I used to watch Fox, CNN, and MSNBC. I stopped watching MSNBC, because it seemed too one-sided. I stopped watching Fox, because it was completely disingenuous. I still watch CNN in the mornings but it's mostly bullshit 'soft news.' I find that real news depresses me too much, so I just stick my head in the sand.

I haven't watched televised news in years. When it comes to online/print media sources, I use a variety and trust no single source. I will say that I'm grateful for the BBC.

Sadly, from a conservative site known as Huffington Post. When I had Comcast, it was France Channel 5 and RT.

ABC News 24 mainly,or ABC 1 (public broadcasting) Also sometimes watch Jim Lehrer on SBS (also public broad casting)

I buy a newspaper each Saturday. "The weekend Australian": effectively our only national newspaper.Pretty right wing, with a few token lefties.

Oh. So you're Australian. Explains your inferiority complex.

I thought the Huffington Post was notoriously liberal.

Sir I admire your eloquence.

The trouble is there is no intrinsic truth, all sources are biased, this is also compounded by the tendency of individuals to use their views to validate their individuality which inhibits their ability to examine evidence,
I think I may have got that idea from the Sun or the fox network.
