3 Good Online News Websites
Just as I mentioned in the last blog of mine, I really do not read the news nor do I look at the news online nor on television. However, I three of the online news sites that I find objective, honest, worth reading, and somewhat appealing are the New York Times online site, the ABC News online site, as well as the Fox News online site. The one out of these that I probably like and have viewed the most is http://nytimes.com/. I have viewed this one the most and probably like it the most because I had to look at this website for my American Government class last semester. Otherwise, I probably would have never even attempted to look at this website. In that American government class that I took, the professor forced my class to look at the New York Times website at least once a week because he would give us a quiz over something that would be on that website every Wednesday. He would do this to keep us up to date with the news that was going on around the world and not just in one area or state, like New York or Georgia. This website does a good job of not only providing information on news that is going on around the world, but it also does it in a way that does not distract you too much from the content of the website. It does this because this website might not be one of the most appealing news website on the web, but is provides some good information in a way that may be boring to some people. However, it was perfect for me because I can get distracted very easily. It is especially easy for me to get distracted when I am doing something that I really do not want to do, such as looking at the news. This website may not be good for all people because of its lack of a visual appeal, but it was just fine for me. The next news website that I will discuss is http://www.foxnews.com/. I have only viewed this website maybe three or four times at the most. The reason why I chose this website is because I like the Fox News that is on television. If I ever do watch the news, it will be Fox News. I would because they present the news in a way that catches my attention and joke around with it a lot (especially the early morning news). The joking around with the news is all right with me viewing the news just to be looking at it and not for an assignment for a class. As for the Fox News website, it is a little more visually appealing that the New York Times website. It seems as though the Fox News website covers more information about celebrities than the New York Times website does. That is what I like about the Fox News website the most. Last but not least, I will discuss http://abcnews.go.com/. In my opinion, this is the most visually appealing website of the three that I mentioned. This alone would make me want to view it. It seems as though this website pays a little less attention to celebrities than the Fox New website does, but more than the New York Times website does. All three of these sites are great to look at if you want to know anything about the news. Basically, if you want to see strictly the news of important issues going on around the world, then look at the New York Times website. If you want to look at the news as well as some entertaining and interesting things going on in the lives of celebrities, then look at the ABC news website and the Fox News website.
