I used to get my news from great sources, I knew it first. Been awhile since I've gone to any of those places though. I know what you mean though, a shitty video isn't worth the news imo.
I get my news from a wide variety of online sources, and I like to form my opinion on things after reading a few articles on the same issue. Recently though, some of the websites like Yahoo.com will post news articles that are video-only, with no written portion. This angers me. I then have to wait for a tiny video to load in bad quality and watch ads first. I understand why they do it, but I wish I could just read over and article and move about my business. I think it's actually faster.
I feel news isn't delivered as efficiently as it could be.

I haven't heard / read an unbiased new report in ages and am too lazy to read multiple articles on the same topic to formulate my own opinion of what's really going down. It would be nice if someone had a news site, that collaborated multiple news resources into one area so you could read 3 articles on the same story from 3 completely different views without having to have different tabs open for each.

That's a pretty cool idea. It may be possible to create some sort of RSS feed website which combines news articles from different sources.
There's no such thing.
I don't stay as up to date with the news as I used to. I used to read the paper every day (mostly at work), but lately I've done very little. It kind of rubs me the wrong way to know that I may know about as much about what's going on these days as some vapid teenage slacker, but not enough to do anything about it.
The same is not true with gaming news, however. I keep very up to date on that. I read G4, the Playstation Blog, Kotaku and IGN everyday and sometimes I get to Gamespot, EpicBattleAxe and Destructoid. Oh, and I used to read gameindustry.biz before it required an account to read full articles.
Until now!
I use the website of my newspaper, and another affiliated with it. Because there are only two national newspapers in NZ, and the one I read is localised for my city.
I will read international news online, but only about specific issues, after a Google search. I won't actually hang around the websites.
I also find American news reporting odd. It's always laced with superlatives and other devices that want to present an image when I prefer facts. I remember reading something to the effect of saying that NZ's newspapers were determined to be among the least biased in the world. Which is pretty awesome, and with experience of international reporting, something I'd agree with.
I think it is true to say that there is no such thing as unbiased news. But you can have more or less bias.
I tend to read BBC News, since it's also the network I get news from when watching television.
I've read that the BBC is one of the least biased news networks in the world, since the licence fee means that every person who owns a TV in the UK has to pay for it, they really can't get away with anything deemed 'unfair'.
From what I've read on BBC America, the news covering the states is pretty unbiased as well, but obviously not as comprehensive as American networks.
I've also started to get annoyed with some of the more "top end" news agencies reducing their written news segments while increasing their video clips. I can see why, they don't need someone to re-write a story when it's been video taped, but still. I don't want to WATCH the news clips, I want to read it. Reading it usually has a LOT more information about what I'm trying to find out about. Sorry I subscribe to some ancient phenomenon called reading.
I don't like it either.
But then again, I don't really read/watch the news often. Too depressing. I try to stay up to date with current events, but I skip over all the death/destruction/devastation if I can. I dislike the media's shock tactics to get a story.
Is that a RSS subscription or a Youtube Channel subscription?Sorry I subscribe to some ancient phenomenon called reading.

I think it's called books... it might be short "o"... Bohat? I'm not sure... but it's supposed to be entertaining.
Bush has been teaching our class... she's the best so far.
RSS feeds = boss. Though I'll admit that regarding news, I primarily see it through my Fark, WSJ and photography feeds.
I completely skip over video shit though.
