Well it's hard to answer this one...I moved here from Houston back in August, while I have some friends here I don't see or talk to them every day. Almost my whole family (I am the youngest of ten) are in Houston, so aside from my two kids I don't watch or go anywhere with "adults" so don't get to share my opinions on issues too often,I usually just talk to the TV. LOL I did call my sister in Portland during the state of the union address on Wed. she is not a big fan of our president for many reasons, which I can understand but don't totally agree with. So, we did we did react differently on that some issues.

Well, I watch Good Morning America in the mornings, then check the web for anything that they said that caught my interest (mostly politics) I do not watch local news cause it is depressing. If I think it may rain, I will watch the news for the weather forecast, but switch back and forth so I don’t catch anything else. I watch PBS sometimes, again usually when they talk politics, which if I am not mistaken its most of their news coverage. When I hear people (at the store, co-workers, friends, siblings) talk about things and depending on what they say and how interested I am, I will “Google” it and try to find things that are not bias to see what they are talking about. I also get updates from United Farm Workers, and Southern Poverty Law, which again are political/human rights issues that interest me. I think there is always a difference based on who is telling the news, be it because of the news station, paper, or state/city where it’s being told. I try to stay away from any conservative websites, FOX, or reporter who I know makes comments I do not agree with. I also do not watch local news to see who broke into a house, car or stole from a little old lady. I figure crime has no zip code, so you always have to be alert and aware no matter where you live. The only other news I watch is ESPN – Sports center, I like to watch football, and some other sports (mostly football) so like to see where some of the teams stand during the season.

Wake up every morning and check Yahoo account, turn on the TV watch it while I get me and the kids ready. Listen to the radio in my car, just music as soon as the radio host starts talking I change it. There are yard signs advertising political views, yard sales, and carpet cleaning. I pass up billboards for restaurants, campaign adds, car dealerships.On occasion I will forget to change the station and hear a commercial on the radio talking about campaigns or restaurants or upcoming events in San Antonio. Watch some TV when I make it home, as I get ready for class. Check my email and Face Book account before I start cooking(not proud of it, but i do it). lol
