Where's My News?

                Thinking about where I get my news is a little strange.  I normally look at national news as opposed to local news.  I’ll normally be watching like Fox News or CNN when I’m interested, but my interest comes and goes with the political season.  I do often find myself tuning in for the Daily Show and the Colbert Report.  They’re lighter hearted than most news shows.  I just don’t really like how almost every news story nowadays is bad.  They’ll show happy things, like a new charity program, and glance at them for about five minutes, but they’ll talk about a murder case for weeks, months, or even years.  It’s just depressing.  I fell into a weird habit a couple years ago.  I used to watch Fox News while I played World of Warcraft.  I know it’s a weird combo, but I enjoyed it.  I felt more informed on current issues in the real world, but I was still enjoying myself in a fantasy world.  I've also been reading the New York Times since this class started.  I like being able to just glance over the top stories, to see if any of them jump out at me.  I also go to IGN.com for my video game news.  I like to stay up to date on big announcements in the video game and technology industries.  The technology news sights are probably my favorite news, just because I enjoy the material, and it’s always looking forward at exciting new developments.
