News pieces can be cross verified with other outlets. Don’t trust social media, blogs, talk radio and definitely not opinion shows masquerading as news.
Everything you listed is propaganda masquerading as news.

Nope, that’s what you’ve been told to think.

It's the media that has lost all credibility.

Nobody tells me what to think. And no, I don't get my news from breitbart or Faux News.

I find One America News to be pretty neutral in its reporting.

No (or very little) apparent emotion, no speechifying, just the facts.
walter kronkite taking off his glasses to tell about jfk's assassination was about as emotional as it got in those days.

4chan and 8chan's Politically Incorrect boards (there are several other boards like /biz/ which has made me alot of money in crypto) have literally been the most correct over the past 10 or so years with the news. I used to think they were all crazy when I was an MSNBC/CNN fanboy, but 2016 opened my eyes up to a lot because they called things months before it happened, or broke down media stories into what they really were. They were saying Nate Silver would be wrong for more than 7 months.

What makes those sites good is there is no rating system which pushes popular/unpopular posts. If you say something dumb, you'll get called out. If you say something smart, you'll get kudos. Plus, there's a lot of people with autism on those sites so they really get deep in the weeds and uncover a lot of stuff. For example, much of the Epstein news, such as the Zorro Ranch thing that the news is just now talking about this week, has been discussed for years on 4chan/8chan.

The problem with those two sites is sometimes people post an image that's NSFW. Luckily all images are in a tiny window unless you expand it but still very random. Also there have been "mass shooters" that have posted their manifestos on 8chan in particular. Many think these were planned takedowns because of how unfiltered the site is and the news that gets broken. Both were becoming pretty influential. For example, Epstein's death was broken an hour before ANY news media outlet had the story. There have been plenty of other discussions too, like the Rothschild family member who posted on 4chan in 2011 and made a bunch of predictions that have mostly all come through.

CNN? Fox? MSNBC? WSJ? NBC? CBS? HuffPo? Rush? Nah... none of those places will give you the straight news as it's all biased opinion and they receive orders from their masters. There is a reason why Israeli and Russian bots infiltrate the chans during election time. They are very influential and the memes that traveled to Twitter and Facebook helped Trump win.

What they're doing now is creating social media accounts pretending to be Jews and I can't believe how it's been working so far. They are changing opinions. It's almost like hiding in plain-sight but it's worked out tremendously: https://slate.com/technology/2019/08...ers-again.html

They tweeted things like “I am Jewish and see…hatred towards European people from Jews every day” and “I can’t tell you how saddening it is to hear my fellow Jews talking down to people of color – referring to them as mere goyem trash.” They had names like Simon Edelson and Chaim Adelberg.
It's genius and has confused people who don't know which side to pick (see Trump's statements yesterday as well).

The Trumpies want you to think there are no reliable news outlets. They, of course, are wrong.

I block out almost everything. If I lived alone, I’d never turn on the TV. I am really only interested in local news, so i read the local paper. The national news is really just “same ****, different day”.
