[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you commute to work? Listen to NPR. They have the news. Or get the NYT app on your phone. You can scan the headlines easily.

I've had my share of stressful events in my life, and I've found that it's not lack of listening/reading news that makes me appear uninformed. It's the fact that I somehow develop amnesia surrounding a stressful event. I remember the event, but whatever else was happening at the same time just disappears!

NPR and NYT are two of the most heavily biased news sources, they are hardly solely "fact" based. They will tell you things, strictly from their interpretation and both will be incredibly selective in what they tell you in order to feed a narrative, rather than facts. The decline of both as reputable news sources has been quite sad. But it is what it is.

I find the overseas presses slightly better in being more factual rather than biased. And Bloomberg is better and more factual than NYT/WaPo and especially NPR. [/quote]
