I have to wonder why you want one. I rather agree that asking for an unbiased media source is a bit of an impossibility. The only way to be unbiased is to stick only to facts and provide no analysis, which will fail to provide any insight. I'd say instead to either: a. diversify your news source portfolio, or b. pick a news source you feel you can trust because they are intellectually honest, intelligent and insightful, and agree with your value set.
I am just looking to see the facts as they are with out the left or right wing spin. I'm just tired of all the bs.
I've found that the only true sources of unbiased information are bigtexxx posts. They're authentic, objective, thought-provoking and truly rich in content. Plus at the end of every post you get to read an MLK quote so you know you are getting your information from a highly enlightened and intellectual source.
Asking for an unbiased news source is implying all subjects are black and white. The least biased source will understand all sides and refrain from calling either side the plethora of insults everyone uses these days. Ethical journalism is becoming more and more difficult to come by. The largest media conglomerates have resorted to "ransom letter" news clips which involve chopping up dozens of videos and completely spin it into something else, hiding the original message. This is what it feels like reading/watching modern journalism <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Hdn_AAKusl8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I don't think there's such a thing as a truly unbiased news source, but I think The Christian Science Monitor comes closest to what you're looking for. The Atlantic is also good.
I've been using Google News for years and I recommend it. They have crawlers which organize the major stories by topic, then list numerous different sources' take on each story. So when you have a hot-button US politics topic, like Hillary's emails, then you can check the right leaning sources (Forbes, The Economist, WSJ) vs the left leaning sources (NYT, WaPo, MSNBC) and see how both sides are spinning it. For US politics I think 538 is the best, least-biased reporting out there. Excellent reporting that is based first and foremost on data. I agree with some of the earlier recommendations for Christian Science Monitor, NPR, and Reuters.
1. Young Turks -Publicly biased towards Bernie but they're very honest about it -Fairly entertaining as well, they're not robotic the way corporate media tends to be 2. Democracy Now! -great, nice blend of new online media and old school television format. Progressive and biased, but too blatantly. They do admit it though. 3. Thom Hartmann Show on Youtube: -Progressive if you want to label him but very pleasant to listen too and fairly even handed -Years of experience and gives a lot of great insight
That's why I listed more sources. I regularly check about 8-10 souces to filter and cross-reference. The problem with a lot of these independent sources is that they have narrow perspectives, and don't always have the resources to cover every story. I like the Turks for entertainment value and cuz they consistently cover a lot of ground. That doesn't mean I eat up everything they say.
It makes sense that NPR would be unbiased - conservatives even defend it against attacks which says a lot.
Honestly, when the hell did this start happening? People used to read the Times, Journal and Post and watch Buckley, Rather and Koppel without grousing about bias. Try anything with a corresponding print or pre-internet media model and anything based in the UK.
