1. The selection is far too narrow and US-centric to cover any but the cocooned.

[WCGreen]

6. Snarky aren't we...

I bet you love obscure indy bands until they break through and then you drop 'em like a fish wrapped in the NYT...

[delrem]

7. You don't get it. My reply wasn't snarky. I stand by it.

[newfie11]

20. +1

[Tx4obama]

2. DU, Twitter, The AP, MSNBC, CNN, HuffPo, TPM, MEDIAite, and a lot more places :)

[dmr]

15. I get much of my news from Twitter, which

takes me to so many sites on the net - including all those you mentioned above.

DU, Twitter & Maddow - oh my!

[Marrah_G]

3. All over the internet, sometimes the radio if I am in the car

[dkf]

4. Twitter. Then DU.

[immoderate]

5. I have MSNBC on the TV most of the day, but watch rarely...

And MSNBC only covers a few things, and if there's a disaster or shooting that becomes the whole deal and I'll change the channel.

Everything comes through DU.

8. Mostly DU, but we do watch the PBS Newshour.

They do cover the same stuff as DU, mostly. However, DU has more up-to-the moment news.

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. I gather some personally from actual news events

Otherwise I tend to watch msnbc and read widely

[WCGreen]

10. All the links here on DU is the best place to start...

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. During the Filner saga I even provided some.

As well as Occupy and a few others. I truly believe we can more or less do the job

[OnyxCollie]

12. DU links/Democracy Now!/The Majority Report. nt

[defacto7]

13. I chose to pass...

Although I could click DU as a main stay, it doesn't represent the whole for me.

I would have to add AlJazeera, CBC, BBC, and also click on MSNBC and Colbert.

[1-Old-Man]

14. BBC America-Canada

[xfundy]

16. Rawstory primarily, Here, sfgate and Joemygod

I typically look at several large cities' newspapers daily as well, but they're making that more difficult with firewalls. When they finally shut us all out, the news will still get thru, hopefully, but the rate of fascist takeover is growing, so who knows in the future.

[SheilaT]

17. Amy Goodman, the BBC

which comes on after her on my community radio station, then Rachel Maddow.

I take what I read here on DU with a grain of salt, as people here have been known to jump on some trivial thing without bothering to ascertain the facts.

I also read my local paper.

I don't have a TV, so I never watch mainstream media. Lucky me.

[progree]

18. news.yahoo.com with a heavy concentration of their AP and Reuters stories

Also, maybe 2-3 times a week, the PBS Newshour.

Progressive talk radio.

The Nation magazine.

[mahina]

19. a bunch.5

BBC, google.com/news, common dreams, truthout, nyt, sfgate, staradv ertiser.com.

[eridani]

21. Links for DU, but also other online sources n/t

[FSogol]

22. Mixture of the Washington Post (still get it delivered) and NPR.

Small portion of it from DU and Google News too.

[bhcodem]

23. DU and....

Twitter and Facebook links, MSNBC.

[quinnox]

24. All over the place - CNN, RT news, BBC, Google news, The Guardian website

[LostOne4Ever]

25. DU mainly

But I used to get a fair amount from a facebook political group of whom I used to be a part. At least till last week when I got pissed off with all the denialism and confirmation bias from the main conservative there.

[Agschmid]

26. Although mostly WBUR...

Boston public radio/NPR

[LanternWaste]

27. BBC, NHK, and local paper.

BBC, NHK, and local paper.

[Agnosticsherbet]

28. Internet sources, not necessarily or even in the majority from DU.

I have created links to sources from around the world. When I see a story concerning an issue in which I am interested, I look for other sources because there is no trusted single source.

I do watch MSNBC some, but not for NEWS. MSNBC is opinion and commentary, not news. It is pretty good, usually, but it isn't news.

[Ohio Joe]

29. Links from DU

I would say that covers a large percentage of my news.

[Xyzse]

30. News: I get from a combination of sources

NPR - At the morning, when I drive to work. That is about an hour and thirty minutes to and from. So around 3 hours a day.
DU Links - If I wanted to see some affirming news and some semi-balance.

Google News - I get rid of my history and other things, and never log in to my google/gmail account so that it never saves my news search or otherwise. My reasoning, these bastards triangulate what news I look at. Which means, they filter out other things that I may find interesting or not of my opinion. If I wanted to be living in a bubble, then I'd put my credentials. Otherwise, I'd want to see as much as possible without self-affirming sites of people that have just the same views that I do. This goes for anything else out there. It ticks me off, and I blame FB for slowing down the internet with all the ways we are connected to FB, google and so forth, when logged on.

MSN Homepage - I see their headlines and click at what fits my fancy.

Yahoo - I think I will get rid of my looking at this place. Sometimes they have interesting stories, but their format has gone down the drain.

[Bunnahabhain]

31. CBC and BBC

Far better sources, not US-centric, not as hype driven.

[Benton D Struckcheon]

32. Should've allowed for multiple sources

These days, Twitter is the best source for breaking news. First thing I check for that.
DU is second. (This time last year I wasn't using either. This time last year I didn't even know DU existed, actually. I knew Twitter existed, but it was just another one of those things teenyboppers used, or so I thought...)
MSNBC for commentary on the day's happenings.
