I really do try and get a grip on what's going on in the world today. I like to be informed, as any intelligent person would like to be...
But it's so hard nowadays when most medias sources seem to have so many agendas... ::)
The UK newspapers... well, you've got The Daily Mail (scaremongering crap for permanently terrified middle-class folks), The Guardian (some interesting articles but so far to the left that it's in danger of disappearing over the horizon), The Times (duller than week-old dogshit and aimed at people with far more money than we will ever have) and The Express (I genuinely can't think of a single thing to say about it...)
Please, let's not talk about the red-top tabloids... comics that just care about 'slebs' and whose ******* who...
As far as the Internet goes, you've got BBC news, which is OK, but bland and uninformative... and Sky News...? One word... Murdoch.
I'm sure that there are plenty of decent news sources out there, I've listed the main UK ones... but then again, you can't trust the internet... anyone got a unbiased source of news out there? :(

-
Watch the national and local news before I go to work and usually once I get home
Also get a surprising large amount of news on Facebook

Telegraph and independent. Truly despise tabloids, the Mail and Guardian. I wanna hear news. Not a political slant.

I tend to skim through The Guardian, The Independent, Al-Jazerra and Huffington Post websites and treat each equally cynically but between those you can pick up an idea of what's really going on. You just have to learn the "language" of each one, disregard the opinion/angle they come from and you generally get the gist of stuff (it's amazing/frightening how differently the same story can be reported). After all they're all really just trying to sell us their product.

There's a pretty good newspaper in the UK called 'i', which is only 30p and gives an unsensational news view... just started reading it and it's quite good...

The internet on publications that are not run by conservatives. Such as fox news if ever i want to read it. I try to avoid it because it really saddens and angers me.
