On line news sites, any suggestions?

[Pat Conlon]

Hey guys, I looking to bookmark some more web sites, so what do you enjoy?

Currently, for motorcycle news I use only 2 sites (I would like to add more):
1) Visor Down's UK site:  http://www.visordown.com/
2) Cycle World's site: https://www.cycleworld.com/

For motorcycle gear reviews: Web Bike World: https://www.webbikeworld.com/

Currently, for general news:
By far the best news site (that I know): BBC News: http://www.bbc.com/news/world
USA Today: https://www.usatoday.com/news/
CNN News: http://www.cnn.com/?hpt=sitenav
Newser: http://www.newser.com/
For Calif. news, LA Times: http://www.latimes.com/
For local news, The Desert Sun: http://www.desertsun.com/home/

For an alternate view point from the American Media, Al Jezerra: http://www.aljazeera.com/

For general business news, Bloomberg: https://www.bloomberg.com/

For new gadgets, New Atlas: https://newatlas.com/

What sites do you enjoy and why? Free is good, but if you pay $$$ to subscribe, the site has to be damn good

Cheers and thanks in advance.  Pat

Not cheap, but a good one...

Motorcycle Consumer News:

Free:

Motorcycle Daily

Roadracing World

And may I suggest, listening to podcasts? They come in handy, and can be interesting and enjoyable to listen to. And they're free.  

Here's some I like...

That's a good one....Thanks Dave!

Reading thru the Advrider site, I found this nugget: https://www.morebikes.co.uk/category/news/

For international news, I'm much happier reading thoroughly than wasting time with "people behind a desk" videos (I'm talking to you - MSNBC), so;

cbcnews.ca  and theguardian.com  The Guardian is UK and has sections under World to break down global regions of news if you want it.

Thanks Charlie, I agree with you 1,000%  I'll watch TV if I want a talking head sound bite video...
.....I want to read. I like background depth and references, something that seems to be missing in today's reporting.

Can't agree more. Can't stand the MSNBC talking heads show "Today Joe".
Much prefer the UK Guardian for the Brits take on all things American.

Ah yes what what, the BBC is a jolly fine news service and rightly deserves your number one ranking.

Worth joining just for "Jo Momma" and "Church, State, and Money".

I used to get a lot of info from this but they went off the air a long time ago.  I think they're called RT now... 


3CP1

Just noticed you asked for news sites, sorry.
Maybe you'll like them anyway.

[Pat Conlon]

Thanks guys..
Paul....that 3CP1 skit was a hoot. Reminded me of the early days of SNL. Zainey.
John... The garage journal site will prove to be very expensive....all kinds of good stuff in there.
There are several audio/video sites I frequent, also if not careful, can be very expensive.

Me thinks I'm just going to have to go back to work....(not)

Thanks again!

Try out Cyclenews. Since 1965, a great weekly publication.
