If you don't watch mainstream news, where do you get your news from?
Just wondering, because I don't watch the mainstream media nor do I read any mainstream papers anymore. My source has been LBN.

What do you go to? Maybe we could fill this thread with some good sources for those of us who don't use the mainstream media anymore.

6. DU is the best, especially LBN
I'm finding when I do catch television headlines or see a newspaper, I'm already aware of everything they're reporting on.

14. Well mainstream is relative...
CBC and BBC are both mainstream, then there's topix.net which is good because it gives you multiple sources, I also occasionally check CNN's website in about equal measure with Al Jazeera and Pravda. I consider all 3 biased but at least if you combine the different bias' you get something of a picture and sometimes they are well documented enough to take them at their word.
