If CNN is biased for the democrats and Fox News is biased for the republicans, then where can I go to find out the truth?

None of them. People are inherently biased and all of them have an agenda.

Reuters, Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal, and a few others.

Neither Bloomberg nor wsj are unbiased.

I think that the biggest problem is that the line between "news" and "opinion" have been blurred, and the average person can't tell the difference. Newspapers used to have an entire section titled "Opinion", filled with editorials and such. Most news programs on the 24 hour cycle are padded out with the "Opinion" section, with headlines, the "News" section, is given 3-5 minutes at the top of every hour, or running on a ticker.

It's pretty much impossible to be truly unbiased.

In general text will be better at being unbiased than audio/visual news.

Reuters and APNews are my go to. It's pretty remarkable what their top news stories are vs. CNN/Fox/NYT. Both of them feel like actual news instead of endless op-eds.

The Fake News is working overtime. Just reported that, despite the tremendous success we are having with the economy & all things else, 91% of the Network News about me is negative (Fake). Why do we work so hard in working with the media when it is corrupt? Take away credentials?


So, basically, negative = fake.

One that reports any current event by just stating the events without opinion. (As much as possible)

But even that is subject to the biases of the people deciding what events are worth including.

MSNBC should be down by CNN. Huffpo should be further left. And at this point you could just throw fox in the bottom right. But yeah overall I agree. I prefer NPR and PBS.

Really though no news is unbiased.

The graph would be much more accurate if everything except for the conservative portions moved way over to the left. CNN is basically an establishment Democrat news source. The author is aware of conservative bias, but blind to a lot of liberal bias. Partisanship 101 stuff.

Then there is the fact that certain biases are missed altogether, such as the near unanimous MSM support for war in Iraq and Syria.

Your thinking they should all be moved over to the left says more about you than the news sources themselves tbh. You're obviously so far to the right that anything in the center looks leftist to you.

There's no such thing as "unbiased" news. All news has inherent biases, as all humans have built in biases.

What you should look out for are news sources that are open about their respective biases and the slant that has on their reporting as a result.

Recognizing their biases, I personally prefer Al Jazeera English, NPR, BBC, and I should give PBS more of a watch but just haven't really as of late.

A lot of MSM sources, but I recognize their biases. There are also several libertarians I follow.

Reuters is probably the best for the least amount of bias.
NPR is one of the better ones as well. Despite having a clear liberal bias due to having so many connections with higher education, it makes a point of avoiding strong language and will ask fair questions to people on both sides.
BBC is pretty decent as well. While the reporting on UK news can stumble into censorship due to the way it works there, it is very useful on World news because their bias is liberal in some ways and conservative in others, just because the UK works very differently from the USA.

Between the three of them you're gonna be better off than any 24 hour news network. Bias isn't inherently bad either, which is another common misconception.
