We watch Fox, ABC and the local news Dog and Pony shows. 
Finally gave up on the local newspaper. 2 1/2 pages of news and 2+ pages of sports.
No longer printed locally witch means any thing that happens after 3 PM doesn't make in the morning paper.
Well the TV people are all over it, so by the third day it's old news.
Also, they wanted $385.00/year to subscribe to this rag.
Edit to add: I do use some internet sites, none regularly though.

I can't stand the commercials and, from what I understand, Rupert Murdoch's sons has taken FOX way left. Get my news from Shep Smith, Chris Wallace, Neil Cavuto, et al...give me a break. 
I much prefer to read the news and seldom have tv on. Some like tv for background noise, I absolutely hate it.

I like news.google.com AKA Google News. I think it picks up everybody, and you can skim through easily picking out what you want to read. Apple’s news app is pretty good, too.
I try to read a variety of sources, with biases across the political spectrum. Too easy to get locked inside one political view for everything under the sun if one stays with limited sources.
I believe a, if not the, major reason for the polarization in our country nowadays, due largely to the internet, but cable TV as well, is that people tend to read, or hear, or watch views of the news that they are already inclined to agree with because that is all they read, or hear or watch.
It’s the proverbial vicious cycle.
I like to point out that I don’t agree with anybody all the time.... including myself.
