What is your primary news source?

[Rainbowsix]

i get it from allsides.com and i get my news from fox news also

[Munkcestrian Republic]

The Guardian, RT and Al-Jazeera. Yes, I'm a leftie, no I won't apologise.

Qatar, left-wing paradise

[Munkcestrian Republic]

Breitbart.

My default is RTÉ for most Irish news, but honestly, I prefer social media or local sources. I'll usually read Breitbart for things outside of the country or in the US.

[Munkcestrian Republic]

I am curious what people’s primary news sources are. Mine is ABC. I watch the local news almost every night at 11 and sometimes earlier at 5 and 6. I also occasionally watch CNN. I also usually watch This Week on Sunday’s on ABC.

I like my news the old fashioned way. Someone sitting at a desk reading me the news. No pundits, no analysis no ticker at the bottom of the screen.

I also read USA Today frequently.

What is your primary news source?

No one primary news source. I try to identify the most objectively factual news sources and than categorize them by inherent bias to get a reflection of the socio-political contention within that group. I used to catogorize them into Unfortunately in the last few years, it has been difficult to separate the truth-tellers from the narrative talkers in general. I do not like American Neoconservative or what is called Alt-RightO news sources (those that use Leftist means to obtain right wing ends) in particular. I try to stick with Paleoconservative (American Sense) and Objectivist sources when I can for right of centre news.

Currently for the US;

Leftist/Socialist/Statist sources:
PBS/NPR, NYT, Atlantic, Daily Kos, Snopes etc. Since most establishment sources are Progressivist/Leftist and they all seem to parrot each other, I don't have any one particular. For specific topics I use Google (whose algorithm puts Leftist information to the forefront). For a left leaning news aggregator I use Drudge and Google search itself.

For Conservative (Classical Liberal), Traditional American, or and/or Libertarian:
Fox News Talking Heads (Not the Fox News Reports itself), Brietbart, WWD, SRN, Free Republic, Foundations like Cato, Reason, Heritage, FEE, Mises.org etc; and use Good Gopher for particular topics. For a news aggregator I use Whatfinger.

For satire and lampoonery:
Onion News and Babylon Bee

For way out there hysteria of the deranged variety:
CNN or MSNBC (Lunatic Left) and Inforwars (Paranoid Right).

For International News
i try to locate/isolate the actual news source itself and determine its veracity, and use the most closest media that seems objective enough for the means. For example a border conflict between Israel and Lebanon, I would consult Isreali Media Outlets, as well as Lebanese outlets. Then cross reference it with BBC, various US State Department reports,etc.

addenda:
For Local News"
I use the daily paper of the town down the road that also reports (generally) events that happen in rural areas of the county. I also check with the lady at the flower shop. She knows everything that is going on with everybody. Just ask her.

What a post!

[Munkcestrian Republic]

I don't watch Fox News unless my grandfather has it on. Tucker Carlson has too much economic authoritarianism, bleeding heart stuff (ESPECIALLY muh opioid crisis) and informality (among other things) to really be on my "MUST WATCH" list.

amazing

To my knowledge, the only overtly and openly leftist source that I am currently subscribed to is the Center for Public Integrity. I also follow Marianne Williamson wherever I can, and not just to laugh or enjoy the madness. I consider her a legitimately honorable and righteous person whose out-of-the-box ideas and literal Gnosticism to be refreshingly in good faith. She touched my heart, not my mind.

Marianne Williamson is not a "literal Gnostic"

Lastly, there's Villager News, which has never been biased in its existence. Nor has it been wrong.

think you forgot The Club Penguin Times

[Definitely Not Trumptonium]

Daily Mail.

But they blocked my adblocker, so I am less in touch with news now than two months ago. In fact, barely at all. Now a combination of twitter, daily mail and whenever I accidentally have the news on in the background on tv.

[Munkcestrian Republic]

Daily Mail.

explains a lot

[Cekoviu]

Reuters and a local newspaper. I don't really watch the news on TV, I just read it online.

