    I am surprised by the numbers using EuroNews perhaps I should have put that in instead of TV3.ie. I don't know why I put that there TBH.

    RTE, Breaking News, BBC, Irish Times.

    Im not fond of RTE that much, their website isnt really up-to-date and I find the past articles a pain when looking up news

    I use breakingnews.ie and irishtimes.ie for Irish news, as well as a blog called Irish Election. For world news I use the PostPartisan blog on the Washington Post website and also guardian.co.uk

    VERY much others as the rest are all working for the media tycoons interests

    After many years swopping and changing and doing most all medias including radio Moscow in the communst times or even sometimes recently the China TV or Arab news media I have found all the normal medias to be somewhat lacking .

    The Arab media did steer me non Arab to see ehtere was a high risk that western media is is seriously biased and didtroring the truth

    Then came the Internet and a chance to go find the real media not owned buy the press barons

    For me the mother load is to be found out there so I dont have time to waste on much normal media which doesnt supply the real facts

    For me now my top favorites in this time from ROI
    www.info-wars.org

    http://www.wiseupjournal.com/


    and the international

    SEVERE warning clicking on these links in your lunch break surfing from work if your working for lots of USA based outfits often it will incurr a instant your fired.
    Thats how dangerous these real media outfits are to big corperations so click at your risk that you might find out what you really need to know before you find out too late the real news

    www.infowars.com
    or www.infowars.net

    www.prisonplanet.tv


    The difference is they take the todays and past news from around the world show why the news is like this today .
    Then they predict what will happen in the short and long term future and have a excellent abilty to predict the future results

    now thats the way to do a real press as no press barons seem to own these guys :pac::pac:

    Frank Hall defined the economist as the guy who tells you where you went wrong when its too late

    The media listed in the poll is the media they feed you in the three card trick so you only find out what you really needed to know when its too late

    I look the other media listed in the poll sometimes but rarely as interesting proof of a biased historical media even fresh of the press

    At home, I'd use Irish Times or rte.ie. We've got our own intranet site in work and it has a breaking news section which is really good, so when I'm in work I'll just use that instead.
