Ok, I'm a junkie. Ever since the 2000 whatever-you-want-to-call-it. Here's where I'm getting as close to "fair & balanced" as I think you can get in the U.S. With my first cup: Google news Christian Science Monitor-online Buzzflash-headlines are always left-slanted, but refers you to major papers, etc. LBN here The toob: 6 a.m. c-span Washington Journal 7 a.m. check opening news on the Today Show. Usually back to c-span, depending on what's happening where. CNN off and on during the day. c-span if there's something of interest on. Watching the house of representatives in session is like watching paint dry. Don't get c-span 2 or 3.
Evening toob: 5 p.m. local news 5:30 ABC Peter Jennings. Used to watch Rather on CBS, but recently (thanks to DU) found Jennings MUCH more to my liking. 6 p.m. PBS Jim Lehrer New Hour. 6:30 cut to other PBS channel - state news and discussion if there's something of interest. Many times News Hour has something on too good to leave. They are now listing KIAs at the end of each program. I think they're all KIAs, whether "combat related" or not. If they weren't there, they'd still be alive.
I read our twice weekly local paper for strictly hometown-county news. Take the Sunday Mobile Register (conservative, but not too wing-nut) for state happenings.
So...what do you do? Any suggestions? Don't get BBC, just BBC U.S. Thanks.
