I trust CNN and the Washington Post among the mainstream options you listed, probably CBS as well.
But I mainly watch The Young Turks, Secular Talk, Majority Report and Chapo Trap House

Among viewers 25-54, the demographic most coveted by national advertisers, the falloff for CNN was even more stark: down 41 percent.

You might not be able to watch CNN if it continues on its current trend of losing viewers.
"Washington Post" Even after knowing the hatred the owner of the Post has towards Trump? And all the retractions it has made ONLY after getting caught telling their lies.
Watch the news in foreign countries, and you see how well rounded their reporting is between local, national and international news.
I don't know which foreign countries you're talking about. But I was in India recently and the news networks there are so full of propaganda that they make the U.S. networks seem tame by comparison - if that can be believed.
A friend of mine there told me that not only has he stopped watching the news, but he also tells anyone he visits to turn off the news before he enters their house. It is just that poisonous and divisive.
reuters.com is pretty good. I don't like tv news; I like to read the news so I can take my time and stop and think about what I am reading.
"reuters.com is pretty good."
You should read up on the scam they pulled from using a fake Iraq officer as its "source", to doctoring pictures during th Iraq war. You might change your mind.
I’m fine with people wanting boutique news. But I wish they’d stop doing it and STILL claiming that they want unbiased news. They don’t.
No one is making fun. And no one said that news aggregators don’t exist on the left.
People that seek out that kind of stuff want biased news, and they shouldn’t pretend that they want anything else.
It’s not that deep. Seriously.
The overwhelming majority of news outlets do a great job of reporting. They just aren’t slanting it the way you want to hear it.
That’s not even close to being true.
The only real problem with our domestic news outlets is the dumbing down of the news so as to make it less abstruse for American audiences. Watch the news in foreign countries, and you see how well rounded their reporting is between local, national and international news. And they tie in world events with their own domestic sensibilities so that folks understand what affect it has on their citizenry.
Americans are far too provincial and intellectually lazy to be bothered with that. That’s why I miss Al Jazeera America so much. That’s how news should be done.
Of course, I heard the typical American hayseed claiming that’s Al Jazeera was no good because “they were for The terrorists.”
Reuter’s is REALLY good at what they do. I like the speed at which they pick up on the details of a story.
"The overwhelming majority of news outlets do a great job of reporting. They just aren’t slanting it the way you want to hear it. "
What a contradiction! You say they do a great job EVEN THOUGH they are slanted!
If anything comes from this administration, it's how dangerously powerful the news outlets are and have been over the years. I'm grateful the fake news has finally been called out, but it's also sad.
I've always believed the first steps of a dictatorship was to hamper the free-flow to factual information. We are there with few exceptions. I'm constantly surprised at the headlines and what passes as news from some of the most powerful and influential narratives. It's so obvious, at least to me.
Which ones do you trust the most? Please write in a source if yours isn't listed.
thanks!
What do you mean "finally called out"?
Partisans have been calling their rival leaning news sources fake news for over 15 years at this point or don't you remember them saying "Faux News"? (Still saying it too) I remember Obama, Clinton, pretty much every top dem has taken shots at Faux News.
Made it all the funnier that when Trump stole the label and turned it around at left leaning media that peoples heads exploded and hypocrites said it was tearing at our countries free press and blah blah blah dictators blah blah blah.

The media - regardless of whether it's slanted liberal, conservative, or anything in between, really just wants to gain money, power, and influence for itself. They love stirring up division in order to keep the populace distracted from their main goals.
On the plus side, they're kind of necessary to keep the populace informed.
I put no trust in a judge that stays in the shallow end of the pool and wants to influence opinion on media !!!
You are probably right though. Its not that deep where you are standing !!!
Yeah, because you’re brilliant. You’re standing in the Mariana Trench of intellectual journalism.
Beam me up Scotty.
