One should learn to read between the lines, filter out emotions, and opinions while formulating your own. <br /><br />As I lean center left, I read right-wing articles so I can get a different perspective and have a middle grounded opinion.

While those sources you noted above absolutely have a tendency to report incomplete, unsubstantiated, and even downright false reports, they are still sources I use. Much in the same way I look at Fox, when I read something too good/bad to be true, I dig deeper and I look at the report as objective as possible to see what might be missing. Finally, I also try to look at it from the perspective of both sides, asking myself how would I look at this report if I were coming from the left/right&#39;s perspective. The media has done itself a huge disservice recently in their attacks against Trump. Seriously, had this level of rhetoric, unnamed sources, and focus been directed at our previous President, everyone of the responsible media sources would have been branded racist and &quot;fake&quot; just the same. <br /><br />My perspective as a conservative, I like fox because they report more about things I care about (call it the right leaning bias if you will). At times, I think they too push incomplete and unsubstantiated reports (although I think they do it less than many other sources lately). This is not to say I don&#39;t read or watch other sources. I like to know what they other side pushes, what they may neglect to report, and what might lead them to push that report. Gotta say, Trump may not be good at pointing out the bias and calling out the media&#39;s irresponsibility, but he does have a good point and the right to defend himself when attacked.<br /><br />So to answer your question more directly, I look at any and all sources for any and all the facts I can extract. Sometimes this requires multiple sources (including the ones you named) to get the whole picture. What I find humorous from many of the folks who post here is, they post an article as the truth to fit their narrative, but many times they don&#39;t even read or absorb the whole article. Furthermore, they also don&#39;t take the extra step to be a little objective and see if there is more to the story. All they do is copy/paste links from the most bias sources while failing to do some easy research which even those same sources failed to do. When I choose to post a link, I tend to purposefully find one from a source other than Fox or conservative leaning sites. I even conducted an experiment once by linking to a Fox URL, to which many immediately dismissed as biased because it&#39;s Fox. After a few of their dismissive posts, I then pointed out that it was an AP article posted by Fox. My point here is, don&#39;t pigeon hole yourself into a single source and debate your own preferred narrative before you decide to post the source as what you see to be 100% truth.

It&#39;s just my personal opinion but I believe the decline of objective reporting began with the advent of 24-hr broadcast news channels. Seems they all started distorting, stretching, and exaggerating facts to fill up air time. You really have to dig down to the &quot;meat and potatoes&quot; of any article now to get the unbiased truth. BBC does seem to have less overt bias in their reporting of US events.

There&#39;s no news source out there that is 100% reliable. They all have their own spin they put on a story, or embellish some facts while omitting others, or in some way do not report the whole, unequivocal truth. And that&#39;s at best. At worst, they will outright lie to us. FOX News used, in court, as a defense for firing two journalists, that they are not required to be truthful in the stories they air. And they won, based on that argument. Because they aren&#39;t required to tell the truth. Not a damned one of them. They do whatever they can to get ratings up for their advertisers, in order to make money. It&#39;s a business, and we&#39;re the product.

You&#39;re generally going to find people doing journalism more in local news (and yes I know they have their biases). Print news like local papers might be less biased than national media. <br /><br />The thing is journalists are human and there will always be an underlying bias in things they write whether it&#39;s intentional or not.

The most fair reporting I&#39;ve seen comes from Al Jezeera. Granted their editorial department has a noted Arab centric slant. If that isn&#39;t your cup of tea I suggest reading both conservative and progressive outlets. Where the stories line up you have truth, where they diverge you have opinion pretending to be news. Look for just the facts and formulate your own opinion.

I used to be a Fox News watcher.

The vast majority of news outlets have replaced &quot;Facts&quot; about what has actually happened with incessant news &quot;Commentary&quot; that weighs heavily on personal bias, personal opinion, and the opinions of non-validated and anonymous sources. When CNN, NBC, ABC and CBS stick to the facts as they occurred, they are actually reporting the news. When they editorialize and repeat gossip from anonymous sources, as if the gossip was proven and factual i.e. the news, they are in essence reporting fake news, and that goes for every other news source.
