Re: Your Preferred News Source
i usually look at several sources, and see what is the same between them. I'm generally very skeptical of most headlines and I will often google "did ______ really happen?" or "did ______ really do that?" and I'll look at fact checking articles.

Re: Your Preferred News Source
For me when it comes to "primary information" most of the time it doesn't really matter that much. All they're doing is telling you what happened or showing you a video. Like it doesn't matter who says "FBI raids Mar a Lago" since it's somewhat a black and white thing that it's true. Even the normal fake news type places can't make that up.
In terms of "analysis" of news or filtering through the possibly fake ones like Trump was hiding nuclear codes or any of the murky information on Russia-Ukraine, I trust regular people on twitter (widdled down over the years to a smaller list of trustworthy ones) that I follow more than any official journalist or media station. I would rather trust a nobody who I feel has integrity than a somebody who's been guilty of propagandizing in the past.

Re: Your Preferred News Source
When you get to a certain age you acquire wisdom so it doesn't matter where you get your news from. My main source is the BBC. I have always found it factual in its reporting of events and its analysis, when it happens, is balanced. Is it left-leaning in its programming and initiatives? Yes, but I know this, so I acknowledge this and move on. But it's still the best for reporting what's going on in the world. As for American media, I do not have much exposure to it, but when there's really important live reporting, say, the first few weeks of the Ukraine invasion, then I would check CNN to get the complete picture from the U.S. side. Again, like the BBC, I see nothing wrong with CNN's reporting of events and stories.
I also get a ton of news from Google search. I keyword a topic and check the latest news articles for it, and I find a lot of interesting stuff from many credible sources that, say, the BBC hasn't picked up. I also get a lot of news from Facebook. They know me by now, and they push a lot of stuff my way, but most of the time you can identify the bullshit solely from which page is sharing the news.
But to answer the question; the BBC.

Re: Your Preferred News Source
Typically twitter or the local news. Occasionally the BBC. Actual journalists, who do reporting. Not opinion folks. And very rarely twitter talking heads.

Re: Your Preferred News Source
Local news for sure. Occasionally I'll go to the cafeteria at work on break. If Fox News is on, I'll leave. It's the worst.
To be fair, I don't really like CNN either. I prefer unopinionated, non-partisan news reporting.

Re: Your Preferred News Source
I happened upon a Fox News segment the other day called Gutfeld!, and every other line was an insult towards Democrat politicians. I've only ever seen clips of Tucker Carlson before, and I didn't get why people hated Fox News so much, because I thought he was fine - confrontational, sure, but not absurd or wrong (at least in the clips I'd seen). But this Gutfeld guy, damn, he was such an obnoxious prick.

Re: Your Preferred News Source
I like aggregates like Google News, but you have to wipe the data every now and then so the algorhythm isn't just telling me things I like to hear.
Reddit is also useful, but it's a multistep process. The initial headline and article will be very click baity like "Republicans are trying to take away your water" , but then the first or second highest rated comment will usually clear things up in a mostly unbias manner. In the r/news section anyways. In r/conservative (and probably whatever the liberal equivalent is) you will be immediately banned for posting a dissenting opinion.

Re: Your Preferred News Source
I always peak into Fox News now and then, and there is nothing at all about Trump or Russia right now despite those being the top stories everywhere else. Instead this morning’s top story is the woke Air Force.

Re: Your Preferred News Source
Can anyone tell me why Fox News has zero coverage on the war in Russia? I mean I even went to their World News subpage and they have an article about the American Football game in London but nothing on Ukraine. Like why?

I don't visit Fox News, but looking at it I'm seeing an article about Macron comment on Biden's armageddon claims, some of the other stuff like rail explosion isn't too far down the page if you look closer

Re: Your Preferred News Source
I found the Macron stuff, but not the bridge stuff, even if it is there, why bury it so deep?

Re: Your Preferred News Source
They bury it so deep (or don't post about it at all) because Biden's foreign policy is good, and effective, and so they cannot arm the story and use it to hurt their enemy, the Democrats. That's just Fox News for ya'.

Re: Your Preferred News Source
Some of that is probably true (although they do employ Tucker Carlson who doesn't have a shortage of ways to attack Biden on Ukraine), but the standard Republican position is probably pro-Ukraine but a softer version than the Democrats, so I can see why Fox News readers may not be as invested in news about it as the domestic issues. The bridge bomb is a story but since they are already shipping over it again I don't think it's an earth shattering one.

Re: Your Preferred News Source
Biden’s foreign policy isn’t good or effective. Everything they do is completely incompetent. If he or they continue to fail to comply with logic they will no longer be allowed to defy orders when given directly and explicitly. The facade that your government may operate without my/our permission will be ended.

I agree, Biden post the Afghan debacle has been strong on foreign policy and it is obvious the Allies and their intelligences are aiding the people of Ukraine and leading them to a colossal upset against the Russians.

Re: Your Preferred News Source
You have no right or ability to say this shit. You learn your lesson now. You immediately and forever never again say something like that or I really will “rip Americans heart out” and end everything you value. That will be the end because there is nothing whatsoever good about any of it. You are worse than all your enemies and have no right or ability to deny it. You surrender now to the “Goddess of Logic” or you are finished forever and have no future whatsoever.

You may have “freedom of speech”. But you can’t expect respect or tolerance for false ideas or the enemy of truth.
