Where do you get the latests news from?
News that are balanced meaning no spin from Neoconservatives or from the extreme left. I am tired of watching CNN and MSNBC's spinning, I have my own opinion about what is going on. I just don't think I can rely on any US news, not even the AP.

1. Here.
I figure if anything is breaking news, I'll get it here first, and usually with sources cited. I know the bias in this group, but that works for me, because at DU I've heard about topics that aren't even covered by MSM.

4. Not anywhere in the USA, that's for sure
I keep tabs on the BBC news site - it's so much better than anything in this country.

7. I agree with you...
I like BBC News, I just which we had a BBC News Channel and not just that BBC America channel. I WANT to hear the news, not someone making an opinion of the news or hand picking what their opinion about what is important today. I just which I had a billion dollars, I'll make my own News Channel.
