1. Do you primarily read or watch?

Read and listen. I watch the 6pm news maybe once a week.

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

Well, the newspaper I read every morning has quite a strong bias towards the left side of politics (especially the opinions page). The radio reports just the headlines and doesn't editorialise, so I think it's a more balanced, if sparse, account

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!;))?

Normally things that fit my view. I don't read/watch the news to get angry :P

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)?

No, and I mostly stay out of the political debates here as I have no idea what's being talked about most of the time (and it mostly seems irrelevant to me 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, mainly for the laughs.

I don't think there exists a site where semi-reasonable comments exist, as the anonymity of the internet means most people are much more extreme in their opinions (and there's always the trolls of course).

I have nothing to add. I just wanted to be included in this thread.
