Where does everyone get their news ? Curious as there is such strong opinions here and everyone thinks they're right . I personally don't follow any news source. I go with the flow and I live a pretty good life . Have at it .
But I can see it turning into a pissing match as everyone berates the other's info sources.
I'll just say,
zero in the way of the DC/New York based cable television news channels.
The Shop
People want to be affirmed in their thoughts, social media is the driver in the change in all media.
It is all about "likes" and "followers" rather than any rational version of the actual "2 sides to every story" truth.
Fox covered for Trump for the most part (and slams Biden), everyone else covers for Biden almost like it is a scripted memo sent out daily (and still slams Trump daily even though he is not president anymore).
I read news on the internet from many different sources. I don’t read editorials. I read news. I want just facts. Not opinions. I can form my own opinion.
the USA is a nightmare with most main stream stuff being one side or another, (which is the same as it is here in NZ)
News24 is South African news and they do cover international stuff.
Read the damn news if you want to ruin a perfectly good day. I try stay away as much as I can.
There is no proper news any more, because all the media outlets that we get to see are owned by the same people.
6 Companies own 95% of what you get to see in the MSM,and they are all funded by the same people.
There are some great content providers out there , as has been mentioned, TimCast is decent, and a lot of the guys who have fallen out of favour, like Bill O'Reilly , Glen Beck etc, plus a few others.
Its easy to know who is over the target, by who is going out of their mind trying to get people banned or cancelled .
Its funny when things make their way to MSM, as 'breaking news' that has been common knowledge for years.
When the national cable news networks grab a hold of a local/regional story/incident that you happen to know a great deal about, and they don't know shit about it because it's outside of their concrete jungle, and they completely twist it into something more, or less, than it truly is.
Or completely misrepresent the entire story by interjecting subtle opinions.
Viewers then "form an opinion" based on incorrect information.
Makes you view any, and everything, they report on with a very jaundice eye.
It's nothing more than weather fearmongering, ball sports, and traffic reports, for their marketing dept to sell air time to, car dealerships, insurance companies and ambulance chasing attorneys.
"This report brought to you by........"
So you have to apply that to everything else too.
And when they are trying so hard to tell you, you know what is going on.
When people talk about their preferred news sources, they aren’t really even talking about news. They are talking about opinion and commentary sources that match their preconceived notions, like Bill O'Reilly and Glen Beck…..
What you doing for facts now Cuomo and Stelter are gone?
I’m gonna fill my last twenty years living my best life and not worrying about things out of my control.
I get zero political news from the TV in any form.
I used to listen to radio politics while in my truck but the station I listened to got rid of anybody that wasn't a total Trump brown nose. When they replaced Michael Medved with Sebastian Gorka I quit listening to radio politics.
95% of my political news consumption is for entertainment now. The other 5% is stuff that I might need to know about.
Politics claims maybe 5 to 10 minutes a day of my time depending on events.
Pit Row
If your choice of outlet tries to tell you more than the 4 W's...you are being led by the nose.
I don't want confirmation of my bias...I just want the facts. It will either strengthen my opinion or change it.
Honestly, I trust the BBC as traditional news reporting as much as anyone.
GB News here is worth a look , there are some great contributors, and some shit ones, which , guess what, gives it some balance.
Its all about the money. Always,
I like Al Jazeera too.
For TV PBS Newshour is amazing, an hour of nightly news that takes the time to go into detail and brings in experts.
I got stupid and started broadcasting on the thing. Some guys rolled up and disabled the transmitter. My grandpa was not pleased.
The lesson is that he doesn’t understand the concept of news, but he’s very committed to supporting whatever opinions he agrees with.
So you watch a show that doesnt cover any stories that they dont want to think about, whereas i watch feeds that tell us what is occurring..
Thats pretty basic stuff.
And you didnt answer my Cuomo and Stelter question.
There are lots of sources, but i guarantee , none of the ones you watch are doing anything other than peddle the Democrat propaganda they are told to push. But you call that 'truth'.
The BBC is no longer trusted in the UK, its woke coverage and left leaning puff peices are the same shit that is destroying your country , that you are all flag waving for.
Luckily they are being called out on it , and as a broadcaster that is funded by a tax on everyone, they are honour bound to be impartial, and they arent, which is why there is an increasing movement to defund them, because folk know they are being lied to.
Thanks to the internet, news media is dying on its arse, as it gets called out for what it is.
