RTE, PBS, Irish National Caucus, Google News, Reddit, and JSTOR Daily--not necessarily in that order.

I have Feedly, which updates these and a variety of other things. But I probably view these more often than other as news sources. If a story interests me, I'll generally see how Fox, Breitbart, HuffPo, and Daily Cos try to spin it. Usually it's obvious, but it's always informative to see how various shades of liberalism is spinning an issue.

For what I read:


So "mediabiasfactcheck" deems all your left sources as highly factual, and the rightist source as mixed. Interesting. What's the bias of this "factcheck" site, I wonder?

@Frollein Maybe actually look at the site before you make gross generalizations? There are plenty of left sources that are mixed (AlterNet for example) and factual right sources.

Although I do not wish to give credence to the commission of a logical fallacy , according to their own about section , the site was founded by David Van Zandt , whom is also the current head of The New School . So make of that what you will .

I didn't generalize - I explicitely said "your sources." And I asked a question, which is the opposite of generalization. :)

I am at a loss..
The news I used to read and trust to some extent, NYT, Google News, RT, BBC, The Atlantic, The New Yorker, Drudge, Fox, The Guardian, all of them have shown themselves to be heavily biased, much more than a year ago. Trump has changed everything.
I still look at them but with slanted eyes, I do not trust any of them.

(Sky News, Huff Post and Slate are totally out, I will not read them again)
