Re: Your chosen on-line news channel
By default I go to BBC.co.uk, but its starting to wind me up as much as the Daily Fail. Misleading headlines, repeated tautology, sensationalism, self-promotion...
From recent days:
Kate pregnant but in hospital with morning sickness. "but"?
The roof of the tunnel collapsed downwards onto the road. And there was me thinking Japan was a gravity-free country. And it was a road tunnel, where else was it going to fall? Plus, it wasn't the tunnel which collapsed, but the lining--a major difference.
Child arrests "continue to fall". The article gives details of figures which prove that the number has fallen--so why the ""?
Congolese army returns to Goma v US fines China nuclear exporter Those two on adjacent lines
On the other hand, it does allow you to dig deeper with some good analysis.
Where do you go?

Re: Your chosen on-line news channel
Probably predictably - BBC and Guardian are my usual news sources. Twitter does give pointers and diversity through tweets and I find things there that I wouldn't normally - yes in a news sense.

Re: Your chosen on-line news channel
Good point regarding Twitter. By following the right people (not a bunch of wittering imbeciles) you can pick up a lot of interesting/useful info, much of which has a link you can go to for more details.

Sky News (for headlines)
Guardian (for interesting articles)
The Sun (for entertainment).
Decided today to stop reading the Daily Mail. Apart from the bigotry, there are too many upsetting stories. They go too far
