I freely admit to being a news junkie. I read and/or listen to as much of it as I can get. For a quick fix of just headline stuff, my main source of ongoing news is CNN.com and I have yahoo configured to show me AP and Reuters top stories. But I usually research the stories that interest me way beyond that. I read our local daily Atlanta newspaper, which occasionally contains story of local interest but overall does a lousy job of covering the news. I also read the NY Times, Washington Post, UK Guardian, Wall Street Journal, San Jose Mercury Times, San Francisco Bee, and depending on where news is happening in the world, local papers from other countries. I have a huge set of newspaper links, and sometimes I just browse them to see that the rest of world has to say about the US and to get a different take on news that isn't tinted by American nationalism. I also subscribe to news update email notices about space, space exploration weather, earthquakes, volcanos, archaeology, etc. and at least once a day find myself running a google on some story that the mainstream media didn't cover well just to see the entire story for myself. ______________________________________________________________________ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-community@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
