What?

Anyway OP your not going to find a trustworthy news source if your barometer is 'what ideological bent do they have?' Its best to search for news with an open mind, compare multiple sources, and from there determine which source got the most right most of the time.

Brietbart is a good one, InfoWars and the Drudge Report are all very good

Regularly delves into sensationalist non-founded nonsense and perpetuates many pseudoscientific views about the LGBT community.

InfoWars


I shouldn't even have to say anything about this one...

Drudge Report


Drudge has a very clear bias towards Donald Trump and tailors the stories that he posts to match that as opposed to selecting headlines based on relevance and integrity of source.

I don't see how any of those are 'trustworthy.'

okay then name one news source of any leaning that you find trustworthy
there isn't one 100% trustworthy news source, these are just the most trustworthy

They are far from trustworthy. FOX NEWS is more trustworthy than all three of those combined.

More trustworthy sources include such organizations as the BBC, the AP, Reuters, New York Times (despite the Clinton bias of the editorial board), Washington Post. I'll even posit the Wall Street Journal.

Seriously you think InfoWars are one of the most trustworthy news sources?

Actually, what bias does the AP have?

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.


That essay would not be false, no, but say a person got all the information he ever heard about anarchism from three essays, all with an agenda like yours. While they may not have absorbed any lies, they have a biased opinion because they haven't heard both sides of the story, because they only read biased essays. The unforunate reality is, if pro-anarchism is liberalism, there are 3 or 4 pro-anarchism essays for every one anti-anarchism essay, and that one anti-anarchism (conservative) essay is most likely lacking in some citations. Is the viewpoint any less legitimate? No! But it is hell to find good reliable sources even if you are attempting to use two essays from opposing views to form your own opinion.

Okay, no. That's ridiculous and you have no idea what you're talking about. InfoWars is literal conspiracy theory bullshit. Holy fuck, at least Breitbart and Fox actually talk about real events.

Fox really isn't that terrible. Its got the same sensationalism as all cable networks, but the idea that its unreliable or makes things up stems from people's inability to separate the op-eds and shock jock shows from the news itself. I won't say Fox tries to market Bill O'Reiley's catch phrases as breaking news, but they don't separate opinions from news as well as they could. The reason the liberal cable channels Fox Business Network seems less biased is simply because they do a better job of this separation - though still not what I'd call a good job .

The NYT has an institutional bias towards the Hillary Clinton wing of the democrats, but their individual reporters and columnists can buck that.

That's also true for watching MSNBC and CNN. Really, cable news is just terrible.

Forbes, National Review, and Christian Science Monitor are more specifically reliable Conservative sources. Dallas Morning News and Houston Chronicle are also reliable, and although their bias is complicated, I'd say they probably lean republican.

All television is by its nature passive. You watch it and accept it. People make statements and you listen. Because of this it is very easy to talk as if the statements being made are true. It is a complete packaged message.
