Because of its accuracy. It's why Trump hates it.

Sure, perused Wikileaks during the election.

In addition to FoxNews (which I already mentioned in previous post), I'll also look at Daily Mail, Zero Hedge, Reason.com, Breitbart, and a handful of others.

I start reading articles from just about everywhere including The Economist and Reuters.

But when the author starts expressing opinions using "I", I slow down and if he uses exaggerated examples or insults, then I quit and go to another source.

Reuters is showing signs of bias and poor reporting.
Fox is biased, but their reporting is good. Reporting should not be confused with opinionating; Fox is like a magazine in that all contributors are not the same - some are journalists held to high standard, some are there to express an opinion.
The Economist gives wonderful in depth analysis of the subject.

I get a Twitter feed from just about every news source.

This forum serves as great evidence of how easy it is to influence how people think, and what they believe.

Now we have Breitbart and President Birther in the White House. God help us.

Yup. And they are trying to sway their base until they believe only Trump-approved sites. And they are falling in line.

Not a Trump fan either but the more you liberals cry about him the more i think he must be doing something right.

I think MSNBC is actually moving a bit toward the center. Don't have cable so that is just from seeing personel moves.

On politics I actually use RealClearPolitics a lot.

I feel like MSNBC is trying to move to the center with the addition of Fox reject Greta VanSustren. Apparently they do not realize who their target audience is.

I listen to Glenn Greenwald. Fox, cnn , msnbc and bbc interviews him very often. Joe and Mika are also good. Fox has one or two. There are none on CNN and lot of times it turns into race baiting. Anderson at least let others talk about it.
