I was wondering what news people watched on telly, I generally watch channel four but thats more because its on at a good time for me. Do people have preferences with their news? I look at Google news too but sometimes the stories don't change much when I know there must be new news, does anyone know good news websites? Thanks for any opinions?

Now that I'm back at home, we tend to eat our dinner in front of the news, and so we watch whichever one's on when the meal is ready. I only like watching C4 at 7pm when I've already seen a news that day. I prefer only to go in depth, once I've seen a general bulletein, as I'm impatient! :-)
Personally I prefer Sky News most of the time.
If you're interested in breaking news etc have a look at this site:

I prefer http://news.bbc.co.uk
Sky news tend to report things quicker, but then sometimes get things wrong. I think the BBC research their facts a bit more before putting them up.

Peahead - isn't all news slanted in someway? Surely what you're reading is as much someone else's propaganda as the BBC/C4/CNN/Sky is government propaganda?! Given the troubles between the government and the BBC recently, I think it's fair to say that the BBC is NOT the government's play toy as much as might previously have been presumed. And CNN and Sky etc have never been government controlled... have they?
no January bug, peahead has a point, the news is more contrived than an episode of eastenders. for a start, how can you have at least 3 different tv news companies, and always they share the same headlines, because they all use the same sources (reuters, etc), why not try investigatitive journalism, or looking for stories from scratch, if that was the case their headlines would be completely different, but having journalists sniffing around as wildcards wouldn't do any good for a government now famous for propaganda, 'sexing up', and 'spin', it just wouldn't fit in! anyway doesn't 'bbc' stand for blairs broadcasting corporation?
