Where do you get your news from?

[Lazortag]

I've been a regular reader/watcher of Al Jazeera for a fairly long time. I'm not sure what makes it "superior" as a news source though because I haven't tried many others, except the BBC but their website layout is so ugly!

Just curious, what benefit does reading multiple news sources have?

well see, lazortag, in america and other western countries we have something called privately owned media companies. these privately owned media companies, such as the one owned by rupert murdoch, have vested interests for many different reasons. in order to best protect these interests (money) they spin news stories in beneficial ways. i hope this has been informative to you. have a lovely day.

I'm aware of what makes a really bad news source, I'm just not sure why some people prefer one legitimate news source over the other, apart from shallow reasons (like why I prefer AJE over BBC)

Theres no real way to answer this without being cheeky... Its because there is different articles coming from different sources [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So for example, if you were to stick only to BBC, you would miss the details of the US diplomatic cables that The Guardian is publishing.
