Caller i am a uaw worker from upstate new york. I get my news straight from my union from cspan also. Host what kind of news do you get from the uaw . Caller anything that has to do with the work wastes. Economics and new organizing. The same is true for cspan. Host ralph, hang on for two seconds. I want to get your response to this. That is a comment that several of our Facebook Commenters have done. They do their own research. Caller i would respond that cspan is actual news, it is not opinions or opinion talkers like the other cable talk shows. Host that is ralph in new york. This is dan in asheville, north carolina. Caller good morning. Host whered you get your news . Caller caller facebook is one of my sources. I am so happy that i can watch cspan on my ipad. I did away with cable maybe four years ago. Host really, so you just get us to the ipad . Caller ive had to go without cspan and washington journal and now i can watch washington journal on my ipad. I can get all my news with the various news sites. Host what are your favorite news sites, dan . What do you go to daily . Caller i have a special search query on google news. Then i go to the English Version of the german magazine der spiegel. I will go to the state newspaper in south carolina. Sometimes i will go to al jazeera. I like to read the russia times. It is interesting. The russia times america section covers a lot of stories that are not picked up at all by the western press is. You get different perspectives on news that way. Host thank you for calling in this morning. Here is a little bit more from the study put out by the Media Insight project. Next call comes from maxine in new york city. You are on washington journal. How do you get your news . Caller usually it is cspan, but lately it has been msnbc. A lot of whites calling here and they get me stirred up at the comments they say. I live in harlem. A lot of white people live in harlem now. They are part of the community. When i see them on the train, i look at them with such contempt from all the things i have heard them say. I go home at the end of my workday. I watched Chris Matthews and sharpton, just to hear some of the whites that are not racist. I dont want to turn against these people, but they discussed me. I know they hate the president because he is black and he shouldnt be there. It shouldnt be like that. It is 2014. Host jerry is calling from austin, texas. Caller i get my news from all the sources. There are a couple that stand out. Cspan, obviously being one of them. There is a little podcast called the no agenda show. They call media assassination. They blow through the smoke. They really analyze the news from a different perspective. I dont agree with them 100 , but the no agenda show is pretty good. Host how do you get your news . You can see the numbers on the screen. Here is a chart in this study. Most americans use many media devices for news. You can see it here. This is the percent of americans using each Device Television is close to 90 . Laptop or computer is 70 . Radio, 65 . Paper, newspapers or magazines a little over 60 rate cell phone is around 55 . Finally, on the tablet the less than 30 of americans get their news in that way. This was on National Review this morning. The campaign spot, the president s busy morning. That is in the National Review this morning. This is in new york magazine. This is a missive he wrote about msnbc and some treatment by the media that he received. I want to show a little bit of this article. This is alec baldwin writing. Caller i cannot worry about the future of the country when the young generation doesnt really believe what they are getting over television news. Host what are some of your favorite news sites . Caller i watch all of them. I kind of scanned all of them and see what is being promoted. What the major stores are. Host ever find yourself doing independent research as well . Caller i do quite a bit of reading and have quite a bit of knowledge about things. It is disturbing the loss of credibility of the mass media today. I dont believe you really had this skepticism years ago. People basically believed walter cronkite. They turned on their news and they believed it. Today they really just dont believe what they are getting over television. Host david do you still get a newspaper delivered to your door . Caller yes i do. Host laura is calling from sebring, florida. We want to know how you get your news. Caller i watch free speech tv. I love it. It has good documentaries. It has good reporting and it is not backed by any corporation. So they dont have to be biased. They can tell you the truth. They are all paid for by our dollar. And cspan, i like to watch cspan in the house. I really like to go to the real facts. If youre going to talk about something, watch the senate and watch the house. Dont say i heard it here heard there. Watch it. Host thank you maam. These are the evening news ratings for the evening shows the evening news shows in the last week or so. This is from the numbers for the week of march 10. You can see here that i Million People watched nbc nightly news. Abc 8 million and cbs 6. 6 Million People watched those evening newscasts. Then you can look at the cable ratings as well. This is from tv by the numbers. The week ending march 18. Fox news, 1. 