Agree. I find the most reliable news about America on non-American sources: BBC, CBC, CTV, Australia's ABC, Toronto's Globe and Mail, the Sydney Morning Herald, and similar.
Why? Because they have no dog in the American fight, are not controlled by American interests that do have a dog in the fight, and are typically "old-school journalists"; that is, ones that report news, instead of opinion dressed up as news.
The US media, of all political stripes, is entertaining. But it's no longer fact-based news. It is opinion dressed up as news.
This thread is a good example of what has gone haywire with so much of the modern right-wing. Nine pages so far of pointless vague accusations against the mainstream media with no attempt to offer any specific examples, or any logical arguments. And notice how the poll fails to include Fox News on the list, and does not have an "other" or "none of the above" option. The poll is clearly designed to be nothing but a prompt for mindless ranting, with no expectation for any thoughtful discussion or debate.
Notice how this post by veuvegirl breaks away from the crowd and actually displays some intelligent effort:

I would love to see some conservatives follow veuvegirl's example and offer specific examples of "fake news" in the mainstream media.
For any independent thinkers who happen to fall into this thread (or any of the dozens of other similar threads), I hope the pointlessness of these endless strings of vague accusations is obvious. My hope is that there are conservatives somewhere in the world who recognize the embarrassing nature of this trend and are willing to speak out against this sort of spiritual cancer that is threatening to overwhelm the historically respectable conservative traditions.

The OP didn't include MSNBC, moveon.org or the Daily Kos, so I guess your theory of him being a right wing lackey is coming up short.
The only four options are left leaning organizations. Where are the 4 right leaning organizations to balance the poll out? You might want to stop guessing and look at the facts. And if the OP is not a rightwing lackey he can answer my question directly, unless you're his official lackey.
How many politicians has Fox helped to cheat a Presidential debate?
Same as other networks.
CNN didn't help Clinton. An employee acted on her own. There's a difference despite many sources reporting that there isn't. And of course, these sources all talk about fake news, which is ****ing hilarious for those of us who can count past 12.
