Very odd that all these people who post Breitbart articles like they're the gospel all of a sudden don't trust Breitbart. Just like all of the Trumpanzees on the board didn't vote for Trump.
I dont think thehill is that bad outside their editorials. I tend to trust economist and ft but it hasn't shown up on Google news and news has been downright depressing to seek out.
All good points. However, anonymous sources in White House reporting is not a new phenomenon. It is the way it has always worked. When multiple news sources independently corroborate a story, you can be pretty certain that their is some veracity. I've never seen the Washington monument myself but I've heard enough second hand accounts to believe it exists.
Needs to be a 'None of the above', but I would pick NPR if forced to. I would have chosen Wall Street Journal if it were there. Business news tend to be more factual/objective. Does either party hate money?
NPR, NYtime/WaPost, Politico, and sometimes theHill and Axios...i also can't forget PBS Newshour, my go to place for news
If you really want some anti-everything spin with a healthy dose of nutjobbery: http://www.zerohedge.com Taken with a huge grain of salt, it's a good tonic.
You shouldn't ever trust a news service. Get the facts, and make your own judgments. AP and Reuters tend to report only on the facts, and that is all you need. You don't need conjecture or spin from talking heads. In find Twitter to be the best news service out there. On breaking events you can get news from the very people living through it.
Like when after MSNBC fired Phil Donahue their most highly rated show for having some guests opposing the Iraq War BEFORE we attacked and all the usual sources got on their knees to suck up to Bush's lies? If th ****** Legendary talk show host Phil Donahue appeared on HuffPostLive Thursday to talk about his firing from MSNBC, the media’s role during the Iraq War, and his fraught relationship with Chris Matthews. Donahue was a rare anti-war voice on television during the run-up to the war, but he was fired in early 2003, even though his show was a highly rated one on the network. A leaked memo later revealed that NBC executives considered him a “difficult public face for NBC in a time of war.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/21/phil-donahue-chris-matthews-msnbc-firing_n_2926643.html
I would also suggest adding WSJ and Christian Science Monitor. Oh, and also add B-Bob to your list... very trusted source of insights.
Here's the issue with that. Are you looking up online sources that have preconceived conclusions and are 'hunting' for evidence to confirm those conclusions? I don't see how you avoid that by 'looking it up yourself'.
I can go read legislation or a quote from someone myself. Every author has a personal opinion on the issue they are writing about. Pretending like their is some author who doesn't is stupid.
