Lovelyish

I read the Economist, Time, Foreign Policy, lenta.ru, cnn.com, etc. But I’m an economist with a love for politics so of course I do.

lovelyish and datingish have all of my serious news needs covered. 

please feel the sarcasm. 

@MoonFaeEyryan@xanga - I used to love reading the Economist!  But their coverage of technology is way off, and then a friend of mine covered tech for them for a while and it got even worse.   The whole thing got me thinking that maybe their other coverage was equally bad, and I started noticing sloppiness in their coverage of the developing world.  So I cancelled my subscription.

The one thing I do love about the Economist is that it has a Euoprean bias, so it breaks me out of the American bias you usually get from the NYT, WSJ or other American news services.

@lovelyish – Yeah, I’ve considered cancelling mine too, since some of their coverage is so off, and well recently they made this article about Vladimir Putin that was complete crap, and well just obviously they were trying to sell a version of what’s happening in Russia that’s not true, and it made me lose respect for them since I live in Russia now, so I see what’s happening and what’s not. I just don’t know what to substitute it with

@MoonFaeEyryan@xanga - Yah, if they had bylines then I could just ignore specific writers… but they don’t so I had to just cancel them.  I do miss their table summaries of monetary policy on the last page of each issue though.

I’ve started following specific writers, like Fareed Zakaria or Felix Salmon (who can be dodgy, but generally gets called out in the comments on his blog posts).  I use the NYT for day to day news, but find its coverage of the developing world pretty weak.  The one exception is the Fixes column by David Bornstein and Tina Rosenberg, which I love.

I am thinking about taking the FT… a friend of mine is an economist for the World Bank and says it’s better than the WSJ (not the highest bar though).

A mixture. Most of the time c or d.

I have to follow news since I work as a journalist. That means all news. I follow international news but mostly papers from America, UK, Australia, Canada, Sweden, Italy, Norway, Denmark and Iceland.

I get my news through updates from CNN and the New York Times. I watch the news regularly at home, but it is unfortunately quite difficult when living in the college bubble.

They play news in the community room at my college. If I’m in there I can’t help but hear it and respond to it. If my boyfriend brings something up I’ll pay attention. Occasionally news interests me. Often not so much though. Usually seems so skewed and …seen before.

I read the BBC news site everyday, the local news a couple times a week, and I read interesting articles I find online too. I find the news/politics pretty interesting and important.

I keep up with most current events, but I try not to let it dominate my life.

I keep Google News as my home page and usually read a few articles whenever I open a browser. I read the San Jose Mercury News on my phone if I’m out. Apart from that, I mostly hear about stuff from blogs or Facebook.

If you have insurance, you might be lucky enough to afford whatever meds your ills require of you.  Our prisons are chalk full of people who really wouldn’t be there if they’d been appropriately medicated.  I have 3 autoimmune disorders and am bipolar, with auditory hallucinations, so my daily regime requires 16 pills.  After insurance has kicked in, I pay close to $1000.00 per month.  And don’t let anyone tell you the pharm companies need all that dough to mass produce their drugs.  It’s a lie.  They’ve got literally billions laying around for lobbyists.

I definitely follow current events.

I read articles on Yahoo news, watch local news almost every evening, and if I’m awake I watch CBS This Morning. I like keeping up with current events.

my work place offers WSJ newspapers so I’d grab one on my way out of work everyday – not really that broad in terms of news coverage, but it gives me my daily fix. always good to read something. 

learning to keep myself from getting bored…win!

I love to post good morning status quotes on my Facebook.
