[Lemur]

Political Beliefs: Conservative on economics, liberal on social issues, pragmatist on foreign policy. According to those matrix tests, I score high on individual freedom and economic freedom, very low on authoritarianism and managed economics. Either a small-c conservative or a classical liberal, depending on who wants to do the defining.

[Mikeus Caesar]

Political beliefs: Leftist. I'm the kind of person who the moment he walked into Utah would have people screaming 'damn liberal' at him.

Largest news source: The .Org and the interbutts, obviously

TV News: Up until recently, BBC News 24. Now i watch the awful news on Aus TV, which is rather lacking.

Newspapers: A dire paper called 'The Advertiser'. I only get it for the jobs section. It's World News section consists of 3 pages on average. I used to get 'The Times', which was an okay paper.

[Csargo]

The only news I get is from the Org.

[Zim]

Political Beliefs: A bit right of center, or a classical liberal in the sense Lemur used the term.

I catch the news from BBC from time to time. Lately I've been a bit lazy and just looked through some internet news cites. Back when I interned for my country's State Department, I had access to translations of newspapers around the world (one of the jobs was translating the ones in the country I was in). I loved reading them, but can't access them from civilian computers and am not working for the government anymore.

When I'm not being lazy, I get news from NPR (National Public Radio) and both local and national papers.

Plus I watch the news on NRK and TV2(both national channels) from time to time when I'm somewhere there is a TV.

[Viking]

Political belief: Norwegian conservative (means slightly to the right)/center political



News source:

TV2 and NRK news mostly. SPACE.com is also an awesome news source.

Also read Bergens Tidende (paper) on a daily basis (always some interesting background information on hot topics).

[Louis VI the Fat]

Political belief: socially estranged fascist maniac.

News source: various cult game fora.

[macsen rufus]

Political slant: jaded and disillusioned

Main news source: BBC (which seems to get a good look-in across the spectrum ), "News of the Wierd", a motley selection of rabble-rousing biased/independent websites. I only read the jobs ads in newspapers

[Tribesman]

Well for a moment there I couldn't find one of my favourite news outlets , obviously the worldwide Jewish conspiracy had shut it down again ...but its up again celebrating MLK day in the way that only racist scum can .
V.N.N. ..no Jews just news

Well that must have started with a good idea somewhere

[Tribesman]

Well that must have started with a good idea somewhere

It is a good idea Frag .
I read Vanguard , see what news topic they are ranting about , then come here and see how long it takes for one of the usual suspects to start a topic ranting about the same story from the same angle....and you rarely let me down on that score

I would bet that you are the only one on these forums that would actually read that on a regular basis.

Way to go after straw men.

Lefties blaming jews for everything, what else is new? They are in good company anyway.

[Tribesman]

Lefties blaming jews for everything, what else is new?

So Frag you are obviously unaware of Vanguard news , which is ironic since your topics are often the same topics that they rant about .

OK perhaps you misunderstood one of their page banners I used concerning followers of Judaism , I could give you one they use about Islam instead you might like it .....but hey one banner sums up their mentality "Right and White"

I would bet that you are the only one on these forums that would actually read that on a regular basis.

Possibly , but given the number of posters who have actually posted links from racist hate sites to support their views I wouldn't really say that I was the only one to read such things regularly . Though of course unlike those that read and post the links to support their views , I read it to see how much nonsense they are spouting and how soon someone here spouts the same nonsense .

[Fragony]

Well I don't know it but it sounds like the type of site I don't visit, why do you?

[Tribesman]

why do you?

Errrr...its simple isn't it , I explained it twice already . Its to get a preview of what your next "its the Muslims" topic is likely to be about
