articles in as the sunday times.

A gets The Star at work and brings that home but that doesn't count as news unless you call jordan and the other celebrity shit/football/tits etc news. my kids like it to draw faces on the tits