2 Million Viewers cnn 613,000 msnbc 400 2000. Msnbc 4002000 402000. Mitch from harrisburg, pennsylvania. Caller i get my news from pbs news hour which comes on at 6 00 third iwatch that for one hour. Then i will watch cspan every morning. Then i watch a lot of the cspan hearings or whatever you have on their, cspan1, that is. Host mostly tv, hot . Caller caller definitely. I was getting the harrisburg patriot for while, but it might be the front page or maybe a back page and that was it. The rest was all advertisements. So i gave that up. There is no good reporting here. Then i watched the local news and it doesnt matter what time of the day you watch local news, 5 00, 6 00, 10 00 00 or 11 00 it is just a repeat. There is nothing new. Host so, what is the solution . Caller i would say for harrisburg pennsylvania the solution would be to get some more hire some more reporters. Im sure people need more jobs. Get out there on the street. There are crimes. Theres a stabbing or shooting every day and they will keep running it and running and running it over and over. Basically, i get my world news from pbs world news and then cspan keeps me uptodate. I do have to watch the local news. Sometimes they might have a water advisory. That may be uptodate. It is just amazing. There and even say that enough on tv about susquehanna. They will talk about harrisburg or bishop or the catholic school. They dont even mention other schools. Host that is mitch in harrisburg, pa. This caller is from is david from todd, north carolina. Caller i like stations that cover all of europe, asia, africa. They give us an unbiased look at what is going on without any of the politics. Host what station did you say, david . Caller live station. Com. And then suspicious observer on youtube has great weather. Naturally, cspan is not quite as fluid as it was on youtube. Thank you. Host this is from pew research. It is about twitter. Twitter is a years old today. Tony in fort worth. How are you doing, tony . Caller very good. I get my news from cable television. I watch fox and msnbc as well. Host do you get different versions of the same story . Caller i get different versions and make my decision between the two. Msnbc is better as far as unbiased reporting. I voted for the president twice. But they are so for the president that i cant believe them. I certainly dont believe fox news. Fox news has some good reporting if they keep out there conspiracy theorists. The other morning i was watching fox news and they reported on the missing plane. Then they brought one of the contributors on and were claiming terrorism. That was not reported anywhere else. If they can keep out those they are pretty good reporting as long as they keep to the story. Im thinking back to the election, they had mitt romney thinking that he won the election so much that he didnt even prepare a speech if he didnt win. If they would just report the news and less make our own decision, they give decisions and set of news. I dont think that is a good ng for either msnbc or for fox news. Host tony, what to do in fort worth. Caller well, i am retired military, a disabled vet actually. Host how much news consuming do do in a day . Caller i watch morning news mostly. And that i might catch something on an evening to catch one of the late shows on cable. Al sharptons shows way too slanted for me. I think the president is a good man. He has made mistakes like all people make mistakes. He is not a perfect man. Host do you go to any news sites yourself like the fort worth newspaper . Caller yes. Host heres a little bit more from the media inside project. Americans go to reporting sources. Depends on the news topic. Sondra from massachusetts is on the line. Sondra, whered you get your news. Caller i read the local paper. I deduct what i can from that. I turn around and i get washington journal. So i sit and watch it paid iwatch the congressmen when they get in actions. I listen to the lies and stories. Then i listen to the people who have all kinds of mixed opinions on this channel, cspan. I cant believe how they come up with some stupid ideas. We should come up with our own thinking. Take and deduct what is truth from fiction. What is wrong with you people . You believe in fiction and lies. There are a lot of lies in paper and a lot of stories being told to build their thing. There are truths. Get to the truth of the matter and listen. People listen to your heart. You know what is going on. If me a break. Host obama invites bids. This is from the hill newspaper. Gail, fairhope, alaska. Caller i am from alabama. Host i am sorry. That is what was on the screen and i just saw alaska. Caller he is not one of my favorites. It is across the bay from mobile, alabama. It is the most scenic, successful, most wonderful town in the south. Host do you agree . Caller absolutely. Host well, donna. Whered you get your news . Caller this may sound corny. I am a graduate of the university of georgia, however, i get my International News on channel 12 nbc. From brian williams. I like him. I kind of believe what he says kind of. With a grain of salt. I also get my news from the mobile register. I give it three times a week now. Host really . Is that the morning paper . Is that the only morning paper . Caller for mobile, alabama, yes sir. Friday, sunday and wednesday. Tthe times pku in new orleans is also published three times a week. The Times Picayune in new orleans is also published three times a week. I read Time Magazine quite a bit and i watched cspan. I go to the library and read the New York Times lowes quote newspaper when i can. Sometimes a little bit in the wall street journal. I dont do internet because i am not savvy in that regard. I dont have any children, nor do i have anyone to educate me in that area. I do have emails. I get some smatterings there. I keep up with entertainment through entertainment tonight on tv. However, having said that, my disdain i live in the south obviously. We all know the south is no longer democrat. We know the south is inundated by republicans. I am almost afraid to vote and let it be know that i am a democrat by heart. Having said that, when i read the editorial page in the mobile register and read the commentary from some of the people in this area about people like hillary clinton, i cannot even read the entire article because of the sheer ignorance of the people. Nor can i i cant read the editorials, nor can i watch fox news. Host that is