Re: Where do you get the majority of your news? jh Send a noteboard - 10/02/2010 05:26:09 PM
1. Do you primarily read or watch?


Read local news, watch the news programmes at times on tv, and occasionally I listen to the news on the radio. I do read news online, but that is not very serious stuff, and generally about op pieces.

2. Everybody may fudge on the question, but do you think that show/site/paper/mag/etc is biased or reasonably fair?


... I trust the radio source and the tv ditto somewhat. The newspapers have a clear bias in some direction. On the other hand, I want to get the bias in some cases... to see how the evil side reacts.

3. Do you find yourself reading/watching things that fit your view, or do you try to pick other sources to make yourself read/watch something you find less pleasant (be honest!;))?


Well. Honestly, I do not really care so much. I am pretty much trained in looking through the top layers of bias in swedish politics, and when it comes to world, it doesn't really matter, because over here it is rather streamlined. I might check out a foreign source when I think they have better coverage, though. And I also listen to tom when there is something russian in the works - even if I think he has a somewhat prorussian bias. ;)

4. Other than read and find out, do you contribute comments to websites (having to do with news, political debates, etc- not exactly talking youtube here)?


Not really. I want to at times, but can't really bother that much. I react mostly at factual errors, anyway...

5. Do you typically read the comments, regardless of whether you participate? While we're on the subject, can you name a site where one can generally find semi-reasonable comments?


yes, and not in english, no.
