March 28, 2008 - 08:30 ET by Ruths husband BenI don't watch TV, so that is a big goose egg. I rarely read a paper, except when I am traveling. I listen to the radio every day. But I do that over the internet, so does that count? I also listen almost exclusively to Spanish language radios (I have a theory that if I listen long enough eventually I will understand it. I'll let you know if it ever works!)

An obvious caution
March 28, 2008 - 09:09 ET by KC MulvilleOf course, you're asking this ... on the internet. That may skew the results.

March 28, 2008 - 15:45 ET by nkviking75This type of poll is not scientifc anyway. All it does is reflect the opinions of those who made the effort to answer.
When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.
What are you talking about?
March 28, 2008 - 17:22 ET by cheesegraterThis poll isn't about opinions. It asks what you do. Doing something isn't an opinion.
Only Choice
March 28, 2008 - 09:16 ET by Full MonteI'm in the military stationed in Germany and I'm still not very good at understanding the German language. So, I can't get it from the local TV news, radio, or newspapers. The Armed Forces Network has to give equal time to the different networks so I only get Fox sporadically.
Drudge
March 28, 2008 - 10:29 ET by iveseenitallDrudge is the place for news. I thought of going to the Trinity Church for the news on the tapes they sell, but figured it might be a tinnie-winnie bit biased.
NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"
psst: Michelle was at it again at some college last January. "That's America", she said while talking about bigotry and the lack of equal opportuinty. Rush reported it yesterday.--- "God DAMN America".
Definitely internet
March 28, 2008 - 10:36 ET by HelenSMy first stop, after e-mail, in the morning is Drudge. Then NewsBusters. Then I listen to Rush every afternoon (I'm a 24/7 member). And if I accidently hear the news at home on the TV, I quickly change the channel so I don't throw-up, lose my appetite, or throw something at the TV.
Internet is much quicker and easier. And pages like NewsBuster make it possible to get the news without the pollution of the liberal agenda.

Everything I ever need to
March 28, 2008 - 10:46 ET by Mark FinkelsteinEverything I ever need to know I learn via NewsBusters ;-)
I voted for the Internet.
March 28, 2008 - 11:04 ET by ConservativeRexI voted for the Internet. However, I read other cities newspaper editorials on occasion to see what the rest of the country is thinking. But it is fairly predictable on their views. It really seems to me that all editors are "cookie cutter" editors. All the same, same ideology. It's really sickening. I can not read our closest major city's paper with any regularity (Houston Chronicle) it's a Hearst paper which tells you everything you need to know.
NB is a great source. I can take only so much of Drudge, and The Conservative Grapevine is very useful, it often has articles from NB on it.
I do like our local paper, the oldest newspaper in Texas!
I voted for the internet.

Drudge
March 28, 2008 - 11:12 ET by ChaitealoverI go to Drudge and Brietbart for world and national news. I'll tune in to a local TV station for local news, but it seems they're spending only about 4 minutes of their 1/2 hour locally, then it's on to the same stuff the networks blather about. So I go watch "Cash Cab." I stopped reading newspapers several years ago.

Television news is a joke
March 28, 2008 - 11:19 ET by mvfreemanTelevision news is a joke so it's mostly blogs for me.
LGF, Instapundit and Hot Air. Also Drudge and for sports news I go to the Houston Chronicle's website.

The Rocky Mountain Collegian: Illustrating Idiocy
I get my information from
March 28, 2008 - 11:47 ET by Dan The Man 2I get my information from this site mostly. It seems to cover most of what is important to me. I dont want to spend teh time sifting through 10 miles of junk to find an inch of news. I also watch FNC almost exclusively after trying MSNBC, CNN and others. I found FNC to be one of the better places. I also listen to NPR from KERA in Dallas.
I listen to NPR for two reasons, 1 to get a different perspective and 2 to find out what the commies are thinking. It keeps me grounded as long as my head doesnt explode. I also listen to The Word 100.7 a lot. Scott Wilder and the Bible Answerman are my favorites.

FOX News Channel - All the Way
March 28, 2008 - 15:17 ET by roadgeek9Nobody can get closer to being fair and balanced than FOX News.
I beg of you - NEVER WATCH MSNBC - THEY ARE PURE BIAS!
Hmmm. On days I watch too-much Fox News
March 28, 2008 - 15:19 ET by sarcasmoI find myself needing the entire hour of Stewart & Colbert for balance. To each his own! :)

A corruption-story the TV media will-not cover.
NEWS?
March 28, 2008 - 15:46 ET by ScrapironTV is for local news. Newspapers are for flea markets, court house land sale records,and the Obits. Nothing else of interest in/on either.
Old, Retired and glad of it.
Internet!
March 28, 2008 - 18:34 ET by heldmyw...and occasionally I read the chicken entrails if I want to know what's happening tomorrow.
It's the internet for me.
March 28, 2008 - 18:56 ET by R D HelmUnless I am in the car, in which case it's the radio. I don't surf and drive, unlike some around where I live.
As for the those voting "other" I can only assume they get their news from smoke signals. :-)

new sources
March 28, 2008 - 20:24 ET by candanceI'd have to say about 85% of my news comes from the internet. I listen to Rush or Jason when I'm in the car and I'll watch Fox News when there's a big story on. Oh, and sometimes I inadvertently get a CBS News update during a ball game [shudder].
I said radio (well, duh) but
March 28, 2008 - 23:09 ET by radiofitz34I said radio (well, duh) but I only get the immediate news that way. I'd have to say that I get more in depth news from the internet. I don't watch the big 3 national newscasts ever.
the net of course!
March 29, 2008 - 09:02 ET by gleefullyisayI watch Glenn Beck, H &C, some times Bill O but you can't beat the net for news. I silently for years have read NB with my cup of java every day and have snorted more than a few drops. The writers are great, the commenters for the most part are smart and humerous and have provided me with endless entertainment and laughs. Now I add my own 2 cents occasionally as I am passionately opposed to B. Hussein getting even close enough to cut the white house lawn never mind sleeping there.

March 30, 2008 - 10:25 ET by the strugglerI get my news from radio and the internets.
Entertainment I get from Olberman and Matthews.