a lot of information you have given us. We appreciate your calling in. That is in political this morning. Alice calling in from cambridge, ohio al is calling in from cambridge, ohio. Do you have any favorite sites . Caller well, i like democracy now. I listen to it a lot. Let me give you a little history about my journey through the news. I started reading the paper at a very young age like six sixth grade, way early. I kind of graduated up through the news ranks on tv and wound up on pbs. Now, pbss most shows are partially commercialized, so that avenue has gradually gone down. I agree with a lot of the callers, but a lot of the news is just crap. It is not really news. Some subjects are not covered at all, like when like the Bradley Manning trial. He goes by Chelsea Manning now. Total blackout on just about anything, except on the internet host . Host do you use searches to find out what youre interested in . Caller a lot of times i will go on twitter and find out from a lot of people i follow or news people themselves. I picked up the links from them. If i want to look in deeper yeah, i do a google search. Host how much time do you spend per day looking at news, allie echo caller al . Caller in any conflict the First Casualty is always the truth. You try to find out a little bit about it and you go by your moral compass. You have to weigh and judge everything. Host back to the Media Research project survey. Haraldson, east st. Louis, illinois. Democrat. Caller i read the st. Louis postdispatch. I read the st. Louis american and the riverfront times. I read the examiner and the globe and the inquirer. I watch the sunday morning programs, and i watched cspan a lot. I do a lot of channel surfing. It seems to me that every time i switch the channel to cspan during the day, there is some republicans saying something about something. And then at night it used to be more balanced on cspan. It is to have right and leftwing. It seems to be, i guess it is the money. It is the way with the regular news and the newspapers. The talk about the sunday morning programs. Meet the press has been on over 50 years. And all that time i have been watching it, i am 68 years old all the time ive been watching it they have never had a black host. It never had a female host. How are you going to get a balance in news when you keep on having the same people in the place to ask the questions . Youre never going to get the truth because it is going to be biased. Look at how they are doing this president. He cant speak for himself he is a black president , but he cant have every time he nominate somebody he is knocked down. How does that look to the rest of the world . Why cant anyone else see that . That is why russia is acting as it is acting. You dont back this guy. He is sitting there as the president. Host bloomberg is reporting that Vladimir Putin signs lost completing crimea is accession to russia. Ralph, silver spring, maryland here in the suburbs. Caller i get my news from several sources. I get it from the Washington Post newspaper every day. I watch some of the msnbc stations and i watch fox news and i get from wtop radio. They send me something every day on their website. I get something from another news source. I get it from a lot of various sources. I would say i have heard a couple of the callers, maybe one or two who seem to indicate some sense that republicans did not like the president because he is black. I have to challenge that most adversely because ive never run across anybody that i know of that are republicans or that are white because who have criticized the president because hes black. It is always been policy and decisions. I just want to get that across. I have been around for 84 years and i grew up in washington dc during the segregated periods of time. I have no problem whatsoever with the president being black. I will leave it at that and thank you for taking my call. Host ralph, youre 84 years old. How much surfing do you do on the internet. Caller i do a lot of surfing on the internet for a number of pieces of information that i want. Host thank you, sir, for calling in. This is from cnn. Mark in carrollton, ohio. Whered you get your news . Caller i have dish network. I watch rt news which is the only Tv News Network that has no advertising. Therefore, they have no bias, opinions, they tell the truth. For example, last weekend they walked the streets of crimea for three days, interviewed dozens of crimea who were in favor of voting to return to russia, which they were a part of for four centuries. The good thing about rt news is they focus on the political corruption that is going on in washington dc they focus on the corruption in wall street. Host mike watches rt. Scooter in chief is the story. The president will be speaking at uc irvines 2014 commencement on june 14. That is the big story on their front pages morning. Here is from the hill newspaper. The dnc and rnc raised 17 million each raised 7 million each. Next call on where you get your news is ralph in wilmington, delaware. Ralph, whered you get your news in wilmington . Caller i get my news from the philadelphia inquirer. I subscribe to the american prospect. I watch cspan. I watch fox every now and then, but i cant deal with it too much, though. Msnbc are still my favorites. Host how much time do you spend consuming news everyday . Caller i am a news junkie. Horribly pretty probably three or four hours a day. Host do you use twitter or any social media sites . Caller no, i dont. Host a little more from the study on how we consume news. Rose harrisburg, pa. Hello, rose. How do you consume news, rose . Caller well, i listen mostly to fox news and i listen to abc news on channel nine on my tv. My husband is a democrat and i am a republican, so thats how the conversation goes. I love bill oreilly. I dont agree with everything he says, but i really like him a
