What is your news outlet?
April 4, 2007 - 05:12 PM

There have been a number of posts on the media or the news. Most of the US news is US centric and non-worldly.

So my question is:
What news outlet do you trust for your news?

Please list your country in your answer.

I listen to CBC for my news. This is the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and it's publically funded, which may or may not make it objective, but I think it helps.

They give good coverage of Canadian events, and they also cover international stories. I like to stay up to date on the local issues as well, and I find that this radio station provides that.

On the internet, I often check The Onion for news as well stick out tongue

I actually watch a bit of CBC news such as The Hour and then also read online versions of The New York Times, The Washington Post, and the globe and mail. I think it is best for people to read/watch multiple news networks so they dont get a biased view of anything they hear because as most of you probably know the media does manipulate a lot of the things they show.

In the Arab region, Aljazeerah TV and Al-Arabiyah have began to acquire a great of reliability among news followers.

In Egypt in particular, Orbit Channel has begun to gain considerable interest, with its daily program: Cairo Today, presented by the talented Amr Adib.

Personally, I like reading some independent newspapers like El Masry El Yom, El Dostour, and Sawt Al-Ummah.
