I get my news from many sources, but, yeah, probably mostly from the NYT. I do check out the NY Post or Fox News online, if I see a story that looks like it might be "spun" a certain way. On TV I only watch local news, supplemented occasionally by France24, BBC and The 700 Club(!), to give me broader viewpoints.
You take it all in, and that's where the critical thinking happens.
EDIT: I don't want to sound this preachy, so I'm quitting this line of crap. I just got frustrated.
