This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
I was debating whether or not to stick this here, or the Serious board, but I want a general over-view of how people think and the information they approach. This isn't a discussion about personal beliefs or the validity of such, just your willingness to approach sources which may disagree with you (so things like newspapers, forums, magazines, videos, anything).

So, do you keep to sources already within your sphere, or do you look around for more perspective?

There are three immediate examples which come to mind for me: the BBC, the Daily Telegraph and Stefan Molyneux.

BBC - very pro British when it comes to supporting the armed forces and British foreign policy
Irish News - leans towards Irish Nationalism
Guardian - their film critics are snubbed nosed pricks who don't like anything that isn't artsy or oscar bait.

emigrate or degenerate. the choice is yours
Sky News is a pretty unbiased news outlet. BBC tends to lean slightly to the left when reporting news apparently.

Slightly?

It's one big Paul Krugman circlejerk.

Not exactly, it's only left leaning in the sense that it's not right wing at all.

OT: Occasionally.

I sometimes suffer through reading the daily express at my grandparents but it doesn't do a whole lot more than make me roll my eyes at blatantly obvious xenophobia and scaremongering. It's not much better than the Daily Fail but there are some parts of it that catch me by surprise in their 'leftness' Such as telling Israel to go fuck itself. Politely of course, but still that's quite an interesting thing to find in a conservative paper.

I can't say I agree, but I don't really care enough about the Big Black Cock to argue the point >.>
