Online News Sites credibility

Some of us are accustomed to news just being about propaganda, politics, music or crime. Well this can be one aim of some online news sites.However, there many news outside these leagues. Personally, I like the propaganda (excitement) sometimes but it can become boring and monotonous,for example, Britney Spears doing this or that, this rapper using the n word or the b word; you get the drift.
I like to read new information. As a parent and a student, I am always interested in news about development in education, baby world, teens, or new developments for teachers.(Sounds like a nerd, right?) I view news(online) on NewsFlash5 sometimes. This site has mainly encouragement for teens. It provides assistance to parents and teachers. This site assists teens and children overall in understanding current events and other societal issues and how these can impact their lives. I am also grateful that teens cab have access to a site which caters mainly to them with conscious and relevant stuff. It's very educational too. I encourage those of you who have not yet visited the site to check it out at http://pbskids.org/newsflashfive/about.html. My son loves this site!
One other online site I depend on for news is YAHOO!News. (http://news.yahoo.com/). Well, my homepage on my PC is set on YAHOO. Therefore, I automatically see news from this site. I read news here sometimes because of it's convenience to me.Apart from it being readily available to me, I tend to find the news there honest because most times I can go check the information at other sources to back up YAHOO! news.
Another news site I visit for news is MedicineNet.com (http:///www.medicinenet.com/script/main/hp.asp). Yes! There is medical news and educational news! I am big 'peever' of health. I am always interested in any health news. This site offers important, valuable information on the latest news about health. Being that we are humans and not machines, it is worth our while to be aware of the new diseases, regular food contaminations, diets, exercises,etcetera, so that we can try to keep healthy. The news on this site can be confirmed by varieties of health professionals or other health media. The use of this site for news about health helps me to save money because oftentimes we visit the doctor and PAY them to LISTEN to our problems or just to merely answer a simple question about our health! Many parents can also use this news site to get information about the child's health or the latest information about health issues which could possibly affect their child. Adults (like me), are always watching out for the latest news about how to improve my sex life ( Yes, I said SEX life). There's always something that I don't know yet.(The latter is worth trying because you can TEST to see if you get positive results).Check out this news site even if it's for the sole purpose of the latter.Enjoy!
