Would anybody recommend a neutral podcast? I currently subscribe to BBC World and it is not bad.

There is no neutral source of news. They are all biased one way or another. You'll be fine as long as you can identify which way the information slants.

I seldom watch TV, just for talk shows indeed.

I prefer newspaper in public transports in order to read comment pages, and net where accessible to get lastest news.

I have mine delivered daily on microfilm via carrier pigeon.

Internet mostly.. I used to read the paper a lot.. However now, I don't have a lot of time to read the paper. So I get my paper fix from my favorite paper's websites instead!

As for talk radio.. I find for the most part, talk radio is biased.

They do a good morning round-up of the key stories from papers across the country, Canada, and Great Britain while (God Bless em')trying to insure that there's a liberal POV.

If nothing else it gets the blood-pressure up to start the morning. Also, their links to other resources remains top-of-the-line, last I checked.

It's not only the carbon footprint that you need to worry about

Never mind, lay old newspaper pages on the floor to cope with that eventuality.

My daily source of news is from newspaper but reading in the internet is also an alternative especially when I go to the cafe and open my e-mail ads and check the WAB..

Sure. I hit a handful of Townhall.com blogs every day - Hugh Hewitt's site, Powerline, Captain's Quarters, Michelle Malkin, Little Green Footballs, and National Review's The Corner, plus a few others. They link to lots of other sources - mainstream, devout lefty, and others.

I listen to the local conseravtive radios station for info/entertainment - Prager, Medved, and when I can, Hewitt.

It's all through a Conservative filter, but they're not pretending otherwise, unlike CNN, the NYT, BBC, or NPR, for instance.

Reuters is hopelessly and haplessly in the bag for the pan-Arab pro-Palestinian movement, and AP isn't much better.
