I've been watching a lot of lectures from TED.com
If people don't try to obtain different perspectives of the same occurence and make up your mind that way, then how are you not as bad as someone who votes for a president by judging to see whether or not they are a good drinking buddy. Hell I'd drink with him, I bet he'd be fun.
I'd say most if not all of us are moderate, it would be ridiculous if I voted based on what I am registered as. Which by the way is nothing because I'm not even a citizen YET!
Huanmic, i agree with you that people should seek out multiple sources in the aim of a more thorough understanding of an issue, but i wouldn't call limbaugh the equivalent of something like npr. simply because his politics are opposite, doesn't mean he qualifies as a reputable source of information & discourse. i think you have to consider the politics of the source but also the quality.
i agree with what you said above, though, that people should obtain their information from multiple sources--people living in a free society have the right to access multiple sources and forms of information, and if we don't take advantage of that to edify themselves, we are fools.
Huanmic - i respect the fact that you can listen to Democracy Now AND Rush Limbaugh - just don't let your head explode!

Only magazine I've ever had a subscription to was Motorcyclist magazine, courtesy of my girlfriend.
radio:
AM right-wing talk radio. It's amazingly entertaining as long as you don't take it too seriously. Though right-wing up here in Canada isn't even on the same map as what I've heard in the US.
TV:
Daily Show and Colbert, for fun. I only get two channels anyway, and no time to watch, regardless.
Where do you get your info?