[Telconi]

Great choice, Al Jazeera is one of the most reliable news outlets, up there with KCNA, LifeSiteNews, Natural News, and Stormfront.

Al Jazeera once said a majority of Arabs support ISIS, which is clearly not true and is ironically islamaphobic as fuck, yet it was peddled by a mainly Muslim news site

Arab =/= Muslim

[Bear Stearns]

The Wall Street Journal - for business news and some political stuff
The New Yorker - for cultural takes - I like their movie reviews
Chicago Tribune - local news
Tucker Carlson Tonight - Can't Cuck the Tuck!

[Stylan]

Internet forums unironically

[Saiwania]

Who cares about mainstream media anymore?

My sources are primarily Youtube, and the Daily Mail for anything pertaining to the UK. Maybe OANN (they might become big in the future, keep your eye on that one). And on rarer occasions, Stormfront.

[The Grims]

NSG.

[Heloin]

The BBC World Service for international news, the SABC and the ZBC for news from home, and the Florida Times-Union for local stuff.

[Dumb Ideologies]

The BBC, primarily out of habit since these days they're promoting lots of non-news liberal lifestyle items and "news" relating to their own shows, as well as being not very subtly biased against my man Jeremy Corbyn.

No wonder your views are terrible.

[Risottia]

What is your primary news source?

RadioRAI 3, RAI News (tv and website), BBC website, La Repubblica, France24, Euronews.

[Redternetia]

Most of the news I find is posted by other individual people like Discord, Reddit, or even NS. This tends to lead to a wide variety of sources. When I'm especially interested though, I use the World Socialist Web Site, which is a Trotskyist publication, and Liberation News, which is the news organ of the Party for Socialism and Liberation.

[Silver Commonwealth]

I don't watch TV anymore, and I don't read much newspapers either, so... Unless Reddit, Google, and this site counts, then I don't have a particular primary news source.

[Ethel mermania]

NPR for the left, ny post for the right, then I will look up stuff that interests me.

Don't forget the World Net Daily tabloid and CNN!

What's wrong with Natural News, though, if you stay away from the pro-disease anti-vaccine crap? I don't see their work that often, but they haven't really been dishonest or stupid from the few articles and snippets I notice.

It's an anti-science troglodyte outlet. They push pseudoscienctific fake news and propaganda about, among other things, fluoridated drinking water, GMO crops, genetically modified mosquitoes, nuclear power, vaccines (as you mentioned), and "chemtrails", as well as promoting conspiracy theories on Sandy Hook.

According to Natural News, "HIV does NOT cause AIDS. HIV does not cause anything. A staggering statement given the hype and acceptance by the scientific establishment and, through them, the public that the HIV virus is the only cause of AIDS. HIV is a weak virus and does not dismantle the immune system. Nor is AIDS passed on sexually."

It is worth noting that the above blog post is authored by David Icke, the man who believes that the world is controlled by a race of reptiles from outer space who reside in underground tunnels. If you thought things couldn't get much darker than AIDS denialism, you'd be wrong. Natural News reached dangerous new levels of hysteria when it published a post indirectly calling for the deaths of journalists, publishers and scientists who have worked on the topic of genetically modified organisms. In this latest post Mike Adams, the creator of Natural News, calls for the creation of a list of pro-GMO "publishers, journalists and scientists":

[Swindenland]

Primarily the Guardian, but I frequently also check BBC, Euronews, Tagesschau, SRF and Fox News for fun.

[Telconi]

NPR for the left, ny post for the right, then I will look up stuff that interests me.

I listen to NPR's radio broadcast, because the other option is literally Rush Limbaugh.

[United Muscovite Nations]

Al Jazeera for most international use.

Great choice, Al Jazeera is one of the most reliable news outlets, up there with KCNA, LifeSiteNews, Natural News, and Stormfront.

Al Jazeera has bias, but acting like it's a straight propaganda rag is absolutely bonkers, it's a well-respected news agency that is used as a source by virtually every media outlet in the world.
