Echoing others sentiments, go to multiple sources.

I typically stick to the Washington Post. It's a paper of record, and my local paper so I get most of what I need out of it.

Stormfront is great for the alternate viewpoints.

Not saying those alternative viewpoints are good, just alternative.

 

[MutFox]

Al Jazeera is really good.
They have a 24 hour webstream too - LINK
BBC is good as well... (Always good to see multiple sources though)

I work for a big news company too...
I'd say ours is closer to infotainment.

 

[Snowybreak]

I'll throw my hat in for NPR, PBS, BBC and Reuters.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Yup, go for multiple sources.

 

[Mully]

You cannot go wrong with a combination of the Washington Post, NY Times, and CBS News for unbiased quality breaking news coverage, NPR and the Atlantic for in-depth features and think pieces about ongoing news events, and the New Yorker and weekly magazines for extremely well written and well researched essay pieces.

Your local newspaper will usually be more accurate for regional things.
Associated Press for quick informative tidbits. Reuters as well.
BBC, NPR and the like are good but usually lack the finesse of more regional operations.

 

[GeordieMark]

BBC I guess, but I don't believe any news is without some bias.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

So by this, Buzzfeed and the Wall Street Journal are the least biased sources.

This graph doesn't show actual bias, but trust. Which is not to be confused with credibility even.

 

[AlphaDump]

I like fark.com. Comments section can be good, too.

 

[Kthulhu]

Associated Press and Reuters the best

BBC, and Wall Street Journal did well here

lol at Buzzfeed. Guess Republicans and Democrats can agree on something after all.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Just choose the source that fits your ideology/views best and make sure they use good sources themselves.

I don't think using confirmation bias to screen out news sources is a good idea.

 

[samsirus]

Im in the multiple sources camp. Normally use news.google.com since it helps to see a few sources at a time, with highly cited and wiki stuff included. Heres an example.

 

[daveo42]

Get it straight from the AP, or use NPR which is my go-to source for news. WSJ is also up there.

Edit: I wonder how many of those distrusted votes are from the right thinking Al Jazeera is a terrorist organization?

Hey Gaf,

Simple question for you guys, where do you get your news from?


I have been looking for a reliable news source for a while, but every single time I find one I like, I end up doing some research and finding out that they have a strong bias. I understand that every site out there is going to have some sort of bias, I'm just looking for one that doesn't let that bias they have rule what content they cover, or how they cover it.

I currently get my news from /r/news, Facebook, and the Philip DeFranco Show.

All news sources are inherently biased.

Embrace the bias. You need to triangulate. I read RT, All Jazeera, CNN, Fox News, Guardian, Daily Mail and Spiegel, figuring the thruth is somewhere in the middle. I just need a China biased English site to complete my deck.
