I personally spend around 80 or 90 percent of my time watching C-Span. I watch all of the important House and Senate debates as well as the committee hearings that I find to be of interest to me. In the mornings they read the headlines of multiple news papers (big and small) across the nation and have a call in period to discuss the headlines.

You also can monitor the C-Span channels via the internet either via live streaming video or check the archives. I find C-Span to be the most unfiltered and least biased source of news that is available.
