    www.gazette.com my local newspaper online
    www.bangordailynews.com my hometown newspaper online

    If I can I watch Shep Smith on Fox news at 6pm, he is my favorite. If not I just read whatever I can online.

    From DH. I get too stressed if I watch the news so he generally tells me what is important. I do watch the local Fox News morning show and get the snippets, but most of it is fluff so it's okay.

    I don't watch any t.v news. I guess I would if we had cable but we don't so I don't We don't take a paper either.
    I get all of my news from the internet & radio. I also read some news magazines at the library.

    We don't watch a lot of tv so I miss the news often but if I do watch I like to catch Shep Smith on Fox news too!! We do get a local community paper on Saturdays and I pick up the Sunday LA Times but mostly for the coupons and ads!!

    I frequently click on the yahoo top news stories links. I also listen to a.m. radio. As for t.v., I usually watch Fox News. The t.v. is usually set to Fox when I get home so I listen to most of the programs. I also tune into MSNBC. In the morning, I flip back and forth between Fox, The Today Show, and Good Morning America. I just turn it on when I'm getting ready for work.

    I subscribe to the local paper and read it every day. I get some news from other papers around the office or emails and chit chat, some radio in the car. That's about it for me.

    We would watch mainly fox news and dh would look things up that where "news" to find out the "facts" before taking it in. we don't do much news now though ,at least I don't, I can't deal with "bad things" , violence or too much "action", anything "scary", I guess this is a common issue with people with severe brain injuries you just can't "tolerate" too much brain "stress" . Not necesarily a bad thing though

    ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC and Fox. I really miss Dan Rather on the CBS news. When I first turn on my computer AOL informs me of the headlines. I subscribe to the Sunday newspaper and when I am travelling for business, which is pretty often, they usually deliver USA Today and The Wall Street Journal to my hotel room.
