My News Source,

to be honest, is almost all "fake" news. In the defense of the Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report, they typically contain more political news stories in one half hour than the "real" shows on CNN, Fox, et cetera. They keep me more or less informed on what's going on, and it's easier to deal with the obvious liberal bias of these shows than the subtle, corruptive bias of Fox and MSNBC. I don't have cable at school so I stream them at http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/. Although sometimes I like just completely fake news, and for that The Onion is fantastic, found at http://www.theonion.com/. While the stories are fake, the social commentary is very real and I find it entertaining as well as enlightening.
