All we see now is the overall biases of both sides whether it be Fox, CNN, NBC or whoever.

So if that's the case and all sources of news are putting a political spin on it, how should we be getting our news so it's not biased?

Honest question, not trying to stir shit up.

Reuters, AP, NYT, Washington Post, local news paper.
This is pretty good: https://www.adfontesmedia.com

In general, TV news is going to be pushing stories and perspectives to get ratings. It's why you hear Trump care about ratings, he watches the news, he doesn't read it. Read your news from reliable sources.

You can't use a single source. All these outlets are corporate, which means they are largely parroting what the wealthy want you to see or hear for whatever reason. For example, the Washington Post, for some reason already pushed by a poster here, is owned by Jeff Bezos. You cannot seriously expect that to be an unbiased source of news in regards to politics. I suggest following specific journalists over outlets.

Its not like its all lies, its the recent spin of news telling you how you should feel about political opinions.

Like you should be able to make up your own mind regarding the BLM protests without need of news anchors. Also most of these fake news thing started because of every media that is not FOX showing and talking about Trump for what he really is.

Yeah this was kinda my thoughts while making the topic. I feel like it might be best to get your news from boths sides and kinda formulate your own truth to the spin that they are pushing. But I just didn't know if there was something better out there.

Im gonna go ahead and say it. Mainstream media isnt as biased as people say.

Sure, there are examples and instances where Fox News/CNN are clearly biased, but its still a decent way to see whats going on that day.

CNN still plays a fair amount of primary sources on their channel. Fox News plays almost none, and if it is...its usually heavily edited.

If you avoid the late night shows on their like Don Lemon, Tucker Carlson, Rachel Maddox, etc...you can get decent information still.

Honestly I think watching all is the only answer. I cycle between BBC world news, CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News when I want a good laugh.

Every news will have some form of bias, even "independent" sources. The best way to tackle the news is to consume most of it and come up with your own opinion on said news. I like to look at 2 extremes sometimes and see what kind of message they're pushing so I can get to the grey where there is some semblance of truth.

Yeah. I feel like when watching both sides to can really get the sense of which one is pushing their agenda harder and whatnot.

I imagine Fox would be one of the least trusted for most people just because their bias is the most evident but who knows.
