Political Mayhem Thursday: The sources of your information
Journalism isn't dead, but it is changing. Those who remember a day when journalism wasn't commercial are imagining things, of course. Newspapers, radio stations, and television outlets have always been commercial enterprises. If anything, what we are seeing now is a movement away from commercialization, as the internet and the free content we find there displaces more traditional news sources.
Some people hate Fox News and seek to discredit it, while others do the same to media sources like MSNBC.
The truth, though, is that most people I know rely on several news sources which vary in their take on the news. For example, my primary news sources include these 4:
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune
NPR
Yahoo news
The Onion
What do you rely on to keep yourself informed?

Steve Tuttle's Newsweek columns are pretty amusing and informative.
And thanks to RRL, I know all about hippies and fake armies.

I'm happy to provide whatever news and information that I can in regards to both Fake Army and hippies. These scourges must be stopped.
