Apparently CNN is liberal propaganda, Fox News is right wing propaganda. CBS and ABC are fake news. Whats left?

The Hill, Reuters, AP (mostly for breaking stories), BNODesk (great coverage of coronavirus related news)

That's off the top of my head

@OpenShut The Hill historically has a bias to the right, though I do think they generally (85% of the time) are fair about their reporting.

I would agree with Reuters and AP, and then I oftentimes try to go for outside perspectives like BBC, Guardian, and DW - I know these also have their biases but being foreign-based it's a different kind of bias at least, plus it's more reporting on events around the world that a lot of American outlets tend to ignore.

Yes, Hexenherz, great point about using foreign outlets.

The Hill seems to fluctuate bias depending who is in power in my experience. However, even with bias, they stick with facts and very little conjecture.

There is no unbiased news. The best you can do is collate a few different (reliable) sources of news.
24-hour cable news is mostly trash, for example, because they're looking to fill air time in a way that'll keep you from changing the channel. Regardless of which outlet it is.

Reuters and AP are the closest to unbiased. They are also the sources for almost all news, so everything else is basically just spinning their stories.

btw I find American coverage from the major European broadcasters, (DW France 24 for instance) to be genuinely very good and frankly often better than the big 6 sadly enough.

CNN is fine if you know its designed for clickbait. So you can get a general idea of a topic then you can research yourself. They arent as misleading as lets say Fox News or telling borderline lies like Brietbart

CNN is centrist, they just suck.
Great news sources are AP, Reuters, NPR, ABC/CBS/NBC, local news stations.

CNN and MSNBC arent great but are far better than Fox News which shouldnt even qualify as a news channel.

"This is centrist" just means "this agrees with me."

This is why according to CE, CNN is centrist and Democrats are center-right.

gotta aggregate across multiple sources, particularly independent outlets

foreign outlets are also good, though they have their own political interests and biases

but avoid all 24-hour mainstream news networks

CNN isn't liberal. Liberals hate CNN as much as Conservitives do. MSNBC is more liberal then CNN. CNN is more center left, it still has a bias toward democrats but most democrats are not liberals ether.

NPR is probably the least bias but the right claims they have a liberal bias too.

Yet most people who call CNN centrist are liberals who hate CNN.

npr is pretty nuanced but it does have a moderately liberal bent, albeit far less biased than most other major outlets

The hard truth is you have to read/watch all three, then read between the lines, then look at independent/expert opinions and not just the "experts" CNN/Fox news let on the air. If you truly care about the truth.

A good mixture of podcasts and articles from the right and left help. I find podcasts are a great way to get information, especially with credible people.

I generally don't use MSM, though. I literally just look at the headlines they are pushing with the mindset "what's the agenda here?" rather than "what's the news today?". It's kind of sad when I think about it. I haven't trusted the MSM since 9/11.
