What media do you use for news?

I'm really interested in seeing the numbers on internet and TV, so I spaced out on radio. Polls are worthless in general as Bruce will point out, but humor me here.

Internet and newspaper. I used to watch TV more, especially the news, but now I only watch it sporadically a few hours a month or so. I read the newspaper every day though and surf on the internet a lot so that's my main news sources.

Although TV is listed up there, I feel Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report deserves a separate category.

This poll sucks. I get my info from a lot of different sources. You should have used the multiple choice method.

Yes, I know. I guess you can't edit polls or I would.

Two local and regional papers, Natl Public Radio (the best, most comprehensive brodacast source I know of), some local TV, some Internet.

The poll is grossly inadequate since it only allows one response.
