News Sources.
Hi folks.
Where do you all get your up to date news from? I pretty much have the BBC news website open 24/7. We don't have a TV at home so other than the web it's Radio 4.
Do any of you have any other good, non TV sources please?

I rarely watch government TV. I get all my news from blogs.

Any good examples? I am interested in urgent news updates rather than commentary. Are there blogs about that do this too?

RE: News Sources.
Not really. All I visit provide commentary on events. There is no breaking news they rely on the papers websites for that. Then they add perspective.
For breaking news I'd look at connecting to the RSS feeds from Yahoo and Google.

RE: News Sources.
We have a tv but I rarely watch it I prefer to get the news off the internet as depressing as it is

RE: News Sources.
the TV is rubbish these days, mostly old repeats, i'm only interested in Ray Mears programmes, thats why we've just started watching The (original) Survivors DVD...we bought a box set.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

I've looked everywhere for the dvds but with no luck, where did you manage to get them if you don't mind my asking

RE: News Sources.
We gave up on it a few months ago, my fiancee grew up without one, her mom doesn't have one and I was resenting the fact it sucked our lives away. Plus it's rubbish mostly, anything I have any specific interest in, I can watch it streamed. Other than that, I would rather be outside.

we got them from a magazine that sells BBC stuff, but they are available on ebay and Amazon now.
