Do I read too much news, if I get through these every day?

1. BBC News.
2. Slashdot.org (News for Nerds - Stuff that Matters).
3. Financial Times (Really well-written and informed).
4. Irish Times (Shite - they think they are the intellectual newspaper of Ireland, but we just do not have one).
5. Wall Street Journal.
6. Bloomberg.com.
7. International Herald Tribune (really interesting and well-written pieces, methinks).
8. Fox News (no kidding - it is hysterical).
9. New York Times (although I almost always think it is a bit crap for what I expected).
10. Washington Post (new one, and still awaiting opinion).
11. BreakingNews.ie (Just crappy little reviews of news as it happens).
12. RTE News (Irish state television - like the BBC).
13. Al Jazeera (a bit dull and whiny though).
14. Forbes.com.
15. La Reppublica (this is a new addition, and I still do not understand most of the headlines. Apparently it is Italy's premier broadsheet).
16. Reuters.
17. Euronews.
18. The Economist (nice and centre-to-right right. I like this a lot, although I could probably be considered left).

So ur a fan of redundant info., or do u require several sources for confirmation?

The biases are fun. I think of each as a perception of the truth, and not the actual truth. Think of using a sequence of observations to estimate the mean.

being a news-reader myself, i say that that's a whole lot of truth u intend to perceive... the quantity is quite impressive, ill giv u credit for that.
