Actually, ever since Memeorandum has been getting overloaded with political minutiae, I've been relying on Newsnow.co.uk more and more for my information. And have I sent out our Iraqslogger accounts to everyone yet? I can't remember. We should probably start focusing on that. But I hear you, portability is not something that I am overly concerned with considering that I'm either at my office computer or on my laptop on my couch. Or a time sucking one.

It's the only paper readily available to me that has a 30 page A section everyday with stories from everywhere. When I do bring my laptop with me, my favorite web source is the UK's Guardian -- another print media outlet. Someday blogs will be at the point where their reporting can match up to the print media's, but for right now it's only the print media that has the organization of reporters around the world setup to get stories out. It's what the blogosphere relies on for its content. I'm perfectly willing to rely on other sources, or even do reporting myself, but.. As far as that's concerned, it's all about the $$$. Journalism can be an expensive hobby.

I don't want to sound snobbish, I just don't have the patience for it anymoe, plus, it leaves a lot of clutter. Naw, Krugman just kind of went insane and decided nothing Obama ever says will ever satisfy him. Oh well. I can’t even read print media.

At school, I get the weekly edition of NY Times for free if I get to the dispenser soon enough before all the copies are gone. Let's just say that I'm not hustling to that dispenser Monday and Friday -- Krugman's days -- anymore. (Though regardless, I rush to the dispenser anyways because the Times always goes first, it has the most news, and the other three papers available -- USA Today, Boston Globe, and the Republic, which actually is the name of the local rag -- suck.)
