Best news sites on the web.

Post Reply New Topic

Hello, every day I try to find and read as much 'real' news as possible. Most news is 'NT' garbage stuff about lifestyles, sports, recepies, fashion trends, ect, ect. I have always liked ideas. New ways of thinking about things and the world that will challenge me to think. Not much of this is available in the mainstream media these days!

(Note: not so crazy about this site now that Morningstar owns it.)

"Best" is such a subjective test.

A very brief stroll though PPR will demonstrate that there can be a huge amount of chauvinism among supporters of different sources of news and information.

To me it doesn't so much matter where one gets one's news, but rather how one gets one's news. At a minimum, news should be read with two principles: diversity of sources, and critical reading.

Divrsity of sources: Read news stories from multiple perspectives. Read the papers that you disagree with, so that you understand what the "other side" is saying. Read foreign coverage to understand what international audiences are reading. People who limit themselves to a single source of news, or to multiple sources all drawn from the same editorial bias will, perforce, have a more limited understanding.

Critical reading: Always be aware of the biases and prejudices inherent in the source from which you are reading.

Best News site on web is probably the Drudge Report.
