In this post-truth media landscape, what news sources/publications do you use & trust the most, and why?
AP, Reuters, Al Jazeera, Guardian
This helps:
Reuters and AP have both been extremely biased towards the perpetrators of the Gaza genocide.
Reuters lied about Maccabi supporters attacking Dutch people instead of the other way around and manufactured fake outrage about pogroms.
Reuters also said they confirmed oct7 rape footage evidence which turned out to be a lie because it does not exist.
BBC
The ABC
Guardian
Democracy Now
CBC
NPR
Basically anyone who is getting removeded at for not towing the line
If you still trust those after their coverage of the Gaza genocide has been so extremely biased towards the perpetrator, I would encourage you to rethink.
Democracy now!!! Yas.
Good collection. I like just kinda getting a grasp on what the biase is and holding it loosely.
I like cbc its public etc. Pretty balanced. Yet we also know it is neo-liberal and likely to indulge a bit far on some gender politics etc. I agree, having several outlets is important.
As others have said no one source should have blanket trust.
Understanding the bias the source may have by looking up who owns/funds it and understanding how that might skew what you’re reading is important.
For news based on studies I usually will try to directly to the study which should list the methodology which will help show how well done it was.
If I have time later I’ll put together a list of ones I use and what I’ve seen as their biases.
I ask gemini and take everything it says as 100% fact 🙏
BBC and CBC. They’re not unbiased, but I haven’t found any better.

Why? Because they have not spread pro Israel propaganda without doing a minute amount fact checking. Or worse, straight up lying for Israel.
There are a few, such as TheGuardian, which have spread massive Israeli propaganda for a year. They have recently turned around tried to put the mask back on. But they have already shown their true face.

I feel like their bias is to simply not cover things they do not want to show.
But the reason I find them more credible is because they are able to provide sources and not quote their own random anonymous journalists. If I can check the sources I can verify claims.

The environmental sensors on my local network.
BBC, AP, The Guardian, NYT, NBC, CBC, The Conversation, The Atlantic, Nature.
Fox News says The Gulf of Mexico is now The Gulf of America. I trust that they said it. Same as any other organization. They said X. That’s about it. The real selfish, honest truth, unless if effects me personally or will cause me to act, I really don’t care.
Make sure you check out Fair.org too!
None. I get my news from 4chan.

No single source. I like how Verity collates the facts and the spins from multiple sources across the web.
