Where do you get your news?

News is all around us, with local and national newspapers (I loved getting the Washington Post every day when I was with NSF), weekly and monthly magazines, and local, national, and international news broadcasts. But what we get in the US is immensely sanitized and US-centered.

So - where do you get your news? Let me suggest that at least once you go to someplace you had never thought of: the official Kazakh news service. It's probably less different than you might think, but at least it's not US-centric and maybe it's even got something interesting that you'd never find on CNN or in the Post. Have fun!
