List any sources (radio, television, internet, books, individuals, etc.) that you get your politics news and education from. For me, it's the following:

MSNBC - Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell
NPR
Huffington Post
Thom Hartmann
Leslie Marshall
Robert Reich
Paul Krugman
The Young Turks
Bernie Sanders
Elizabeth Warren
Nick Hanauer
Michael Moore

Common sense and U.S.A. Today.

If I have to watch, I like CNN personally. MSNBC and Fox News are both obnoxious. CNN at least attempts to pretend it is neutral, despite its slight left bias.

Most of the TV media has a left bias, but really only MSNBC is significant enough to write home about.

Honestly, I have found CNN to come off as very bland and boring to watch. Anderson Cooper has such a BORING personality, just like most other CNN people.

I LOVE the personalities of MSNBC. They're far more interesting to watch. Even Fox News has some interesting personalities, but I just don't agree with their message.

And honestly, I have found MSNBC to be the most informative and accurate out of all of the networks. They really do their homework with everything and are fantastic at analysis of issues and current events.

Its more about where I dont get my news from.

Fox news, and Mother Jones both are horrible sites.
MSNBC is borderline

Anything on the extreme left or right pretty much is iffy.

I might read something on Fox, or Mother Jones, but its in the pile of information labeled (probably suspect)

Big fan of Christian Science Monitor.

Did not MSNBC intentionally edit the Zimmerman/ Martin tape? And people complain about FOX.

They are both despicable.

I give MSNBC the benefit of the doubt between the two simply because Fox News promotes more destructive ideology. Everything is a scandal, crisis, or tyranny on Fox News. MSNBC is really just bashing conservatives. That isn't any classier, but less harmful in my opinion.

I have never seen FOX do anything comparable to the Zimmerman/ Martin tape. It is one thing to be heavily biased, it is another thing to edit tapes in order to push your agenda.

A person has to be a little deranged to actually watch MSNBC and take it seriously. They don't actually do real news reporting or broadcasting, it's all satire. Can't believe that some people didn't know that.

It wasn't MSNBC that edited the tape.
