Where do you get your news from?
Since most people here seem able to substantiate there claims with some sort of background, where do you get your news from?
What websites do you use? Radio Stations? Newspapers? TV?
Personally, I visit the BBC website every so often... I don't watch much news on TV, and if I do.. It's usually the BBC again. Newspapers... As part of a course im doing, I've started reading a few broadsheets.. The times, etc.. But if its recreational.. I love reading The mirror, or Sun for a laugh. I tend to try not to base claims around these papers though.
So where do you get your news from, and why?

The evening news normally.
I have picked a number of stories up from the threads here before seeing them on the news.

Re: Where do you get your news from?
The wars and all this fuss about terrorism have killed the news for me - I no longer bother. I read the local rag to find out who's been banged up, who's killed who, who's dead, and so on. I did used to use both Google and the BBC site - I occasionally dip in for technology news but that's all. The BCS send me an email every so oft with technology news and I glance at that.

Re: Where do you get your news from?
Not really TV anymore. Watch very little news if any.
Probably BBC, Sky News and various specific sports channels like ccfc.co.uk, Teamtalk and Sky Sports News.
