Every story from every MSM organization gets the "fake news" tag when you guys disagree with it. I'd like to compile a list of news sites you actually believe to be credible. Please, list a couple, so I know which facts I can present that won't be dismissed out of hand.

If you're smart enough to use the internet you should be smart enough to recognize bias in news stories, no matter where they originate.

Part of the problem is that many people don't seem to have the ability to differentiate between news, opinion and entertainment.

I wish there were two MSM news sources or even one that were always credible. There aren't, which is why I read many sources from both sides of the political aisle as facts are presented differently depending on the author's biases. If I had to choose two most credible they would be The Economist and the BBC. Other MSM sources I read regularly are CBS, ABC, NBC, Washington Post, and the Washington Times....all are biased depending on the article's author.

The point is all news media is suspect for biases, pushing certain facts and ignoring others. It is important to be a well read consumer of news and not stay in the echo chamber of confirmation bias.

I'm a moderate (fiscal) conservative.


I usually consider AP and Reuters to be fairly reliable and not too terribly biased.

I haven't read the Economist much, but I'll also agree with BBC. They've been moving very slightly left here lately, but only lately.

When I want 100% straight-up factual news reporting, I always turn to The Rolling Stone. You'll never find them getting hauled into court over bad reporting.
