    Question How do you get most of your news?

    Inspired by Cassius's comment earlier today, I wonder what sources everyone uses to learn what's going on every day.


    Love Morrissey, but hate most Morrissey fans? Then this is the FB group for you.

    The BBC. Most days I pack in a couple of hours of 5 Live, Radio 4 etc. In the mornings I get a fix of sports banter on Talk Sport.

    I also read The Guardian and The Observer (though I sometimes swap the Observer for the Sunday Times). Occasionally I flick through the Manchester Evening Stormtrooper and wish I hadn't bothered.

    The Metro is the Daily Mail's bastard offspring.
