As we all know there are a plethora of news agencies out there. I have come to find that this will define who you are. Most political or social factions derive their news from merely one or two news entities. I try to be as unbiased at possible when reading news and try to stay away from the big names.
If you had to list where you read your from from how would it look?
This is my list.
1. Dailymail
2. Army Times
3. Al Jazeera, American Version
4. Al Jazeera, Middle Eastern Version
5. Fox and CNN if I grow bored
And Open Source for those who may know what that is.

Not ABC NBC CBS MSNBC CNN nor FOX. I trust FOX the most. I think FOX is biased but the others are flat liars.

I prefer comedy news. Its good to season the serious with the humorous.

I do as well...and its marketed to the masses for that reason. Have you ever heard people using John Stuart's or Colbert's talking points in conversation? That's funnier than the broadcast. I had to stop someone and say, you know that's a comedian right? Citizens no longer know the diffrence between journalists vs commentators. One has a degree and a is bound by (hopefully) ethics and the other is paid to give "their" oppion. They don't need sorces they just talk...and talk based on what they think. Sad because there's a whole world of news out there...

MSgt Michelle Mondia, I'm not sure how much difference there is in journalists and commentators anymore in the majority of media. There's still some decent sources out there and honestly, the meta-news that humor outlets like the daily show, Colbert report or my personal favorite Last Week Tonight deliver often has more deliberate thought and thought provocation behind it than the main networks. Of course I listen to NPR and read internet news also so I end with a pretty diverse news intake.
I commented on another RP discussion to this effect and was looking for it but I'm not sure where it was.
There was a really interesting study on single source news and its effect on consumers, you may enjoy it.

"A journalist (hopefully) is guided by journalistic integrity: unbiased reporting of facts, vetting their sources, and not reporting speculation. An political agenda should be non existent in their reporting.
A commentator is upfront about their views on a given topic. They may bring in information or facts but their function in news is elucidate their opinion. Which may or not hold up to academic rigor. They can say whatever the want and you can agree or disagree. But it's not journalism."

I think we're being distracted by the opinions of others and not seeking our own truth based on factual reporting. Which is why, think about every conversation you've ever had...people reapeat the same slanted biased information. In our media, talking points are repeated over and over and just because it's on the news...Doesn't mean it's true anymore. The sad thing is that people vote based on this information, it's an industry.
