read news
where do you guys go to read about current events?
- websites
- magazines
i find Time magazine sometimes hard to digest since you have to know background information beforehand and some news channels apparently are biased? (not sure, for some reason ppl don't like Fox news or something?)
in school sometimes the teachers passed out like "kids" versions of Time magazine or something that people can subscribe to that was very informative and explained it more in terms that younger people can understand.. if anyone knows what i'm talking about lol

Newspapers are best or the Web sites for daily papers. The BBC Web site is essential for world news. CNN.COM is written so anyone can grasp it easily.
Magazines and other sites tend to gossip and sensationalize and they are not "hard news" or a good source of the kind of news outlet your teacher wants you to use. Your local TV station ie: CBS, NBC, ABC 6 p.m/11 p.m. broadcast and the 6:30 p.m. World News on all three networks is in a way any viewer can grasp it as is Anderson 360.
FOX NEWS is run by republicans and slanted towards their views and some of those viewpoints are very outlandish or based on Christian fundamentalist or Born Again, Evangelical views. Fox NEWS is where you'll find Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Rielly et all.
CNN is more of a broad view but very liberal and aimed at people who likely voted for democrats like Barack Obama. Everything they present has a liberal or democratic bent to it.
Try reading The New York Times, Washington Post etc. online and watching regular newscasts that's how you'll be able to understand TIME.
