What is your primary news source?

[Red Roja]

Sources I trust: Reuters and NHK World (English)

Sources I am iffy about: BBC, PBS News, ABC, and NBC

Sources I don't trust: Breitbart, Buzzfeed, CNN, Foxnews, Huffpost, Infowars, MSNBC, and RT.

For local news I watch my local ABC affiliate and when I want a nice laugh, I read the Onion.

why are you iffy about BBC, PBS News, ABC, and NBC?

They are a bit biased. Reuters and NHK World English are both very objective and use neutral language.

[Prolets Isl]

A mixture of Der Spiegel, BBC, AP, and Al Jazeera.

Edit: Reuters also sometimes for English world news.
I have a bunch of other outlets i trust for other regional news.

[Aravea]

BBC, WaPO, Haretz, Fox, NYT, The Hill, Vox(for the laughs, same with CNN), Reuters

My omniscience.

Nah just kidding, NSG.

I don't know which answer is more ridiculous

[Earth Orbit]

I'm a teen, so take my response with a grain of salt.

Most of the media here in America is stupidly sensationalized, and that's before you factor in the hugely leftist political bias. I consider most sources a waste of time. (Looking at you, CNN.)

However, my parents get the WSJ, and that's usually fine thanks to their focus on the market taking off the political edge. Since I live in Indiana, the local news is also good - it's run by people I can relate to, not distanced unintelligent urbanites who think the Midwest is just crop fields.

I also use several subreddits; if something genuinely important is happening, I cross-reference between them to compile the most likely story. When the coronavirus thing was just starting, I crossed between r/worldnews, r/askscience and Google to very quickly determine that it wasn't a cause for concern in the US. In the meantime everyone was still having a freakout.

Probably the latter tbh.

Is twitter a news source?

[Aravea]

I generally watch either my local news service, or Sky News Australia. Sky News is good for the most part, although its opinion shows are usually heavily conservative-leaning.

I also watch a little CNN or BBC on occasion, with the very rare visit to Fox News just to see how pandering they are on a particular day.

Oh, and sometimes ABC or SBS have something interesting on, although I don't normally go to them for news.

Oh don't kid yourself, CNN is just as pandering at times. BBC tends to be fairly objective though with their coverage of America centric news.

Twitter is more a Millennial thing. Gen Z isn't really into it.

Mine is usually government reports or google. Their more ''credible'' than other news sources.

Since when did google have a news agency?

[HUElavia]

I personally prefer NPR, Reuters, and AP as my news.

[The Anarchy of Kill]

The Onion

[Costa Hermosa]

The local newspaper.

[San Lumen]

You are aware that is satire correct?

What?!? It is?!?

[The Evil Dark Empire of Evil Darkness]

I prefer the Daily Planet. Love that Clark Kent guy

[Urlendia]

NRK, Aftenposten and the local newspaper

[Tirnagael]

NPR, Reuters, AP, any of the other major news outlets get vetted based on the content. For example, Fox News is (surprisingly) reliable with regard to non-political topics and some of their staff writers on their website have decent credibility. The same can be said for the various NBC outlets, if it isn't on MSNBC it's usually pretty reliable, but as with everything else one needs to do some of their own fact checking before deciding on the validity of whatever is being put forth. The same can't be said for other outlets (coughcoughCNNcoughcough) anymore, though.

They may have meant they google for news?

[South Ccanda]

Honestly, I hear more from NSG than anywhere else. I don' really like tv.

[Cisairse]

My primary news source is the New York Times, which I read in print on Saturdays and Sundays and digitally (through a paid subscription) the rest of the week.

Beyond the Times, I often read Politico for political news, and occasionally scroll through Apple News to get hot takes from other outlets. I will rarely check the Washington Post or AP News websites if I want to get an alternative look at an important story.
