What's your news source of choice?

bbc - first choice - mostly just straight news, annoys me sometimes because they so desperately try to balance everything to the point that they over represent very minority voices, but at least they try, unlike everyone else

too much opinion and trashy news on sky

Daily mail is just trolling people who like to hate / blame other people for everything

RT is almost as bad as the Iraqi information minister
Al Jazeera is pretty good at times

Why have you posted in the MH370 thread if you have no interest in general news?

Just because a story is covered by general news does not mean that it does not fall into other news categories too like aviation.

Why not? Its a huge story.
Not reading general news, 99% are boring and uninteresting. Doesn't mean having zero interest in the world.
I didn't need to read/watch hours of boring news to come across that one. Seeing as its everywhere.

As someone else said anything massive, you find out about.

He's talking about the sort of stories you'd find on the BBC News website - ie... news. Rather than tech news or whatever.

But the stories on the BBC website can be x type of news. I don't see your point. If I read something in a medical journal and that story is also covered by the BBC and I post in that thread, that doesn't mean I like reading general news.

I somewhat doubt he picked it up in a copy of Aviation Weekly. He read it on a mainstream news site like everyone else did. Because guess what, almost everyone reads the news from time to time. It's not bizarre to do so.
 
If you call GD mainstream news.
and on bing news, you get one top storey which you can't turn off.

Its a far cry from reading hundreds of articles about dross. That you don't care about, aren't interesting, learn nothing from.

So you won't find a single instance of BBC News, The Telegraph, FT or whatever in your internet history from the last 2 weeks?

Yea, sure.

Reading the news isn't 'bizarre'.

Maybe if you read more you'd know the difference between an article describing an event and the floor of a building :p
 
This is my day. ;)

Awake when I can be bothered or am up anyway taking little one to school.

1. Dailymail because its a light hearted news site. :p
2. Telegraph because its a little more serious.
3. BBC to see what daily propaganda the establishment is pumping out. :rolleyes:
4. Jeff Rense to look at the otherside of things whacky or not. :confused:
5. N4G for gaming news. :D
6. OCUK forum. ;)

Rinse and repeat 10 times thats my day! :(

Of course you will, as I said I subscribe to topics I have interest in, and when there's a big news story which is impossible to miss and I'm interested. I'll look it up.

It is strange. Not in the way you imply though. Yes its very common to read general news. But why do you do it? That is the bizarre point. Do you find it interesting? Do you really care Joe blogs you never heard off 200miles away was involved in an RTA.
