    Or… there’s always independent sources. For instance:

    Reuters

    Associated Press

    Ground News

    If you find that the source of yours news is in constant agreement with your opinions, and you are in constant agreement with the news they provide, I hate to break it to you, but both you- and your news source are biased, and biased news doesn’t automatically default to being true just because you want it to.

    It’s not about left, centrist, or right sources. And thinking it is- is exactly why we are having the problem we currently have. It’s about finding an HONEST one.

    Find a source of notes that isn’t afraid to tell you shit you won’t always agree with.

      Yeah, anytime I find myself nodding along I try to head over to Allsides and expand my view. I’m sure someone here has something to say about Allsides, I admittedly didn’t dig too deeply into the site itself, but it is essentially an aggregator that tells you whether a site is right left or center.

      The catch is finding a goid conservative English language source is very difficult. A Financial Times sub runs $300usd a year almost for the more news and opinion focused online version (lacks the in depth business stuff that runs 7-800/yr.
