Electrophile Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 The BBC. I also read our local newspapers and watch local news stations. I don't watch CNN/MSNBC/Fox News. Sometimes I read Time and Newsweek if I can remember to buy them when I'm at the store. Other than that, that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would read our local paper, "The Charlotte Observer," but it's so god-awful I can't stand it. I do have a subscription to Time though. I'm with you on Fox/MSNBC/CNN, they're all worthless.

Tejanablonde Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I search English news sources. I feel that they are probably less influenced by the comminist bent of our current political regime.

Lake of Shadows Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 This is supposed to be a discussion of where you get your political news; I don't want this thread to turn into a political debate. Play nice. I read some of the news websites, and I usually try to look at at least a couple different ones. I try to look at international sites as well as US-based ones if it's about international news, or news/issues mostly related to a different country (e.g. a Canadian source regarding a Canadian issue, the BBC site regarding some English snews, etc.). I also read my local paper, particularly regarding local/regional politics. I also watch some of our local news channels. Of course, when I'm real busy with school or whatever, I don't get a chance to be as thorough as I'd like. Then, I have to just quickly glance at a news website and maybe half-listen to the tv news while doing whatever it is that I need to be doing.

Atlas Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 What's ATS? Above Top Secret Then, of course, there is Mad Cow Morning News July 15, 2010 by Daniel Hopsicker The identity of the pilot of the American-registered DC-9 (N900SA) from St. Petersburg FL caught carrying 5.5 tons of cocaine in Mexico's Yucatan several years ago, long a mystery, finally saw the light of day recently in Mexico. Carmelo Vasquez Guerra, a Venezuelan, was the DC9’s pilot who was said to have “escaped” from the airport while his airplane was being seized, and four other members of his crew were arrested. He was later taken into custody by Mexican authorities, and charged with flying an airplane packed with 128 identical suitcases filled with cocaine. Getting caught with 5.5 tons of cocaine would seem to call for some serious jail time. Reporters in Mexico assumed he’d been sent to prison for, like... forever. So imagine reporter Francisco Gomez of Mexico City's El Universal surprise when he made a startling discovery: Carmelo Vasquez Guerra—amazingly and inexplicably—had been released from prison less than two years after being arrested. The shocking news was delivered via an international headline stating that a pilot with the same name--Carmelo Vasquez Guerra-- had been arrested in the West African nation of Guinea Bissau on a twin-engine Gulfstream II carrying... what else? 550 kilos—a half-ton—of cocaine. But Mexico isn't the only country to arrest Vasquez Guerra for the presumably major offense of flying box-car sized loads of cocaine, only to be forced--or persuaded--to let him go. It's happened in three. Caught and released under mysterious and unexplained circumstances. in Mexico, in Guinea Bissau, and in Mali, home of Timbuktu. Drug pilot Carmelo Vasquez Guerra—or , more likely, the global drug trafficking network to which he belongs, which has, it must be said, a strong and enduring presence in St Petersburg FL, the shuffleboard capital of the world--- has an apparent inexhaustible supply of “get out of jail free” cards. .

bigzepfan Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 For general newsclips CNN, MSNBC and Fox are fine because they're so easy. For anything more important than the face value I go to Google news. pick a category, then hundreds of articles come up from papers, TV, Etc. for each topic. I also use youtube news, but it's not current. always behind a day it seems, but their search function is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lake of Shadows Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 http://whatreallyhappened.com I'm not quite sure why you used my post as a segue to the various conspiracy-theory websites you visit to get your news... ...but no harm, no foul (I guess) as long as it's quite clear that those are YOUR news sources and not mine.
