1.) other news sites
2.) social media
3.) "guest" writers from news/blog sites
4.) their own staff actually watching any programming and/or monitoring events and publishing summaries

Newsweek had pretty much the identical "take" - Sonia Sotomayor’s Remarks Silence Supreme Court

I was originally going to use that but I don't like to have the same source multiple times in a row (had posted something from Newsweek earlier) or within too short a timeframe, and prefer to find a variety of sources for the same story.

Dismissing them because of their somewhat "tabloid style" headlines is a mistake because the current so-called "mainstream media" is now almost totally compromised, offering "bribes" and "quid pro quos" to stay in the favor of 45. So we are going to have to broaden our perspectives to find alternates to actually find out what is going on because those other, formally "trusted" sources, are either going to "catch and kill" the story or will delay reporting on it (either by claiming a "publication date/time" but not actually linking to it on their websites until a day or more later), or will skew it.
