The sad part is, that I really don't care about most of it. Not being the dummy in the room is the only motivation. I love John Stewart,and Colbert but I don't consider that news really. Stewart is really impressivly educated on each topic or guest he has on, but if that is news then so is South Park. Local TV news is a complete loss on me. Its all about who got raped, stabbed, shot, a fluff piece about kittens, and then a story about a poor family that got killed by a drunk driver. I would rather be ignorant to the fact that stuff happens every single day. For example: I'm not cold to the fact that millions of people in Haiti are dead or missing (I feel horrible about it), but I don't want to re-live it each evening in graphic detail. Good topic Ellen, I hadn't really thought about it.G-Dubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13487979817790103012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670679032484051596.post-69787920718010775272010-01-28T09:05:46.481-08:002010-01-28T09:05:46.481-08:00My recipe for absorbing the news is skimming the N...My recipe for absorbing the news is skimming the NY Times headlines watching The Daily Show. Throw in some Anderson Cooper (sometimes) and I feel like I know what's going. John Stewart and the Anderson can make anything interesting.Kelly Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16227086941715522652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670679032484051596.post-284751981149302132010-01-28T07:57:12.121-08:002010-01-28T07:57:12.121-08:00I watch a cable news outlet when I eat my cereal a...I watch a cable news outlet when I eat my cereal and I read news online. Then if there is a copy of the WSJ in my firm's kitchen I might peruse it while my leftovers heat up for lunch. Also, sometimes people link articles I find interesting on their blogs and FB pages. Of course, I tend to click only on those links that support my beliefs (preaching to the choir, or blind leading the blind depending on how you look at it). <br /><br />The Week is sometimes a good summation of news for news sake. <br />But remember - ANY news outlet is going to have some teeny tiny angle to it. So just take EVERYTHING you read with a grain of salt...including what I just said. <br /><br />And good for you for checking up on something you weren't sure about. Curiosity leads to knowledge! <br /><br />SCSUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04261556610653423999noreply@blogger.com
