Just a quick poll to find out who you all think is the best/most reliable news agency.
Christian Science Monitor, though they are not the fastest.
I have a hierarchy depending on what the topic is, but Christian Science monitor is usually a very good source for international issues that require a little thought. NPR, BBC and others I commonly use. The current shooting situations I checked both Fox and CNN. At this point the spin hasnt started...The way I mainly check out stories in the US is to find a local news source. Generally it gives you the facts, by the time Faux or the RW sites get hold of an issue you cant even google it anymore.
One could say the same for LW news sources. The problem isn't the lean as much as it is the aggregation sites bury local news under links to the same MSM stories regurgitated 1000 different places in pretty short order. I used Canadian/BBC coverage on 9/11, the US MSM was doing such a horrible job once the towers collapsed.
If you can identify a source as LW or as RW, it probably isn't too reliable.
i disagree. Facts are facts. If one cannot differentiate between facts and slant, so be it.
Sometimes the spin can make anyone dizzy.
Sure but unfortunately people confuse commentary with news and have an insatiable need for bias confirming commentary.
I'd be hesitant to give this opinion, but I'll say NPR. Colbert shouldn't even be an option.
NPR is winning?
What a joke.
