How many of you check several news outlets daily?

I can't handle TV news any more, between the pace and the commercials. So I check several outlets online a few times a day to get different takes on stories and try to separate the reporting from the spins and commentaries. Just curious how many of you do that too.

1. Right there with you

I read most of the news online as I’m doing the exercise bike in the early morning. Can’t take the 24/7 Breathless Breaking Cable Noise Infotainment channels.

5. I do.

Don't have cable and very rarely look at local news broadcasts. DU gets me started.

6. I get home delivery of the Washington Post. I read it during breakfast.

During the day, I hear NPR and occasionally read the NYT online. DU usually points me to good articles elsewhere.

13. Wonkette is a really really good source of news

They explain things clearly and have a lot of insight, and they’re funny as hell. They’re all phenomenal writers and I could never choose a favorite, but I have no idea how Evan Hurst is as perceptive and fast and prolific as he is about the Mueller Investigation. Whenever I can’t understand what the day’s bombshell means, I go to Wonketter as well as to DU.
