Political News Question - What is your political news sources and why?

I am not a very active "political" hubber. I do have my political views, of course. I find that events (or the perception of events) seem to take place so fast (due to the twenty-four hour, minute-by-minute "news" cycle) that I don't always know how to keep up with the swirl of events.

I like to read history, start at the beginning, as it were, and work my way up to the present. This approach really helps me get a handle on things. But of course I do, vaguely follow the news.

NPR is satisfactory, though a bit conservative for me. I like a progressive radio station called WBAI (99.5 where I am).

As for Internet sources, I'll occasionally visit a website called GlobalPost. Com -- an online international news magazine and globalresearch. Ca sponsored by a Canadian outfit, the Center for Globalization Research, and so on and so forth.

But mostly I find reading books the most helpful -- I'm a reader and reading history really does help me orient myself in the news cycle.

I go to Drudgereport, then hotair. Com, and then to gatewaypundit. I know what bias I am getting and I take it with a grain of salt, but it is the bias that I lean towards.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
