Political Crossfire Forums

I haven't changed the way I gather my news in several years.

Almost daily...
I pop over to Seeking Alpha and glaze for headlines that might affect me.
I hit Google News that I customized to my keyword interests and industry.
Then, Drudge Report (to see what Matt has a hardon over today) I rarely even click the news articles.
Ars Technica, The Hill, Al Jazeera, Nautilus, and then a few boring local and industry news bits.

30 - 45 mins.

I've dropped Real Clear Politics, Foreign Policy, Forbes, The Economist, CNN, Fox, and MSNBC completely from my routine. I've also stopped looking at think tank "news".

What do you do?

Its almost information overload, and good to have fresh batteries in the bullshit filter. My conclusion is we need a storage for stupidity that is as efficient as the ocean stores wet. So far, Congre$$ is the best storage facility we seem to have.

In no particular order:

Bloomberg
WSJ
NYT
Reuters
The Guardian
BBC
FT
Axios
The Hill
Wired
Calculated Risk Blog
SeekingAlpha (here and there - too many Roubini's in the house)
The New Yorker

I've dropped VOX, VICE, CNN, FOX, CNBC, Marketwatch, Business Insider (Utter clickbait garbage), MSNBC, The Economist (But I still follow Ryan Avent), and other's I'm sure.

I get exposure to right leaning bullshit from op-eds at WSJ and The Hill and I also check out WSJ to see how they try to spin economic data (The many wonders of our newly reformed tax laws).

i listen to npr, read reddit, but it has a tendency to make mountains out of molehills, and i read the economist in print on the shitter. i used to read drudge but that guy has gone off the deep end

I read hot takes on social media in response to news stories I haven’t read and then reverse manufacture an understanding of what the news is based on that.

I follow Trump on twitter, chat to my Secretary and my barber, get yahoo! new alerts on my phone, and I read the church newsletter but sometimes it doesn't arrive in the mail so I have to call.

As a Trump voter I'm sure you all realize the fact that I can't read. Since I lost my hearing I am able to watch TV news but reading lips is problematic.
