I'll check bland sites like yahoo news or apple news for general things, if something catches my eye I'll google for more info from a variety of sources.  I go to the newspapers of certain countries whose politics I follow.  I'll do quick glances at Twitter.  I'll listen to WAMU on the radio for a few minutes while driving.

I cannot sit through anything from FOX, CNN, BBC.  No longer read WaPo or NYT.  I used to be a die hard NPR fan, but can't even hack that station for more than 10 minutes anymore.  I will watch C-SPAN now, it's the only way to hear things first hand without the media turning things into a circus show.

There is so much vitriol and hate from both sides and so much biased reporting on both sides.  I miss good journalism. I miss fact checking.  I miss showing two sides to a story and allowing the reader/listener to form their own thoughts.  I miss moderate thought altogether, while that may make for more 'boring' news stories over the sensational and emotionally catching ones, I would take boring in a heartbeat.

This x1000. I grew up with NPR playing in every room and every car. Today, I wouldn't dream of tuning. The Post is just as tendentious, and it goes without saying the major cable "news" channels profit by producing "products" designed to make their target demographic feel superior to an evil "other."

On this topic, Matt Taibbi's book "Hate, Inc" is an insightful read.[/quote]
