I would have to work out who to follow on Twitter, which is kinda the same question over again...but I'm not gonna start using Twitter any time soon. I'm good.

This is going to sound weird--how do you get Google News? I use it as research on a topic, to say what the spread of sources says about something, but it almost always going to multiple sources, many of which I don't know how do judge without evaluating one at a time. You just click on news.google.com and read the different stories from different sources? Then you still have the "Do I trust these people?" question, right?

Matt Damon is not listed as being in Bourne Legacy. Unless he's a cool cameo they're hiding, they're kinda cheating by using both his name and photo in the trailer.

Go to Google; click News.

Yes, but the fact that you can see the top line or so from multiple sources helps sort out the outliers.

Honestly, I usually hear about news first from social media (here, FB, twitter), unless I hear about it on the radio as I'm getting ready for work. Then I might google whatever it is, and because my internetting habits are what they are, google generally sends me to the NYTimes first.

Kinda interestingly, I only see one place saying the idiot Co shooter claimed he was patterned after the Joker and noting that his red hair not how the Joker rolls.

The local news here mentioned both. I should see which ticker feeds their national news.

Theo, good news!

was burglarized while he was sleeping last night.

Holy crapola. I would be pissing myself.

Yeah, I would pee myself, too. Thank goodness *he's* alright, though!

Okay, no. The local paper's website uses AP news, and they did NOT mention the Joker's hair is green. One local TV station's website also uses AP, and they DID mention that although the shooter colored his hair red and called himself the Joker, the Joker's hair is really green.

I'm wondering if it's a later version of the story that got corrected by the AP, or if the TV station's editors corrected it.

Vortex, did you see the craziness with your biker post to Good Stuff?? 30K notes!

Whoa, seriously? That story just touched my heart, I wanted to share the generosity of people that would stand guard outside of a child's house at night so they wouldn't be scared. They are so amazing.

Same here. Depending on what it is, I'll hit CNN, BBC, local papers or google.

Hubby just suggested that if there had been someone with a concealed weapon in the audience, then it wouldn't have been so bad. I countered with "pity the poor people in the crossfire", he got pissy, I said "We're not going to agree on this" and left the room. I wonder how many times I'm going to hear that line of reasoning around here in the next few days.

edit: off duty cop with hopefully training, OK. Random paranoid gun owner who is waiting for the opportunity to play hero, no.

The thing I read about the Joker bit was that his hair was red in honor of the Joker's disguise in TDK when blowing up the hospital. But that still makes no sense. Too much air time and rush to have something to say/write with too little information.
