30. News: I get from a combination of sources

Wed Sep 18, 2013, 06:07 PM

Sep 2013

NPR - At the morning, when I drive to work. That is about an hour and thirty minutes to and from. So around 3 hours a day.
DU Links - If I wanted to see some affirming news and some semi-balance.

Google News - I get rid of my history and other things, and never log in to my google/gmail account so that it never saves my news search or otherwise. My reasoning, these bastards triangulate what news I look at. Which means, they filter out other things that I may find interesting or not of my opinion. If I wanted to be living in a bubble, then I'd put my credentials. Otherwise, I'd want to see as much as possible without self-affirming sites of people that have just the same views that I do. This goes for anything else out there. It ticks me off, and I blame FB for slowing down the internet with all the ways we are connected to FB, google and so forth, when logged on.

MSN Homepage - I see their headlines and click at what fits my fancy.

Yahoo - I think I will get rid of my looking at this place. Sometimes they have interesting stories, but their format has gone down the drain.
