In person hearsay preferred. Usually respond with “oh really?”, after which I move on with my day.

Used to have a subscription to local newspaper. They stopped printing though.

again, agreed.....

and USA Today. I know USA today gets a lot of flack, but it's a quick easy read and covers the basics pretty well.

Back in the eighties when I was working and on the road for biz a lot it was a good read. Today, garbage, the sports section is a total joke, I know everyone gets their updates via their stupid phones, LOL !

[wantonebad]

Facebook mostly, with a little bit of Newsmax and the Guardian thrown in to supplement Tik-Tok and snap-chat. I don't trust Instagram anymore, too many pictures!

Love these "head in the sand"/"don't bother with the news, I'm happier that way" posts. Maybe someday more of us will have enough wealth and/or societal privilege to not have to care about what's happening to the world and the people around us.

Fox, CNN, BBC, WSJ, NYT, newsmax, NPR, and others. So yes, a bit more breadth of information than Stan. Only listening to one side doesn’t make much sense to me.

I’ve found just reading the headline and stopping there. You know what happened and you dodge all of the political/biased trash that follows in the article. Doesn’t really matter what place you go to if you use this method.

Fox news of course. I was unfortunately dropped on my head as a child.

In reality usually just the BBC online. Only read news, can't watch it.

Compare news coverage. Spot media bias. Avoid algorithms. Be well informed.

People seeing the world differently than you do doesn’t make them idiots. If you think Fox News viewers are idiots, IMO you’re part of the problem, not the solution.

That’s the problem with the so-called news media today. Most of the outlets mentioned in this thread only report news from one side of the aisle. If it goes against the directive its not even reported on or worse called propaganda. At the same time telling their readers or viewers that anyone who thinks differently is a facist, raciest, idiot or all of the aforementioned.

The hate that has been churned up for those who think and vote differently cannot continue as it seems everything is looked at thru the lense of politics.

Right. “News” has never been totally objective and has become more opinion-based and viewpoint-oriented in recent years. That said, while some outlets are not my cup of tea (for example, the New York Times and MSNBC) I’m man enough to admit that plenty of smart, decent folks get their news from those outlets and actually agree with their editorial slants.

It has absolutely nothing to do with money. Not mine, but happens to be a pretty common feeling amongst a good number of people.

When the actual facts do not support those things being reported and commentary often devolves into conspiracy theories then there’s bound to be those who just have to wonder what type of people would ever fall for those things being said on these kind of supposed news outlets in the first place. I was stationed in Korea. So when the North Koreans dropped their misinformation pamphlets over there they called this sort of thing propaganda. In the middle of winter they used to claim it was warmer in North Korea.

Funny how often the main defense when commentators for this organization being sued that they resort to stating they are just exercising their first amendment but no one should ever take them seriously.

I happen to be someone that does take them seriously only for the fact that so many are willing to believe anything they say in the first place.

There are plenty of objective factual inaccuracies coming from every big media company. Fox has a range of programming that ranges from highly opinionated talk shows like Tucker Carlson Tonight to very straight news like Brett Baier. “Actual facts” by any rigorous standard don’t support most content on any media platform. Journalists are extremely biased and also just aren’t the smartest folks in most cases.

I guess that whole reference to the North Koreans, propaganda, and them claiming they were warmer in the winter somehow didn’t get my point across did it?

No, it didn’t. Because Fox News isn’t North Korea. and every news source including the august New York Times, as well as state media like NPR or the BBC, is extremely biased. Mainstream news is no more objective than Fox based on what I’ve seen. NBC/CBS/CNN have the fancier brand but I’d say the bias levels are roughly equal, with mainstream being morally inferior due to how often they side with the most powerful elements in our society (the federal government and giant corporations). What you think is objective is actually far from it.

I never claimed or even ever thought that anyone was completely fair or unbiased. I was just commenting on this one particular news source that does seem to misrepresent a good number of items regardless what the facts actually are. Well, that and they seem to support based on their commentators an overwhelming number of conspiracy theories.

I only did that because you took offense to someone calling people who watch this source as idiots. I was just trying to explain why some may think they might be.

For something to be like North Korea it doesn’t have to actually be North Korea. Let’s just hope the USA never gets to be North Korea.

Star Ferry you hit the nail on the head. Well said!

[timepieceluvr]

Unfortunately the “news” is rarely the truth. That said, being informed generally requires being fed lots of untruths and doing one’s best to decipher something as near the truth as possible.

I do like Axios

When I see a story is developing here in the US, I like to go to a local TV station's website. I've found they get developing information up quicker than the local papers and generally don't waste time editorializing. If a local official is making a public statement about what's happened and the ongoing response, the news stations tend to have the video.

Now we’re getting somewhere.

Is there any news outlet that reports on just the facts without political or corporate bias? I suppose not.
