Do you pay attention to the news and current events? If so, what are your sources?
For TV channels, I like RT. I avoid Fox News like the plague. Don't really care that much for CNN or MSNBC.
As for the internet, too many sources.
I don't read anything on Yahoo.
And the only newspaper I read is my college's newspaper.

Daily Show, Colbert Report, Conan.
And of course word of mouth.

Don't watch TV. It's a waste of my time.
I read Yahoo most frequently, and dabble in ABC, CNN, and MSNBC from time to time.
I used to be a voracious newspaper reader from 6th to 11th grade, but I eventually stopped because the papers started getting really poor quality. They kept cutting sections out to save costs, thanks to readers migrating online, and eventually I just stopped buying them. It wasn't worth the money.

Tumblr always reblogs whatever's on the news anyways, so I don't really go out and solely seek out news.

I use yahoo to laugh at the comments. Articles either contain comments by total idiots or smart people in disguise.
Other than that, it's a personal google news feed for me

Yahoo's comments are interesting. The ones on the political articles often make me see red, but some comments on other articles can be quite clever.

Don't watch TV. It's a waste of my time. Neither do I. Though I still get my fill of RT online.

What is RT?
I think my biggest problem with TV--aside from the fact that reading is much, much faster--is that none of them are politically neutral. I rather like how Fox's idea of bringing "different viewpoints" on TV is often bringing Ann Coulter and Laura Ingram on to debate with one another. As my dad once pointed out, it's like watching Hitler argue with Mussolini.
Of course, that's certainly not unique. Complain about Fox what you will, but the others are just as bad.

Russia Today, an international news network. They broadcast a lot of unmainstream news and the interviews they have are great.

Interesting, non-mainstream news. I'll have to check them out. I get tired with the usual media outlets because they rehash constantly and beat things to death.

The Onion is the only news source I trust.

The Onion is the only news source I trust. There is nothing quite so simultaneously hilarious and depressing in life as the reactions of people who are unable to discern that the Onion is satire.

I rarely bother following any single news source, as I'll read what I get. I just take whatever the media says with a grain of salt, and if something catches my attention, I just do my own research.
But if I have to choose, I like Russia Today and CNBC. They do some interesting pieces from time to time.
