I tend to use Sky news online and the BBC website a lot as I tend not to watch the news on television.

I haven't bought a newspaper in years.

I can honestly say, I have no real interest in the news. Don't buy papers, don't watch the news channels. I've the attention span of an uninterested amoeba when I try and watch/read.

Damn! I was going to ask your opinion on whether or not a successful negotiation on Nukes in Iran would favour Cameron in any devolution debate.

the times for me paper still some quality journalists such as Matthew Syed

the 24 hour news is lazy as it only picks one or two stories and goes into over kill mode.

I look at Sky Online News fairly regularly. But have found out stuff from the forums, certain posters will put their own slant on it though, usually the same ones so I tend to disregard it, and look for myself.

Lots of different sources from Newsround to Newsnight, the FT to Private Eye - not all every day though.

One thing which strikes me looking at the online versions is that the 'most read/ commented on' stories almost always concern football, footballers or 'celebrities'.

Is this really what the nation has come to?

Yep. Miley twerking was the top story and things that affect real people dropped to page two or three - or further back into international news.

The Guardian site's great, though they supported libdems at the last election

Sometimes the BBC site, and occasionally some tv news, a couple of times a year.
