    I also like the Drudge Report on Sundays, it used to be that newspapers would publish their big investigative articles in the Sunday paper. Some still do but it's really hit and miss. Drudge will post links to those and it's always enjoyable to read quality investigative journalism.

    It’s about figuring it out for yourself these days, doing your own research. They all have agendas whether it’s left or right wing and usually involve half truths. It’s up to you if you are interested in the story to go search for the whole truth. It’s really that bad. Ideology and agenda, the news isn’t honest anymore and popular journalists fucking suck too. Journalism for the most part is dead

    I’ll glance at all the bullshit channels for shits and gigs every once in a while. Then I start thinking about how many dumb fucks actually believe all the stupid shit that I’m looking at. Then I laugh and go back to fuckin bitches an gettin money.

    I don't have much time, dribbling up and down the court all day, so I get all my news from CIA.gov.

    I figure, why waste time on liberal and conservative news outlets infiltrated by the CIA, when I can go to the source.

    For online news, I read RealClearPolitics.com.

    They post both views of an issue in successive links. I read them all.
