    Online. Also I watch CNN, Fox News and BBC World news when I have a chance. I like to have multiple sources.

    CNN, local news channels 3,6, and 7 (or 5 and 8 if I want to know whats going on in Des Moines), the Omaha World Herald and other local newspapers, and just the internet in general.

    The New York Times online - I find their stories to be generally the best written and the most interesting, although Yahoo has gems on occasion. My homepage also has a Google news feed on it.

    All news is biased, so you really need to do your own filtering. I stick to Associated Press, and try to focus on the facts ^^

    NBC occasionally, I have MSN set as my homepage so I get minor stories from there. I skim the newspaper every so often, reading the full story if it's something important. CNN is an alternative, and I couldn't bring myself to watch Fox News unless I were just looking for a laugh.

    The Guardian newspaper, and the BBC news. Occasionally other things, but mainly that. Also I read some blogs and whatever like afterellen.com for news on specific subjects of interest.

    The Google News button
    I scan through, anything that catches my eye I'll usually get at least three websites up (any local/national news MUST include ABC)
    I used to do the 4 hour bloc on television:
    Deutsche Welle (English version) 4-4:30
    Flicks between 7 & 9 4:30-5
    Ten News 5-6
    Local Win News 6-6:30
    National Nine News 6:30-7
    ABC news 7-7:30
    7:30 Report

    Then I sort of got a life (which I've recently lost again!)
    Newspapers: The Australian (moderate) and Canberra Times (slightly right-wing).
    Occasionally I'll read the Sydney Herald (uber Right-wing) to show myself why I don't need to take in ALL opinions.

    In Australia, the best TV news coverage by far is SBS.
    That is the multicultural channel - but it presents a relatively unbiased selection, with reports picked up from international sources, that gives a more comprehensive world cover than any other channel.

    Yes and no. It doesn't do the sort of local news that I like of the ABC and Win. Plus it does tend to take an anti-Imperialist, "look the worlds imploding" view of things.
