Getting actual information from the news stations is an exercise in separating the wheat from the chaff as they all have their own political biases and agendas. This used to be a pretty straightforward exercise but I have noticed that all of the news outlets have become highly polarized with various blocks parroting the same party line and that includes repeating the same pack of lies, often verbatim. I find that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation which used to be fairly unbiased has become slanted to the right on foreign affairs and has partnered with NPR which has also taken a hit since the Trumpster moved into the White House. RT (russian television) used to be pretty decent if only because there were nuggets of truth buried in the propaganda which were pretty easy to uncover but sadly they have become much more sophisticated at spin after bringing on a large crew of Western media types, almost not worth the effort for how much real news is left anymore. Al Jazeera had good coverage up until a few years ago but the censorship from Qatar has made it a watered down version of its former self.
I get much of my news from friends on the ground that are scattered around the planet thanks to the time we spent travelling and meeting fellow travelers, the rest I pick up where I can from the usual suspects.

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.

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.

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...

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.
