    I've already mocked this elsewhere, but here's a stellar example of CBC's brilliant reporting headlines: Police chase ends in arrest

    Really? Go on, tell me another one.

    ...and all this time, I thought "After Eden" was a satire comic. But after reading that wikipedia page, I know now it's definitely not.



    The horror.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    Hahaha, yes, I've seen that exact comic. I think the fact that it's serious just makes it more hilarious.

    Worse than if his last name were Bacon.

    I don't share your opinion but I can see how you might think that. What's this about it being serious? I thought the person was just retarded or a satirist o__o

    oh god my eyes!

    I mostly get my news from the internet, but I sometimes also catch them on TV if I feel like it.

    News on TV can just be really depressing, though. A big part of it is unimportant, unrelevant and uninteresting. It's pretty sad how much the media actually control what we hear about and what we don't.

    I only read BBC Sport really, any real news gets sent to my phone and I have no idea how that happens. My hobby these days is visiting the Daily Mail website and having a look at the e they're currently serving up, then if I'm feeling particularly masochistic, I read the comments.
    I love the Daily Mail comments.

    I check the BBC News website several times a day as I find it's the best news site around. Also check the BBC Sport site, mainly for football stuff. I'll pop the BBC News Channel on when I get home if nobody's watching television and on my phone I'll check the Independent or (to a lesser extent) the Grauniad (SPOILER)Fun fact: Latest news, comment and reviews from the Guardian | guardian.co.uk redirects to the Guardian website. I used to listen to Radio 4 a lot and still do so occasionally. If I'm getting the train I'll buy a newspaper, but normally don't bother. I also religiously check Political Betting as I find that's good.
