Where do you go to read the news? I used to check CNN every day. Now that site is so awful with the new layout and videos for everything, that I can't stand to go there anymore.
I avoid FOX so what else is there?

Try businessinsider.
I use their app on my iPhone and they constantly update the news from various sources.

The Current Events and P&M boards, of course. I really just keep up with our local news stations on FB. Work is using IE2 I believe, or something just as outdated, so most news sites cause it to freak out with the videos & flash going on.

I hate everything about CNN now, the layout, the autovideo playing. It's just a disorganized mess of visuals. Makes my head hurt to look at it. It makes me mad because it was my go-to site for years. I want to just be able to skim a page to get an overview of all the top stories. BBC looks good. I didn't know it was a world site, I always thought it was mostly Great Britain.

I like aldaily.com, the left frame has a pretty good selection for breaking news, newspapers, and magazines.

Based on the small sample here I would think they are getting tons of negative feedback on their new "look". I hope so anyhow, I can't believe people like being bombarded with all the visuals.

I listen to BBC podcasts during my workout as well as a video podcast in German. Gotta find a new source in French since france3.fr stopped its podcasts. I also read the paper. Rarely glance at CNN.com; too much sports and celebrity stuff.

Are you viewing from mobile or desktop? At work I usually have Google News open in a tab -- I like that you can customize your settings (more stories from BBC, fewer from Fox, set alerts for certain topics, etc.) But I'm not sure how it looks on mobile or whether it's as user-friendly.

I don't. No cable news, no internet news, no newspaper, it's glorious. I don't need to read bullshit, fear mongering, and one sided agenda driven opinion pieces masquerading as news, while being bombarded with ads for crap I don't need the entire time. Between these boards and conversations with people in real life I somehow still end up hearing about anything that's actually newsworthy. The only things I miss are all the distractions, puff pieces, fear mongering, and bullshit that networks use to fill up airtime when there's nothing sad/bloody/shocking enough going on to take over the headlines. DH was gone for 11 days and I only turned the TV on once to watch 60 minutes and Madam Secretary. He just doesn't get why I don't like having the TV on, LOL.
Last night we were watching the DVR and he was a little slow on the FF. I had to laugh because I don't recognize most of the late night guests being featured on the late night shows any more. I'm in Bonny-World!

This could be me. The sweetie is one of those people who has the TV on every waking minute of every day. It makes me completely insane. No joke, I think I'm starting to lose my mind. And he watches way too much news. bah!
I can go days without the tv on, although there are silly things I like to watch.

SWR.de broadcasts both newscasts and 24 hr radio news (German) as does InfoRadio Berlin-Brandenburg. Antenne Bayern does music and news out of Munich (updates on Bayern Muenchen Soccer too) Otherwise, the BBC. sometimes RT or Pravda RU ( English broadcasts versions for a little propaganda  Newsmax, Msn or Yahoo news too. Now and then a little Debka. And, some of you can throw things...I do watch Fox too. I find a variety of sources stimulating..But then, I'm left handed and wander the halls and passageways of EE regularly too

I have to keep an eye on my heart rate to make sure I'm not slacking off. I don't have to do that when I switch to my Workout Music playlist!

I paid $10 to get an annual subscription to the Washington Post. I thought it would be a bargain - instead it's various levels of bias. Does no one write pure information anymore? I get my news mostly from the Daily Show now. At least it's entertaining.

Let me count the ways: Drudge Newsmax Google News Seattle Times Seattle PI Austin American Statesman Tacoma news Tribune Portland Oregonian Real Clear Markets Bloomberg Bloomberg Personal Finance Yahoo Finance Reuters Fox Business I look at a lot of other news and business sites, but these are the ones that I look at every day. Drudge? The Same Drudge that reported that dogs in Montreal have to speak both official languages, French and English? That Drudge? The same Drudge who can't tell a satire piece from real news?
