The MSM won’t publish that story. I doesn’t fit their anti Trump narrative. Their job is to protect Biden and the China loving global investors.

There was a time when we got local news in the morning (6:30 AM), national news at 5:30 PM with local again at 6P and 10P. 24 hours news coverage is turning some people into rutabagas and conspiracy freaks. 99% of what the news reports doesn't even apply to us personally. People need to calm down.

I think One America News Network (OAN) is one of the best on TV. I don't subscribe to any newspapers anymore and I don't trust anything on the web. Thanks sir

Guy nailed it. Listen to them all. Search for dissenting opinions on the same subject and use that along with your values to formulate your own opinion. Anyone who gets their “news” from a single source is doing themselves a major disservice.

Reuters for unbiased.
While I too like OAN, I am very aware of their bias. Agreed wholeheartedly. Folks may like the news better on OAN, but unbiased it is not

If one wanted to watch or read the news, unbiased. You know, just to learn what’s going on and form my own opinions about who and why.
Where should I look ?
I ask this seriously, not sarcastically. Seriously, I do not believe that 100% unbiased news even exists anymore.

Unfortunately, these days, you have to aggregate your own news from several different sources of all slants and them form your own opinion. What isn’t covered is just as biased as what is covered and especially what is covered from one angle only. Refusal to cover a story (like the Biden corruption scandal) is a form of bias. But if you only watch one outlet 100% of the time, you may think they’re unbiased. Omission of coverage is just as biased as covering a story with a known bias.
In other words, what outlets don’t cover is as bad, possibly worse, than what they do cover, so you have to aggregate the news yourself.
I just turned it on . I was looking bird dogs in the butt this morning.

I usually start with Crossroads with Joshua Philipp. If I need to look further I try to find the source of the information. But a lot of the time it is somewhere in between either side.

Al Jazeera News probably has more of an unbiased approach than any of the MSM we are offered at this point.

While I too like OAN, I am very aware of their bias. No they are not......they constantly attack Trump like all the rest (Reuters).....OAN is biased toward keeping the constitution and liberty for all Americans......

I have the answer. Watch Bill O'Reilly every Mon - Thursday at 7:00 pm on "The First" channel. If you don't have this channel, you can pay $50 per year and watch his podcast whenever you want. He has a degree from Harvard and has been to over (80) countries. Has a lot of inside info. He's been in the business for 45 years and has always been a independent. He has voted both Republican and Democrat. He never says who he is voting for until this year. He thinks a Biden administration would destroy the country. He also never makes campaign donations to any party.

Use multiple sources as mentioned above and understand the source. I also agree that wire services or news agencies are a good starting point. News AgencyA news agency is an organization that gathers news reports and sells them to subscribing news organizations, such as newspapers, magazines and radio and television broadcasters. A news agency may also be referred to as a wire service, newswire, or news service.
Although there are many news agencies around the world, four global news agencies, Agence France-Presse (AFP), Associated Press (AP), Reuters and EFE have offices in most countries of the world and cover all areas of information. All four began with and continue to operate on a basic philosophy of providing a single objective news feed to all subscribers; they do not provide separate feeds for conservative or liberal newspapers. Jonathan Fenby explains the philosophy:
To achieve such wide acceptability, the agencies avoid overt partiality. Demonstrably correct information is their stock in trade. Traditionally, they report at a reduced level of responsibility, attributing their information to a spokesman, the press, or other sources. They avoid making judgments and steer clear of doubt and ambiguity. Though their founders did not use the word, objectivity is the philosophical basis for their enterprises – or failing that, widely acceptable neutrality.[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_agency

Fox news ain't what they used to be. If they were, they wouldn't hire someone like Donna Brazile who tried to cheat and give Hillary debate questions in 2016.

I struggle with wanting to stay current on events while not bogging myself down with the BS from ALL directions - some days when I log in to my home page (yahoo) the "news" stories are ridiculous - Cardi B, Kardasheans , and the like. Who sits around and reads this junk?
So I head to the deer lease and try to ignore it all
You can't fix stupid

I think some folks on here don't understand the difference between "unbiased" and "bias I agree with". Bingo. Like I said, some may like OAN better, but it is not unbiased I actually don't agree with that chart, and it is flawed throughout the spectrum on what is liberal leaning vs what is neutral vs what is conservative leaning. You mean to tell me NBC is neutral? Not likely. Similarly, you think Fox is more conservative than OAN, not even close. It does get one thing right -- Christian Science Monitor is pretty neutral
