Big loss. The Fox News Channel isn't any better than the network/CNN TV news crap. So now I'm limited to SiriusXM Patriot, which leans a bit farther right than I do (although as the Obama administration continues I'm getting more and more reactionary), but it's still better than having to listen to the mainstream know-nothings.ColoCommentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723919362465373678.post-79597912174737559562013-02-21T18:53:59.557-06:002013-02-21T18:53:59.557-06:00Your news acquisition does seem to be better than ...Your news acquisition does seem to be better than the traditional method.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17839929976191484047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723919362465373678.post-20525105478473018422013-02-21T14:48:39.511-06:002013-02-21T14:48:39.511-06:00I don't.

I do listen to NPR to get the "other" side of the news (i.e., "know thy enemy.")<br />Mostly I check news aggregator websites, various econ, military & news commentary websites, and so on. I'd read lib websites ("kte" see above) but they drive me crazy, they're so inane.<br />Oh, and I also read the WSJ daily, front to back, even though it's gone downhill since Murdoch took it over. It's still got the best op/ed pages in media, I think.ColoCommentnoreply@blogger.com
