Trying to decide on where to get news…
I've found that you have do your own search once you ID a story you want to know more about.
Both sides are printing/reporting mostly inflammatory propaganda to support their own preconceived ideas on almost anything.

This x 1000, when it comes to politics.

RE: the graphic and such.

There is more than just bias and phrasing that goes into left vs right sources.

In my opinion, the right will word and position things with favorable biasing toward the right. It's minimal in it's misguidance, misinformation. It doesn't lie. I could be wrong but that's my limited perception.

On the other hand, the left will outright lie and misinform, ends justify the means, and it's not just about favorable biasing. And it's not in the public best interest but rather to the benefit of the self serving elite. I don't think I'm wrong and this is not just my limited perception.

You have bias and positioning. Then you have lies and misinformation and corruption and elitist self serving.

The difference between left and right is such.

It is truly not that difficult to sort the wheat from the chaff with such inept and clumsy “joemalaship“ running the country today.

It’s simply just not that hard. If their mouths are open, there lyin’ sacks of shite.

We know the truth … it’s not the “news” you need to trust or believe. Trust in your whole life (education, experience and faith).

I like Daily Wire, Townhall, Instapundit, and PJ Media. They all seem to be hooked together, but have a slightly different range of articles. I also like Twitchy.

Thanks you all for your insight. It appears that the WSJ is the preferred source for many.

Chellum, I sure don’t want a 1000 new threads on Biden or Covid. I did recognize that a lot of what I may want to know is in the mega-threads, which I rarely read.

Ryan226, I have had that approach for ages. Sometimes I would like to know a little more than how many javelina footprints are in my gravel lawn.

jaaron11, thanks for the graphic. It is nice to see where the news stations sit.

I may give the WSJ a try. Thank you.

WSJ ain’t bad; their editorial board is fairly on point and straightforward.

Getting away from all the MSM who gets their daily briefing from the propagandist IC, is the first start.

News will make it to the surface anywhere you go.
The point of view from those places will vary.
But news is available anywhere and everywhere.
So if you think you will get unadulterated, unfiltered, straight news > those days are long gone.
I don't like seeing the news as mostly what is covered is "bad shit that is happening".
Local news is the worst - when the 10:00 news starts they always lead with a killin' or similar.
You know ~ "if it bleeds is leads". Frown
If you want it filtered to your point of view then there are plenty of options and I guess that was the point of the OP question.

I find that The Daily Wire supports the ethics and integrity I'm looking for most of the time. A little too much pop culture for me, I'd rather they break away from twitter and hollyweird.

Like many here, most of the news I care about can be found and discussed in a thread on this very forum.
