I mostly don't trust any of them I think in the uk we are in a post truth society.

What does that mean?

@Gareth -that we are in a fake news zone. newspapers print what will sell and what truths people want to believe.

@jacpod So knife crime is not up, City didn't win the Premiership and there's no war in Syria? That's all just wishful thinking?

@Gareth (((laughing))) no, more like - jeremy corbyn hates all jewish people, theresa may is the best thing since sliced bread and we are all cooing over the birth of yet another Royal baby that we probably have to support

@jacpod Sorry, I thought you were saying it was all rubbish, not just the editorially slanted stuff and the celebrity gossip. But I think it's been like that my entire life - I don't think it's anything new and an intelligent person can anyway see through the bias and ignore the irrelevancies. It only affects a small part of my news diet, but I agree with you otherwise.

The Young Turks and Al Jazeera

They are both good and I forgot to mention them earlier.

None at all, when i read news that interests me, I search some.

BBC

The Guardian and The Independent - the BBC isn't quite as reliable as it once was. (The Daily Mail can't even be considered a proper news site or newspaper).

Guardian for a left-ish perspective, The Times for the right.

None of them.. Maybe TYT..I trusted Al-Jazeera..

I follow the BBC, and NPR. Sometimes I'll look at CNN for updates on a breaking story if NPR hasn't updated. I really like the New Yorker but it's not quite same as the other two in terms of daily news. I also follow my local news station to see what's happening in my region. And so I can weep for humanity when I read the comments.

MSNBC I trust the most.

1

None from the U.S.A.

NPR, SBS (Australia), Democracy now, The NY Times, Al Jazeera

None of them

NPR and PBS.

Sadly, most of those “news” sources listed are pro-war, so I don’t trust them. Secular Talk, The Humanist Report and The Jimmy Dore Show is what I watch.

If you like Jimmy Dore, you'd probably like Chapo Trap House podcast. Those are the two I listen to to hear comedy and critical thought.

I am able to watch news from all over the world because of streaming. This allows me to see which agencies of media seem to be telling the same or a similar story. It means I can compare BBC with CNN and PressTV or Reuters to get the story. Notice that I do not mention Alex Jones or Breitbart. I avoid anything with a slanted view towards Trump or his minions. Just how a man like Trump comes on the scene and declares everything as "fake news" shows me that he is trying to control media as well as people. He can't take the heat. It's never fully explained just where the asshole gets his news. I fact check mine worldwide.

I “trust” none of the mainstream media. They all have corporate interests and mostly fail the impartially test. Many times “real news” is not reported due to various reasons, but you see it in an unlikely place such as a small town rag.

I stick to the sources in the green box on this evidence-backed chart, such as NPR, BBC, WSJ, CSM. The research and the chart itself are quite interesting..

Thanks.

Bravo! You are just missing Der Spiegel.

Wow, you managed to list a whole collection of news that I don't trust at all. Jacobin, the Intercept, TYT, Al Jazeera... Independent news sources that don't have a corporate interest in misinforming their readers.

0

Reuters, NPR. I like sites that are just straight news without any spin.

0

I just don't know who to believe? Im no help...

0

MSNBC, Wasington Post, but l continually check several sources including FOX to see what is going on in the enemy camp.

A lot of sites are aggregated on my Facebook newsfeed: NYT, WaPo, NPR, MSNBC, Mother Jones, ThinkProgress, Rolling Stone, and my hometown and regional newspapers. Further, I pay for subscriptions to NYT, WaPo and local paper.

I refer to this chart and try to stay toward the middle. I don't like to listen to those that just feed my own bias.

I don't know why the image is not clear, but here is the link if you are interested: [allgeneralizationsarefalse.com]

I don't believe any news outlet that takes advertising or is state sponsored can ever be truly independent and unbiased. I inherently mistrust any news that is one sided and paints a black/white, right/wrong picture without credible facts. I thoroughly enjoy John Oliver/Last week tonight.
