I don't have all the URL's because my dead computer ate them, but for a
couple years I routinely with morning coffee looked at CNN, BBC, AsiaTimes,
IndiaTimes, NyTimes, Washington Post, LA Times, Ha'aretz, Jpost, Arutz,
Al-Ahram
(Egyptian), Reuters AP, and Al Jazeera. I thought if I got enough
perspectives on an event from a diversity of sources, I might find some kernel
of truth.
I finally had an overdose of "news". I still am subscribed to a handful
of mostly left-leaning news services (CS Monitor is one I recall the name of
clearly) -- but under a different sn and I can't remember their names
accurately enough. I might forward the url's from there, though. I still
look at
Truthout occasionally, and The Nation, always at CNN & BBC to see if there's
been an event I want to research more objectively.
I'm keeping your post as "new mail" so that when I have empty time on my
hands and am bored (hah) I can take a look at the sites I'm not familiar with.
I too would be interested to know what "news" sites people are accessing.
Btw, as tabloidish as it sounds, I also look at Yahoo's most e-mailed
because I often find there significant events that CNN & BBC don't put on
their
front pages -- then I can research those if I'm interested.
Oh. NewScientist is another one -- it's great. Fascinating stuff.

routinely scan. -EY
