What network would you choose to get your news from?

I did not say that I know what's going on; I said that I get a fairly balanced idea of what's going on.

Take the Occupy movement, for instance. After all the talking-head sound bites, all the noise, and all the action, I've determined that it's not about resolving issues. It is all about people wanting to be heard so that their feelings can be acknowledged - nothing more.

Same for the current group of GOP candidates - all except Mr. Romney are there to be heard (for the most part), without actually offering any viable solutions (for the most part).

In the last week, I've added Der Spiegel to my reading list. It makes for a more fact-oriented perspective on the news, rather than a mere rehash of someone else's opinions (FOX), or an apocalyptic religious perspective (Trinity).

I used to listen to the BBC world news service, but I've switched to Al-Jazeera lately.

I like the New York Times and Economist too.

I do not watch TV particularly often, but I find that C-SPAN is the most informative, and CNN has the best programming (esp. Zakaria).

As for worst news sources, I vote for either Russia Today or FOX (comedy central beats out both).
