Trustworthy conservative news sources in the US?

I'm surprised by the across the board rankings of both the WSJ and The Economist. Pretty good tbh.

Edit: Same with USA Today and the BBC, I thought I was the only loser who liked USA Today.

Would a progressive bias be better for you?

It's just a really smug and pretentious saying.

"Reality has a left wing bias" is a simple way of saying "I'm right, because I stand with reality, and you're just delusional."

I am probably best summarized as a Centre-Left Nationalist, and I have to say that I agree. "Reality has a left-wing bias" is nothing but low-class bumper-sticker politicking. The phrase exists primarily for self-gratification, and should only be used for countering equally self-gratifying phrases like the one about "heart by 20, brain by 30".

These are conservative positions. Why wouldn't conservatives endorse Trump our call out Chairman Obama on his birth in Honolulu? I think what you are really asking is if there is an American conservative news outlet that book licks progressive Democrats in which case you will find none.
...

The Right has been burning through ridiculous amounts of social capital and making themselves look like racist idiots since the beginning with the whole Birtherism thing. It's not only likely untrue, but makes it that much easier for the Left to portray the Right as a bunch of delusional, racist conspiracy theorists.

Similarly, social conservatives blew threw a ridiculous amount of social capital trying to suppress gays, and it didn't even work. You know why? Because gays are not, and were not, ever a threat to the long-term functioning of Western society. But because social conservatives spent so much effort fighting gays, they lost credibility on issues that actually might hurt the country for real.

Culture does matter, but the Traditionalists haven't done well at triageing it.

Trump is the product of a lot of uncatered-to voices and is beyond my ability to predict, so I won't comment on that.

Breitbart, Townhall, the Federalist, and National Review are pretty good...they've made a handful of errors I can think of "off hand" but nothing major.

Townhall is not a good source. They're a bunch of wingnuts with blogs. Not a news source, although they occasionally(emphasis on occasionally) have a decent op ed.
Breitbart has been getting better, but it's still not a great source.
The federalist and national review are pretty good though.

More specifically, they're not even mainstream conservative positions. Birtherism is the sedevacante of American conservatism; hated by non-birthers, especially those on the right that resent being associated with it, and so loony that other right wingers(who have to deal with it regularly) wouldn't tolerate it either.
The mainstream right loathes birtherism.

I think we need to establish there are actually trustworthy news sources, before getting to the specifics of region and ideology.

[Dejanic]

Their isn't many, but there's hardly many trustworthy "liberal" news sources either. News sources are generally just shitty in the USA.

[SaintB]

If you want a trustworthy news source then don't look for one that has a political bias.

They're all jokes in America, especially CNN. (Communist News Network).

[Alvecia]

I wouldn't really call any news source that is know to lean to any particular side "trustworthy".
The best way of getting news is to get it straight from the front of the cycle, i.e. Associated Press or Reuters, or to listen to news sources from all ends of the political spectrum and look for the details that match.
I also trust more stories done by a "biased" news source that show their own leanings in a bad light. I'm more likely to trust a source not afraid to criticise itself.

Also for stories inside a particular nation or demographic, I look for sources outside of it as well as inside of it, which is why Al Jazeera is a good news source for me because the different perspective helps to gain a better perspective, and may help identify biases that I hadn't noticed before.

Everything has political bias.

Everything has political bias.

Hence, no news sources are trustworthy.

Actually, what bias does the AP have?

Some might argue AP has a leftward bias, albeit one of the weakest ones around.

I work in news and AP and Ruetors really only report the facts. Its pretty dry reading.

Huh, turns out there's a wiki section on it.

I never said that. Everything has bias, but that doesn't mean you can't rely on them. I could write you an essay about how anarchism is beneficial, 100% factual. Just because I have an opinion or agenda doesn't mean I'm not telling the truth.

[Esternial]

News sources, in my eyes, are to be taken with some skepticism.

The people that make news articles often do some interpreting themselves, either of events that have happened or studies or what have you. It's generally a good idea to do some further looking up yourself if it's about a topic you're really invested in rather than take it at face value.

I personally like Vice, myself.

The Financial Times is currently considered the most reliable of the business newspapers. Even more so than the Wall Street Journal. It is fairly conservative in outlook. There is a US edition which is different than the British edition.

[Prussia-Steinbach]

Wait. Hold up for just a fucking second there, son. What was that first part? Or like, the whole thing?

American media? Major news publications in the actual USA?

The motherfucking New York Times?

Left-fucking-wing?

Our TV news is trash but we have good quality papers. I've noticed the reverse of this situation in Great Britain.

[Maurepas]

I'm a fan of Reason Magazine.

[Luminesa]

Fox gets a bad rap, but it's not nearly as bad as people say. Of course, it's not exactly a pillar of journalistic integrity either, but if that's what you're looking for you shouldn't rely on cable news anyway. I suppose CNN comes closest, but even that isn't the greatest.
Better sources in the US are more print-type sources. Time, NYT, Forbes, Wall Street Journal, Reuters, Christian Science Monitor, etc. are all pretty good sources.

I forgot Forbes. They can be good but most of it is opinion. The business-oriented sources are generally the most reputable conservative ones.

I like the little quotes they post when you first enter the site.

[Republic of the Cristo]

I thought the NY times were conservative. And really, there are only a select few news sources in America that have no bias ( eliminate every TV station right now ).

[Turkic Confederation]

Breitbart.
