4. What sites do you read for news?

In case nobody has noticed, newspapers are disappearing.

If you have a better list of media that they should be reading in order to figure out what is going on in the world, then maybe you can suggest that list to them.

Maybe there's something I don't understand here, but the CIA used to employ a lot of people for no other purpose than reading newspapers.

Is there some problem with the government looking at various media sites for "situational awareness" - i.e. trying to figure out WTF is going on in the world?
