New sources outside of the US tend to tell it like it is, because they have no one to kiss ass to (at least, not American cheeks, that is). Pucker up US sources!
I was in Canada for the inauguration and of course the coverage was more outside looking in (which HARD news should be). But it still was slanted......they couldn't wipe the smirks off their faces on some of the stuff they had to report about it all.
I don't believe there is an actual news program on Fox or CNN or MSNBC. It's just top to bottom opinion. The Big 3 (CBS, ABC, NBC) 1/2 hour infotainment programs are a complete joke. Have been for years.
Generally if something big happens and I want more depth, I'll watch NewsHour on PBS. C-Span is even better.
The ABC/CNN/MSNBC agenda is to do nothing but try to slander Trump, if they weren't so obviously bias they'd be tolerable to watch some.. though I do like to listen to CNN from time to time to hear the butt hurt first hand--not for the news but for the constant whining.
For those who would find clicking the link too unbearable, it lists the following news organizations as least biased and meeting high standards:
Al Jazeera
Christian Science Monitor
NPR
PBS
BBC
Washington Post
New York Times
ABC
NBC
CBS
AP
Reuters
That's pretty good, really. I lean left, and I enjoy commentary that aligns with my own beliefs, but when it's passed off news, and not editorializing, I can see right through it, and I don't like that. I hate sensationalized stories and conspiracy theory garbage, regardless of the underlying political affiliation.
I haven't watched BBC in a while but, when I was a regular watcher I felt they were pretty even and fair in their reporting. They really didn't have a dog in the race.
CNN and MSNBC are unwatchable. They stack every panel with 3 to 5 Trump haters and maybe they have one Republican voice. When the lobe voice of the Republican tries to speak he/she is interrupted and shouted down and the anchor get's in on the fun too. I can't stand Don Lemon in particular. That dude is as Uncle Tom as they come.
As far as MSNBC goes I used to have tremendous respect for Chris Matthews. I don't know what happened to him. If I may make an observation about NBC news as a whole. Ever since the untimely passing of Tim Russek and Tom Brokaw retired in 2004 and has taken a less and less prominent role in the news department the entire NBC news division has pooped the bed.
I am not a FOX news watcher. I prefer FOX Business news or, Bloomberg.
None of the ones listed are the best. I prefer reading different MSMs in order to get to the truth. I use the following link as it links to multiple feeds:
