Where do you get your news?
I was reading an article on CNN about the first account of the Seal Team Six raid. Some guy a half a mile from Osama compound heard helicopters and tweeted about it. He ended up taking pictures of the site, and interviewing neighbors. He said the little journalism he did was a first responders type and anybody is able to do it with social media plus a decent smart phone.

There is a saying "believe nothing of what you hear and half of what you see". I consider myself to be an Independent so I'm really not feeling the major news networks. Which is sad that you don't believe news.

I remember when Naughty Nomad was in Damascus and said they people seemed to still support the regime during the early part of protest last year in Syria. The major medias made it seem like we needed to act now.

So my question is where do you get your slanted propaganda from? I'm get mines from CNN but with everything you take it with a grain of salt. I hate how they have been handling the Republican debates tho.

The cycle of disrespect can start with just an appetizer.

RE: Where do you get your news?
Personally I am on an information diet and I don't bother to read news or watch TV most of the time. After all it's just another form of entertainment.

Still, if I want to indulge I usually go to places like economist, the new york times or newsvine. (That is, if I want to read something in English)

Another tip for you might be livestation. They stream a variety of news channels from different countries.

Hacker News is great, has material you won't see anywhere else and has one of the best comments sections on the web. A lot of it is programming oriented, a lot of it isn't.

Foxnews, MSNBC, CNN, Google News, RVF, local newspapers.

Each news source has their own agenda.

Read different types and then come to your own conclusions.
