For American news I usually avoid the US networks and get it from the sources above or The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.  It's a shame that a comedy show has become a better source of journalism than most of the news networks. Local news around here is a load of rubbish that's long on style and short on substance.

For GAA news or any other specific topic I'm interested in I go to Google news and get it from all sources.

Pretty much where most here seem to get it;

Jon Stewart  ::)
NY Times
The Guardian, self proclaimed "the world's leading liberal voice".
Al Jazeera
MSLSD

And one wonders why I laugh out loud at the mere mention of Fox news
and how it's not balanced on here  :D

Thank you, TO, I'm sure the others are quite capable of speaking for themselves.

You must be new here, TO won't be answering a question like that.

Oh I'll be nice to him and give him the benefit of the doubt.  Sure even people like him have to get their news from somewhere, even if it's hate radio up and down the AM dial.

Rarely home on time to see any news between 6 and 7 so mainly get the news via various news outlets on Twitter, BBC News online and the good old gaaboard!

RTE online and the Indo online as well. The Kerryman and Kerry's Eye too.

I get my news from the GAABoard. Then I go looking at RTE, BBC, Sky News or whatever.

I get my American Sports News from having ESPN radio on most of the day :)
