According to Reuters, the latest We Media/Zogby Interactive online poll shows an increase in Americans who get their news primarily from the web. Of course, these are people already online and who voted. Therefore, any results do not provide us with a causal relationship. Regardless, there are some take away messages.

I prefer to read major news sites and supplement the information with talk radio and talk television. But I have to admit that the talk television is really bad. The presenter bias is extremely annoying and makes listening that much more difficult. Online - I just click and am gone. On television - I just click and turn it off. How do you receive your news?
