heres what you do,
  • step 1) listen to (in any order, i just went by alphabetical) BBC, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, Whatever Else.
  • step 2) accept the fact that all those organizations are owned by people with their own agendas and will twist, or (in some cases) lie, or just outright make shit up on the spot to support their arguments.
  • step 3) realize that you're not a dumb sheep, and that the truth lies somewhere in the middle of all the bullshit, and that you'll never find a legit one stop shop for accurate political news.
  • step 4) after gathering all the infos, come to your own conclusion based on the information provided to you.

any one who religiously believes everything they hear on FOX, or MSNBC, (or any of them really) is a fucking moron, and shouldnt be allowed to procreate or operate heavy machinery, for the safety of everyone around them.

Thanks peeps so far.

Any more small name sites folks haven't mentioned yet?

Lron, stop posting in my threads, I have you on ignore.

The point of this, btw, is some news companies won't report issues that are hurtful to their "side."

Such as the left wing sites not reporting on the current administration's weak foreign policy. Or right wing sites not reporting bush had issues keeping putin in line also.

I'm hoping to find more sites to hear about the stories the other news agencies don't have the balls to publish.

You're asking a poor question. It's not which sources are unbiased; it's which facts are true and which conclusions are valid based on decently verified fact. For that, you just have to hear stuff out. There isn't some outlet in your wall you can just plug into and receive truth into your brain that you don't have to sift, question, and doubt.

You have to go outside, chop the damn thing down, cut it into pieces, and put a tarp over it to protect it against the rain of people who are intellectually lazy and dishonest, which share bullcrap on their facebook pages just because it reinforces their feelings of being right all the time, because they're more interested in the perception of being right than honestly evaluating the reason of their adversaries.

Bias is an attribute of news, but it's not anywhere near the most important one. An article can be ridiculously biased yet still present a ton of valid reasoning and well validated facts.

I'd say all Mainstream Media News channels are biased, that's my opinon on it. Any one of their news anchors who try to say anything which isn't handed to them in a script, get fired soon as the news are over. I'd recommend looking for stable alternate media news sources, if you're looking for some semblance of truth from your news reading.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned The Guardian yet.

The BBC is probably one of the best for appearing impartial, but their mask is cracking. The establishment don't like to be challenged and in this video they spent about 3-4 minutes trying to discredit a growing political party that doesn't want to be in a political union with the EU.

Also they called the collapse of WTC building 7...15-20 minutes before it happened.

I watch Russia Today (www.rt.com) and smaller channels if I watch the news at all, which isn't often, but with an open mind knowing they're obviously pro Russia and anti Europe/US.

OP, do you mean you are looking for more center-leaning sources?
