Where do you get your news from?
Something BDA said in another thread prompted me to ask this question.

Just out of pure curiosity, where do you folks get your news from?

I'm almost strictly a Google News user. Mostly because it's neat to get different perspectives on stories from various news organizations all around the globe.

And in print, I'm a hardcore fanatic of The Economist. I check the local rag on Sundays only, but that's just for local news.

Like reading the Economist too, just not close to bed time. Informative but DRY.

I like The Economist mostly because they play most things right down the center. Something you don't get from garbage like Slime and Newsweak.

Cool.

Re: Where do you get your news from?
Al-Jezeera is currently my favorite. Seriously though I prefer Fox News. To those with a subscription to The Economist, do you think it is worth the price? I took them up on their offer for four free trial issues. I may keep the subscription if it is worth the seemingly steep price.

Re: Where do you get your news from?
The price IS steep, but I think it's worth every penny. I enjoy the magazine immensely.

Right now you can get the first year for $98 which is 30 some odd bucks less than a regular years subscription.
