So my rant is this.

My office spaces restricts access to many websites, not a huge deal. Part of my job is to stay abreast of current events across the globe, this requires access to news sites. For over a year the only news site we could access was Fox News.

Yup, that was it.

Now I can get to many of the newspapers and CNN but I cannot gain access to anything NPR related or even ABC, CBS, or ABC. But I can watch any program that airs on FOX. So I can't listen to Morning Edition but I can watch Glee.

I love where I work. I am behind on the news from time to time but I have entire episodes of Glee and Hell's Kitchen memorized.
Let me guess.. you work for Fox?

Seriously... if you job is to get world news... then I'm not sure why they block this stuff from you.

Can you get to twitter? A lot of major news places are now tweeting top headlines. You can also set up searches for various key words. Much breaking news is tweeted about before it gets to the traditional media these days.

(BTW: Good rant)
