What are your favorite online news sources?

I've ran out of time in the day (all day) to read anything more!  We're all turning into SVOL's just to process all this damn information!

SVOL? I tried looking it up but wasn't finding anything in 45 seconds.

That's because you forgot to use the forum's search function.

SVOL = Sedentary Vat Of Lard

It is a completely unserious term I coined last December in a response to Desert and modain a thread about intermittent fasting.  MG must have liked it because he started using it like it was a real thing.

Gotcha thanks for the info. I work for the military so everything is in acronyms, even though most of us don't know what the acronyms stand for. I could certainly see the U.S. at least continuing to lead towards SVOLs for everyone.

24 million watched the FoxNews debate last night! I think that they spoiled Jon Stewart's farewell event on the Comedy Network.

Some biased leftist journalists like Bruni praised FoxNews for the hard hitting questions in the debate. Do you think that they might incorporate some of that in their reporting on Obama and Hillary? Not a chance.

Seems to me all main stream news sources are biased, leaning to some degree on various topics.  An insightful exercise is to note which organization one feels is not (or the least) biased.  The bias of that organization tends to match one's personal bias imho.

Free Republic is a good source for news.

Huge caveat though... It's hard right and very neo-con both in terms of whats posted and the commentary (some of which can be a little fringy). Reub would probably love it. Actually I'd be a little surprised if he has not already found it.
