And now I'm adding a few others to my daily list:
- Alternet, an aggregate of alternative presses and online news--read an interesting article there just yesterday about growing up in the Christian Patriarchy and Quiverfull Movement
- Yes Magazine, which tagline reads "Powerful ideas, Practical Actions"--it's supposed to counteract all the above (and below) negative news with more positive stories and suggestions
- and, occasionally, Mother Jones
Where do you go for news?
I was thinking of adding The Economist or the Guardian to go with the BBC for a non-American slant. (What do you think, Lambeth?) Though, maybe I should read the WSJ or National Review for the conservative take . . .
I do not read either, not because I think they are poor, they are not but because they and all newspapers, daily or weekly seem to be written for the 25-55 age group, often using expressions foreign to me by referring to e.g. Harry Potter (you do the same). Consequences are I miss many of the main points as well as numerous nuances. The Financial Times is good for serious news as well as the financial stuff but is too expensive for me, my loss. I forget who owns The Economist but the Guardian is broadly independent and as such probably gives a good opinion and reports well, I will ask Stephen, he reads it daily. Being mobility restricted certainly allows you to read widely, I expect to see you published within a few years. Seriously.
