Both. If I think CNN's got it covered I'll probably switch that on AND run to my computer and see what other sources are saying. You get a lot of different viewpoints on the internet, and with twitter and the like you often get raw news, before it's been filtered and gussied up for proper presentation on air/in a news article (whether it's on a website like Yahoo or printed in the newspaper it still has to look good and have all the fact straight. supposedly. But if you're getting it raw there's less lag.)
I feel like this question is a sort of cloaked "lololol the internet is taking over where TV was once important!" kind of question. That's not the case. With the internet, you have to know what you want before you go on. With television, the scroll on the bottom and the news anchors present a variety of news, some of which you probably didn't realize you cared about. There's a big difference between saying "I want to see how the Rays did" and looking it up online and getting just the score, and looking in a newspaper and seeing the whole game and having your eye caught by an interesting article about one of the players. Which can happen online, but not as often and it doesn't feel as spontaneous and interesting.
And I'm really attached to my local news anchors.
