Many including myself don't use network, or cable tv for their "news" sources. Also we don't use AP, Reuters, and major print media, nor their websites.

I generally avoid the sites that are run by cable tv networks. I like news aggregates, such as reddit and saidit.

I get my online news from (in no special order):

Drudge links to stories on various websites where you don't need a subscription to read it.
Breitbart
The Daily Caller
The Hill
Judicial Watch
Sara Carter
Campus Reform
Occasionally The Washington Times
Occasionally Fox News

I watch FNC (but only specific shows) and occasionally The Fox Business Channel.

If I want to read about some incident/disaster/event, I find the local newspaper websites or the local TV websites for where the incident/disaster/event happened. They have better coverage, video and know who to talk to.

I don't read stories on news websites where they herd you to Facebook or Twitter to comment.

I voted "Other".
By that I mean that I get my news from many different sources.


New York Times
Washington Post
Business Insider
Wall Street Journal
The Boston Globe

Local Newspapers
Local News
CBS
NBC
Reuters
CNN
MSNBC
BBC


and others.
I stay away from Fox News (Faux News), which I consider nothing more than biased propaganda, and lacking credible
Journalistic News reporting. Breitbart, and a few others fall into this same category for me. But, I also stay away from some Liberal news sourcing that is sometimes over the top....such as Huffington Post.

You're a funny one with some funny notions that all seem to revolve around some sort of zero-sum game of winning and losing. There's more to life, politics, this forum and this thread than you seem able to appreciate, but you do get around. I'll give you that. Seems my threads are working out for you anyway. Hopefully lots of other people too, since at least one of my hopes is that people engage in topics that interest me, wherever they may lead...

I've got to sign off now, but sometimes I wonder if some people don't get their news mostly from listening to their own voice and not much else!

Looks like 18 people here follow CNN trash news......that's likely the total sum of all viewers.

My wife and I caught our first episode of this show last night...

‘The Loudest Voice’ Ratings Pump Up The Volume; Premiere Tops 2M In Delayed Viewing & Streaming

https://deadline.com/2019/07/the-lou...me-1202643970/

Anyone else?

Of course Hollywood always takes "creative license" to tell stories the way it does, but even when mostly true, there's always plenty to think about when it comes to stories like this one. In particular with this story (that is pretty well known regardless), there is lots for Fox News fans to think about in particular. All the rest of us too for that matter...

Reddit as it's a collection of all news sources with plenty of discussion and people citing sources and other material relevant to the article / thread.

I watch it, for non Democratic/Rep stories, but knowing it's a Democrat party run news source, I know the biases.
