What 's your go to source online for real news not the regular BS

Please don't say Fox or Twitter, i'm talking about factual real journalism.

There is really no "single source" any longer, it's become far more granular in people looking to specific reporters who have proven themselves to be more objective more often. The easiest way to access them is by following them on social media, thus defeating your "don't say Twitter" criteria.

I actually go to the Apple news app often because I at least like to see the headlines and the lies from the other side. Occasionally, I’ll click on an article if it’s preposterous enough, but it’s good to know what your enemy is up to.

Didn’t Sun Tzu say something about that? ;-)

My answer to this is the same every time. There are pretty much zero actual journalist outfits out there. I'm not sure there ever were any but there aren't any now

The only real purpose any of the outlets serve is that they do tell you generally what people are talking about at any given time. After that it's on you. If CNN tells you that the CDC says XYZ then you need to go look at the data. And if you don't understand the data then take up bingo.

This idea that you can sit on your sofa with your thumb up your arse and just hopefully tune in to some station where they will tell you the right things to think and the right way to view certain information is nonsense

Besides why on Earth do we Farm out that task to journalists anyways? What makes a journalist especially qualified to understand economic data International affairs education or any other issue any better than you?

If it is in fact true that somebody whose primary qualification was a reasonably camera friendly face and decent public speaking is substantially better than you and understanding the issues then like I said. Go play Bingo. You're never going to have a thought of your own

Places like this actually are a great source. If you're on this site you will inevitably bump into all of the things currently being discussed. Yes you will notice that most people have a certain point of view but enough have the other point of view that you're going to see links from those ideas too or at the very least hear what those ideas are. And just like I said in my earlier post. At that point it's on you to follow the bunny trail and go see what you really think about the issue.

I really like “Rising” on The Hill’s YouTube channel. Robby Sloave is a great and fair journalist. Sometimes they have silly, over the top, liberal co-anchors. But mostly it’s a Scottish guy, Nile Standish, who I agree with on some things. It has a cordial, reasonable take on list issues and generally isn’t very partisan.

Glenn Greenwald is great too.

Citizen Free Press

The Christian Science Monitor is pretty unbiased.

MSM is fed off of AP/Reuters and it is all trash.

Even the NY Post has a narrative. They lean uniparty right.

Investigative reporting is dead. Ask the lady Catherine Herridge, she remains fired.
