In lieu of reading the Sunday paper, instead, for the last three months I get on the web and seek out stories that interest me- as opposed to, say what the LA or NY Times might want me to read. I still visit them, but they are simply a few of the freckles on this time worn face of newsworthiness.
What are my other sources? Bloomberg, news aggregators (e.g. Real Clear), Yahoo, blogs- the regulars which I visit point out stories that I otherwise might have missed, and expand them, examine them, for bias, BS, and intent. See the sidebar for a few you might not already know, I’ve made a note to update this first chance I get.
Sometimes pieces like this interview with Harlan Ellison (Part 1, Part 2) are entertaining, enlightening, inspiring, and make much of what is considered newsworthy seem like so much flotsam and jetsam.
Just the perspective I need on a Sunday morning.
