So we've all heard the hatred for the press from conservatives. It's a biased left-wing propaganda tool, doesn't report the news fairly, etc.
My question is simply: for those of you criticizing, what fair and reliable sources do you get your information from? Please share the specific sources that can be trusted. Links are great.
Thanks.
First... calling people names and making false accusations is not the way to win people over.
Second.. they accuse us of things that we know is not true, since we know that they are lying, why would we believe anything else they are selling?
That should explain why we get our news anywhere but the mainstream media.
I would call myself more of a 'media' skeptic, than hater. Anyway, I use the real clear...com series of tabs to peruse information and news from a variety of sources. I find drudge also useful for that purpose. It is difficult not submitting to confirmation bias in selecting what I read, much less put truck in, but all of us have the same blind spot. Be honest, all of us are subject to confirmation bias.

Exactly. It is difficult to get past that bias.
But I do think it is dangerous to sell everything that you don't agree with as 'fake news'.
Even though they lean to the Left a bit with more negative than positive Trump reporting and their Polls had Hillary winning in a landslide with no chance of a Trump win Nov. 8, Fox News does give both sides and so that's where I get most of my news.
Finally, someone states where they get their news.
Dig on the internet and decide for yourself whats believable and what, if any, agenda the source might have. You do the same with the MSM and what the government tells you.
You'd be amazed at what ordinary citizens can dig up and the facts they uncover. If you stuck to the MSM for the news, you'd be woefully ignorant.

Fox News leans to the left? What, they aren't just praising Dear Leader all day, every day? That's your idea of left leaning? Maybe it's just realistic, there doesn't seem to be much that's positive to say about Trump.
It's not just about sources... it's a desire for the truth. Anyone can find stuff that supports what they want to hear.
Well, that's funny. "The truth" isn't necessarily what someone wants to hear, but heck, it is easy on both sides to find :stuff that supports what they want to hear".
