- Google News
- I find that Google News is the best source for general
news of all kinds. There's the top stories, then world and
U.S., business, sports, tech, and entertainment. The home
page gives the top stories in these areas. and then has links
to hundreds more from different sources. And the access is
quick, like you'd expect from Google. Of course, when you go
to the linked sites for the stories, that is not Google.
But, if you want news of things that happened recently,
Google is not the place to find it. As an example,
there were the shootings at Virgina Tech, killing many
people at two separate times, 2 hours apart. Google only
showed headlines and articles about the first shooting,
killing one. And this was an hour after the second series of
killings, of over 21 people. I went to other places, like
Yahoo News, and CNN news, and my local TV stations, and they
all had the latest news.
- CNN
- CNN, like the other network sites:
ABC ,
NBC ,
CBS,
FOX,
provide you with the major news stories and breaking news.
They are also trying to be portals, so that there is
more to them than news.
I like ABC the best.
It appears to have the most, with the best layout.
Major links on CBS have a background color that hides what
the links say.
NBC has tried to push some software onto you in order to
use certain parts of their site, even if you are not
trying to access that portion.
- The Why Files
- There's news and then there's 'What are they talking
about?' The Why Files helps you understand how
things happen that you read about in the news, by presenting
the science, math, and technology behind the news. It's
really a good place to go to better undestand much of what
you read. It's presented by the University of Wisconsin.
- World Net
Daily
- An online newspaper published by Joseph Farah
that says it is 'committed to hard-hitting investigative
reporting of government waste, fraud and abuse'. There are
plenty of news and links to articles on terrorism and the
Middle East. Joseph Farah is an Arab American who is also a
weekly columnist for the International Edition of the
Jerusalem Post. As a Christian Arab, he is one who
understands the dangers of the Palestinians and the Islamist
terrorists to Western society.
- News Hub
- For the latest news try the News Hub. They say
they ' integrate and report headlines from the
world's premiere news sources every 15 minutes.'
- World Press
Review
- Find out what various newspapers around the world are
saying, second hand. This is not a link to articles in
papers, but a discussion of what is being written. Suppose
this is more of a magazine. It is interesting to read
some of the nonsense coming out of the Arab press.
