I make no bones about it, I am not fair and balanced. I believe in
certain things and I therefore am biased towards them. I am rational
though. I don’t just take things for granted or ignore the issues.
Personal Responsibility and Choice are the two most important things to
me. People must have those two elements in their lives. One half is the
person’s part, the other is the government’s.

Where do I get my news?
Internet

Mostly Google News, and Drudge for news. When I want to find out about something, I use Wikipedia.

I know what people say about Drudge, they say he is biased (he is),
they say some of his flashes are gossip (they are), some even say he is
gay (what does that matter?), but the fact remains that he is very
to-the-second on his stories and has a lot of good finds. Google News
is the only non-biased (or perhaps the most biased) news site on the
planet. Everyone else can pretend to be, but Google News just returns
what is the most read news stories on the web. It is done be the
computer, not people with an agenda.

Wikipedia is just about the best site on the Internet for information.

Besides those two, I read the BBC, Fox News, and CNN.

That is where I get my news. For my column choices I mainly read
Town Hall and Boortz. For my daily does of anti-left medicine I read
Allah is in the House and LFG. Cartoons? Excellent, excellent is Cox
and Forkum. Also good is the Canadian Filibuster Cartoons.
Radio

I hate 95.6% of the music on the Radio waves, I I mostly try to
listen to talk. I mainly listen to the Eagle 93.9. Here is their lineup:

# 12 AM - 5 AM: Coast to Coast AM - Never really get a chance to
listen, but when I do, it is kooky, wired and entertaining (which is
it’s purpose)

# 5 AM - 8 AM:Griffin and Company - I like him a lot. Very libertarian, sometimes bumbling, but good local show.

# 8 AM - 11 AM: Glenn Beck Show - The best radio show ever.

# 11 AM - 1 PM: “The Radio Factor” w/ Bill O’Reilly - You may hate
him, but he makes the points. You always think when you listen to him,
whether you agree with him or not.

# 1 PM - 2 PM: Neal Boortz Show - Very libertarian, very
entertaining, very good show. Listen for a week before you complain
about his one.

# 2 PM - 5 PM: Sean Hannity - I will count my life well lived if I
don’t listen to this man ever again. Shrill and blind he is.

# 5 PM - 7 PM: Amy Miller - Voice is very, very annoying the first
few times you listen to her, but it does grow on you. Excellent new
comer to the talk radio game.

# 7 PM - 9 PM: Michael Savage - Hmm how to describe - Like O’Reilly
on crack… Porn for your ears… Train Wreck… hhmmm…. What is
known is that he makes outrageous statements, sometimes has good
points, but it is like fishing meat out of soup you don’t like. He is
entertaining - keeps your attention. Also has the absolute worst
website out there for talk radio. Heck it is hosted on Homestead for
crying out loud.

# 9 PM - 12 AM: Phil Hendrie - Funny guy, his is a fake talk show.
Most people don’t get it at first. Good stuff, sometimes get stupid,
like the time he pretended to go and shot of the chin’s knee caps.
Other times it is pure gold, like when he did Art Bell.

I would like to listen to NPR have a hard time finding stations, or
catching programs, a lot of the time they are playing classical music
(I think). I mostly listen to this when I am traveling a long ways.
They are like the anti-Reilly and anti-Savage. They act like they know
it all, sound quite condescending, etc… I do enjoy listening to them,
but as the cartoon above says, the are sometimes boring.

Update: I now know that you can listen online to shows. I am doing so now.
TV
I don’t have cable or satellite, so no TV for me. Just movies with Meredith.

Print

Don’t do a whole lot of print, but this is what I do read.
USA Today - Sometimes at work, on lunch
Wall Street Journal - Same as above
World Press Review - I subscribe to this magazine. I love it. Basically
it is a collection of articles from all over the world on certain
topics that the editor chooses. They have a great sampling of cartoons
the world over. They are Canadian, I think, and they try hard not to
let their anti-American bias spill over. For that I am very proud of
them.
Discover - Been getting this since I was a kid. I absolutely love it. Great sci. mag.
That is pretty much it.
