Ok folks, Let's see your opinion on the most bona fide news source that you know of. I will start here by claiming that Daily Kos is the most bona fide news source. It was tough, because Info Wars seems pretty solid... Can anybody dispute my claim and post a more bona fide news source?

My Poe sense is tingling.
 
Clearly it's Breitbart and Media Matters.

Drudge would probably be one of the hardest to dispute, just because of the nature of his platform. Nobody could ever dispute something from Drudge, they could only dispute the linked source.

Imitation by EAP

A dark unfathomed tide
Of interminable pride -
A mystery, and a dream,
Should my early life seem;
I say that dream was fraught
With a wild and waking thought
Of beings that have been,
Which my spirit hath not seen,
Had I let them pass me by,
With a dreaming eye!
Let none of earth inherit
That vision of my spirit;
Those thoughts I would control,
As a spell upon his soul:
For that bright hope at last
And that light time have past,
And my worldly rest hath gone
With a sigh as it passed on:
I care not though it perish
With a thought I then did cherish.

CNN and MSNBC, followed closely by FOX NEWS

I am glad to see a couple suggestions. I am concerned about CNN, since it has been considered the Hillary News Network, and they clearly did have a horse in the race during the election cycle. I watch CNN and MSNBC, as well as FOX News, and would not consider any of them to be bona fide news sources. Even if FOX was a legitimate news source, they are not considered as such by the left. Pretty much all of the MSM sources were shown to have hidden agenda or to collude with the candidates. I would rule those three out.

That's fine. I ruled them out before I wrote them down.

Lol, I dont think we will ever see such thing as a bona fide news source. It is a unicorn in a utopian society. A bona fide news source is an oxymoron in the current political landscape.
 
I get my news from here and watch Fox, CNN, and MSNBC for giggles.
 
I love being invited to creative writing threads. They make me feel like Edgar Allen Poe.

Crack smoking pigeons.

They're not always accurate.. or on time... or even really flying. They kind of just walk into the house.

It is good to see that somebody else thinks of the various media sources this way. While our perspectives do not match perfectly, it would appear that we concur that there are no "bona fide" news sources.

I am curious about the news you get from here. Does it come from a section of the forum that is limited to news coming from "bona fide" news sources? I am glad to see that you realize that FOX, Clinton News Network, and MSNBC are far from being bona fide or non biased.

You do realize that my news source was crack smoking pigeons. Yes?

Exactly! I do not trust ANY media source any more than I would a crack smoking pigeon. I read or watch them all, regardless of their bias, and I trust none of them. We cannot know the truth, so the best we can do is to triangulate the "most likely" truth from as many different sources as possible, and from as many different bias perspectives as possible. Crack smoking pigeons are a good symbol here since the thread is not directed toward either partisan side. Crack smoking pigeons represents biased media from all sides of the aisle.

Feel free to post creative writing responses! I thought that was the symbolic crack smoking pigeons were very creative. If you prefer, you could abandon the "tell tale" Poe tingle and just go with your own personal touch. There is something pretty fun about reading posts from an original and unique position and style. Have you ever come across a righty who bombs into the forum and posts differently than all the rest of the righties? Feel free to shake things up!
 
I've decided to get all my news from Buzzfeed moving forward.

If it's good enough for CNN, it's gotta be good enough for me.

Okay - I also like to receive my news from Jewish mimes. Not regular mimes.
