i read nytimes.com almost everyday

also as a liberal, I'm always surprised that I enjoy Brooks the most

NYT is my favorite newspaper

>>242314

fucking Brooks is nuts though. I mean, I like him but at times I'd like to strangle him for being so dumb or overtly contrary.

just look at this article he wrote recently:

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/22/opinion/22brooks.html

"I support the Weak and Feckless Approach. Trust is based on mutual respect and reciprocity. If, at this moment of rage and cynicism, the ruling class goes even further and snubs popular opinion, then that will set off an ugly, destructive, and yet fully justified popular rebellion. Trust in government will be irrevocably broken. It will decimate policy-making for a generation."

i don't actually read the nyt for the news section shhh

>>242314
>liberal

Every day.

ITT Liberals

who still reads newspaper?

>>242360

can be online too, obviously

>>242311
No. Because The Guardian.

>>242446

I read the south Wales echo.

I'm an Ausfag and the IHT is part of my regular internet news look-up, with:

- ABC (the Australian BBC-type organisatiob)
- The Age (paper copy)
- BBC World News
- The Guardian
- Al-Jazeera

Occasionally I read for the lulz.
- Herald Sun,
- NT News (Darwin is a hilarious city),
- Xinhua/People's Daily etc. (hooray Chinese propaganda)
- Asahi-Shimbun (them wacky Japs)

I'm a news scanner so it sounds like heaps but really I don't spend ages reading the news.

>>242446
What this fine gentleman stated.

Is /lit/ /new/s?

Whoops

Same as -

1. Britfag
2. Don't give a shit about the 'real' news, so I only follow entertainment related news online.

I read the Guardian until I couldn't take the smug anymore. Maybe I'll switch to NYT.

novaya gazeta, kommerssant, newsru
faz, taz, spiegel
al jazeera, haaretz, bbc, independent, guardian
and monde diplo
depending on what and where is happening right now.

>>244020
Get the fuck out of the country.

Nobody reads newspapers anymore and I get my news from more than one source. New york Times feels hipster

etc

>New York Times
>WMDs

They are so full of b.s

>>244108
Might as well say the same to most of the population

I don't bother with the news. I figure that if something really fucking important happens (like, if martial law is declared), I'll hear about it anyways.

Other than that, who cares what's going on? It's the same old shit

>>244111
Who cares if something "feels hipster". What the fuck is a hipster

>>244120
As far as I can tell, a hipster is a person who accuses anyone who likes different pieces of pop culture of being a hipster

NYT is bullshit liberal propaganda. News is supposed to be objective not subjective. Fucking bullshit gatekeeping skewed bullshit. I hate all news outlets that have a fucking agenda which is all of them.

>>244148
but what about like, google news

>>244148

HERP DERP FACTS ARE BIASED

>>244151

Does it have a bullshit slant, opinions and value judgments? News should be "X happened" not "X happened and that is good/bad and this is how you should feel about it"

I read NPR, NYtimes, BBC world, and Al Jazeera (mostly to read about israel).

I read them all online.

>>244151
I thought google news used cited different sources

>>244160
I don't know. There are like subtle manipulation tactics that are hard to spot

>>244162
OH ok

>>244152

The way you present fact can be biased. Telling people how to feel about facts can be biased. Making value judgments about facts can be biased. Cherry-picking the facts that are presented is biased.


Dipshit.

I occasionally read The Chronicle of Higher Education. They have interesting feature stories every now and then, especially if you're interested in working in the education field.

>>244167
You want to throw some links up to all this unforgivably biased journalism? Or are you just projecting because they're reporting doesn't match the way you'd like the world to be?

>>244176

Pick any article by any American media source. Read it. There you go. If you don't see it. You're special. Look at fox news and cnn. They can both report the same story and twist it to mean to totally different things. How is that not bias? You're telling me sensationalism doesn't occur in the media? Gatekeeping? please, spare me.

>>244184
Aljazeera News is somewhat decent

>>244190

I've seen a few BBC reports that weren't terrible.

The newspaper I read brings once a week a six page digest of the Tribune. I usually read that but not more.

>>244184
There's some natural human bias inherent in all reporting, but that's a far cry from saying the New York Times is liberal propaganda. The Times is accused of being too liberal AND too conservative, depending on whose doing the accusing and what's in the news, so I'd say there's no *intentional* bias.

Fox News, on the other hand, is propaganda - not because of their slant, but because they manufacture news for the Republican party.

> couldn't take the smug
> switch to NYT

I like pasta, but it's so starchy! I think I'll switch to loaded baked potatoes.

>>244163
This is why you should all be watching Charlie Brooker's Newswipe. Its alot more in depth and scarier than Stewert but it is also the most fascinating education in journalism you will ever find outside of university.

Get as many Americans as possible to watch it, its marvellous.

>>244226

I don't have TV, but I get on BBC Iplayer every week to watch Newswipe.

Thank you BBC4!

Its also freely available on Youtube and ofcourse torrenting.

Media studies major 'portin in on the subject of bias.

The only things you fully "know" and understand or those things that you have experienced first hand. Everything else you think that you know is fabrication, for all intents and purposes.

This is because everything that you have not experienced first hand is a filtered view from another source. Since one source cannot view an event from all points (due to both its literal placement and how its own life affects its view on an event), there is no way to replicate an experience once it is passed. What is reported is a fabrication, a mere shadow, a poorly lit photograph.

tl;dr The only knowledge is experience, all media is fabrication.

>>244226
They showed a clip of it on attack of the show recently, we're making progress.

>>244280
Kinda like this, although you could probably explain in a wider context why this set of circumstances is often preferred by the population, due to cultural and political norms.

The more you read about current events, the less you know about them.

I want bullet points, nothing less, nothing more.
