Fass, whatever he says is my answer. That poof! I can't stand him, but must agree with him nevertheless. We should all gang up on him. Yeah, all on Fass! Make him beg! Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket!

If Fass says it, it must be true!
No, really, Fass is my source of news. This would explain why I have no friends...

I chose Other, and am using that other to posit Myrth as my answer in direct defiance of your not putting Myrth as an option in the poll.

That said, I only get my weird/political news from NS. I get all my other news from India Daily (http://www.indiadaily.com/) or Pravda (http://english.pravda.ru/) because I am insane and like to be kept up to date on what other insane people have discovered about the war on UFOs and Yuri Gagarin's space boner.

I thought it was a joke at first.

P.S. I am fed up with the Myrth Option, down with Myrthian Tradition!

You get "The Critic" in Sweden? :p I figured Jon Lovitz would be big over there, dunno why..

Anyhow, no, I don't get news (strictly) from NS.. I usually check CNN and/or DrudgeReport first, and my startpage is MSN, so I get their Top 3.

What? Pravda? Oh no, friend, Pravda is the most amazing source for news about the superior quality of Yuri Gagarin's space boner when compared to the techniques that American astronaut's have to use. (Wish I remembered where that article was).

You can't control me. I do what I want.

We got it on this little, out of the way channel for a while. Me being as cool as I am, of course I watched, but it remains, alas, a very, very obscure reference here. Jon Lovitz is basically unknown.

Yeah but you keep squirming to much. Stop moving so we can gang up on you. Make you beg? Nah, you may enjoy that to much.

NS: News with the far-out liberal spin.

The answer is "Good Lord, NO!"
Soheran
26-10-2005, 05:38
No, most definitely not.

The General forum does not cover nearly enough news for such purposes.

It does pick up some fringe stuff, though.. the Nazi Twins were in General a full day before they made the mainstream news, for example.. so I got to hear about that crap twice.. eugh.

By the time I see it here, I've already read it somewhere else.

Generally, yes and no. I hear US news from NS, and British news from the telegraph.

Now and then someone will see a story before I do and post it here and I'll dig deeper into it. So I guess sometimes I do get news from here, though not as a primary source.

Not normally, but once in a while I will hear about a certain news event because of a thread on NS before I'd heard of it elsewhere.
