Default what is your best source of information/News???

msn, cnn, lcn, what is your prefered place to be informed about what's going on with the planet?! and why?

in Qu?bec we have 3 main sources of information, as we only have 3 local tv networks... looks like the newspapers are joined with these tv networks so we do not have seperate sources of information...

the quickest is the national broadcasting corp,. CBC/Radio-Canada... they have journalists around the globe, compared to the others who have to send their guys on site when something happen -- they usually have cnn or other global texts instead.. lol

LCN is for the people, Radio-Canada is for the intellectuals.. lol

We haven't had any valid news source, outside of local news, in the US for years. Ever since they have made them profit centers.
Best world news is http://english.aljazeera.net/
