Really? Because that's not what I heard from some friends of mine.

Yes. I haven't had much practicing making noises from other people's holes.

I heard about this poll at the back fence.

Poll: More Americans Getting Their News From Bev

Here in northwest Florida, one cannot trust the local TV or newspapers for news. They go to great lengths to protect their advertisers, meaning that about 2/3 of all corruption is never reported. At the same time, they pass off public relations reports as news, again, mostly from their advertisers. And then they fill their newspaper with almost every lurid, sleazy thing they find (Ft Walton Beaches northwest Florida news has it's own logo on Fark, and just as many stories comes from the Panama City News Herald). They balance this off with a heavy dose of local interest pollyanna fluff stories. Acutal informative news is less than 5% of all local news, and that includes the obits.

So we know all about the Junior league and the Octoberfest, and the naked guy who chased his wife through the Wallyworld parking lot. But the developer who is planning on building an illegal subdivision in the watershed to the areas only water supply, or the backdoor tax put in to pay for the parking garage for the county courthouse? Crickets.

If one wants to keep up with the local news in this area, the newspaper and TV ads are secondary to the legal ads. And one has to call their own circle of friends to get the scoop on whatever is noticed in all three of those anyway. I'm not sure whether or not this is common all over, but word of mouth is the only thing one can actually depend on for hard news in this area.

Where do forwarded capslock emails containing the word FARTBAMA fit into this?

NPR is the best source of national news in the States.

Which is why they're trying to defund it and shut it down.

/I prefer to get my information from word of snout.

Damn, came to mention forwarded political e-mails.

God do I hate them.

But I thought NPR really didn't need government funding?

/NPR really doesn't need government funding
//that's why we need to continue government funding for NPR

I get all my misinformation from reading comments on message boards, thank you very much.

I'm assuming, in the pew.
