for those of you who read the newspaper...

[sidekick]

i read The Globe and Mail and The New York Times on a daily basis. i find that they both give a pretty objective report on canadian and american issues.

i don't mind The Vancouver Sun or The Georgia Straight, but i will not read The National Post (one of the most blatant and overly right-winged papers in canada) and The Province (which seems more like a tabloid paper than anything to me).

The Georgia Straight and the province for fun
i dont trust most thing i read in the newspaper the best thing to rely on in them is the comics, horiscope and sometimes the weather

i would agree that certain things in newspapers are difficult to trust, but the good thing about papers is that you can read a variety of them and get the different view points on all the issues, compare, and then come up with your own opinion.

that's why i like to balance my american vs. canadian views with the NY Times and the G & M.

I read the globe and mail or national post daily

I always pick up a georgia straight on my way to work on fridays and spend the day reading through it. Fuuck though, some of the writers for that paper totally piss me off.

oh, and i read fark (http://www.fark.com) religiously.

[charly]

i don't read them on a daily basis, but when i do it's the globe and mail, ny times and vancouver sun.

of course, it's always what i can get online, since i rarely ever read an actual newspaper (except on occassion i'll read the local ones which we get so many of)

I wouldn't wipe my ass with the National Post.

OK, so I wouldn't do that with any newspaper, but you get my meaning.

[sidekick]

^i do, and i agree.

[thebobman]

occasionally I'm able to snag one of my dad's Guardian Weekly newspapers from England, which is a compilation of the weeks news for europs top papers (including Le Monde, the Guardian, the telegraph and the Sunday Times) it takes a while to get used to the different style of writing the articles are far better written and are frequently insightful with a eurpoeen view of north american happenings

The only reputable news source around.

Seriously though, Globe and Mail/New York Times when I feel like a newspaper.

The Strait for a light local read.

[-ff-]

Online news is the greatest-
I go BBC, NYTimes, Globe and Mail, Google News, Guardian, and Drudge Report.

i thought that was a funny title, and then i remembered where i was

http://www.world-newspapers.com -this site will give you any news from anywhere - picking random countrys is interesting

http://www.palestinechronicle.com - always interesting, especially right now

[kandy kid]

I read the Province and Vancouver Sun, doesn't seem to matter which one, I find they always have the exact same content. Plus they are easy to read, I beleive the Province is written at a grade 10 level.
I just gotta copy of the Globe and Mail the other day and I can't even read it, it's too intellectual, maybe I'm just not that smart...I need to go back to school or something. :P

[Ree Fresh]

North Shore News? lol

I preffer the Gergia straight. It's free and isnt manipulated by the government.

Otherwise Illl snoop through the Provice if its lying on mom's coffee tabel.

[Partizan]

i dont read newspapers... dont really read much when i think of it

but the province and sun .. .doesnt matter which one u read ul still get the same bullshit cuz they're owned by the same guy/company

[*STARFISH*]

i read the sun daily
because its what my parents get
i think its a fairly good paper.
especially compared to the province...
and i grab a straight every thursday
even if i only read the entertainment section (and savage love. lol)

[C_squared]

I read the Vancouver Sun & The Province at work -- I really don't buy half the shit published in those papers. It's somewhat informative, and strangely entertaining (minus the global coverage -- that's just intresting all together)

I only read the Straight when theres a good story on the front cover... That and if there is a really shitty music review by Turrent that needs to be flamed via email.

[MissBehavior]

I go to Google News and read that.

The sites I seek out for the most "accurate" information are Guardian, Reuters, BBC, Globe and Mail, CBC, and (only if there's no other "reliable" sources) CNN.

PS -+> Al Jazeera's International page looks like a simplified version of CNN. *ironic roffles*

Totally agree on the fact that the Province is a tabloid paper. I do like the province though for its Sports Section, and for the fact that its just like a book.

I read the Sun on a regular basis. The only itch I have about it is the fact that the paper folds out so damn big.

[Spoon]

The National Post's Finacial section has better content and editorials then The Globe and Mail's Report on Business. So I usually end up with The Vancouver Sun and National Post. I find that the Province has more entertainment news then really news almost daily, its sad when you can read a paper in under twenty mintes.

[dapimpstress]

wow i dont read any of those.. i read the seattle times, the seattle P-I, the wall street journal, the business daily, and of course the bible, vogue... :)

I think most kids in grade 3 or 4 could read the Province pretty easy.

Other than that the Province, Sun, and National Post are all trash. I actually find the Globe and Mail has gone quite a bit down hill in response to compitition from the National Post.

For good content I like the New York Times, Guardian, Christian Science Monitor, BBC online, Al Jazeera, Washington Post, Economist, Hapers and The Atlantic Monthly. I read most of these online but do tend to pick up magazines more often than news papers.

Province!
