My news sources are both foreign and domestic. Since I speak German I usually read news online from German newspapers and magazines as well as British news and of course US news. I also read blogs and financialsense.com
Lately though, I have noticed that the quality of news just does not appear to be the same. What gets published as news these days, isn't really news. Today e.g. the fact that price on gasoline and groceries has risen is consider news. Hardly news, at least not to me, and probably not news to anybody on mises either.
What are your sources of news?
Sometimes "majority" simply means that all the fools are on the same side
I spam the drudgereport servers several times an hour.
Don't allow leftists to play games with definitions! Some of the libertarian-leaning leftists at this forum will try to redefine "left-wing" back to its original defition (Third Estate, limited government, free-markets, laissez-faire reforms, etc.). Fine! We non-leftists can't stop them from using their own personal definitions; they can use whatever labels they want to describe any concept they want.However, they have the audacity to then use their personal definition of "left-wing" (remember, the original definition, which is no longer valid) to prove that modern leftists are more libertarian than modern rightists! They will say that libertarianism is "inherently leftist" (again, using the original, no longer valid definition), and use that to insist that we should prefer and side with modern leftists over modern rightists.
Question their motives.
Euronews and Mises.org. I also pick up stories on various fora I'm on.
reddit.com, though it is slightly liberal/pro-obama/anti-clinton/anti-McCain slanting. CNN.com, but with a grain of salt. And of course, Mises.
Drudge, Novak's column, NY Post and Daily News, and the LewRockwell.com blog.
"He that struggles with us strengthens our nerves, and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist is our helper." Edmund Burke
I use google reader for my daily news and subscribe to a few things:
Everything else I read can't really be called 'news', more op/ed -- like lewrockwell.com, mises sometimes falls into this category too.
BBC, CNN (largely for Jack Cafferty and to see how bogus Lou Dobbs is), TVO (TV Ontario, thats local public news, debates 5 nights a week, very impartial and intellegent commentator), Mises.org.
Hey, this is a private residence man...
I have a RSS reader on my phone:
Hmm...The free version has 10 feeds and that's only 9. Probably add Christian Science Monitor or Marginal Revolution (been wanting to check that out anyway just never get around to it).
Add in I'm the 'local troll' or 'laissez-fare pollyanna' over on Technocrat.net.
Oh, also the Mises.org daily articles and John Mauldin's e-mail newsletter.
I usually run through the feeds once a day or so to see what's going on in the world since I don't ever watch the TV or listen to the news on the radio except for flipping over to the Public Radio channel on the Xm every now and again.
