C2′s News Sources
Clips & Comment is a mixture of links to the news and information items I read on the Web with the occasional post containing my thoughts thrown in for good measure.
The original source material I post as Text, Full Text or Transcript comes from the Web sites of the original authors or from established, credible news organizations such as CNN or the Columbus Dispatch. Most of this material comes from government sources such as legislative bodies, executive departments or commissions. Because there is so much noise in today’s television ’news’ – the place where most people continue to get their information – I think these transcripts and texts are important to disseminate. The more time people spend reading what others actually said the better. We are inundated with talking heads on TV providing analysis about what our leaders say, analysis which too often turns into partisan spin. I’m asked by those who know me and my blog why all the full text of speeches, etc. This is why. I learn more – because I actually think about what I’m reading – when I deal with primary sources I’m not dependent on someone else providing the entire context for the information.
At any rate, if you’re interested, here’s where I get the news that is at the center of Clips & Comment:
