Serious question - 10/27/20 11:38 PM
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.

None of it you can trust 100% unbiased. Google "news bias chart" will tell you who is slanted left or right, and in the middle. But the ones trying to stay "unbiased", they are more focused on being politically correct, so can't listen to them either. JMO, listen to them all, and form your own opinion.

Had that same question a couple of months ago...I'm still looking.
Haven't found one. I got so tired of the Lies and NFL and Hollywood I Cut The Cord To All Of It.

What do you mean "cut the cord"? Pretty much everything is running over the internet these days, and you obviously have not cut that cord.

Interesting news site. Note the sources tagged center for your answer.
https://www.allsides.com/unbiased-balanced-newsI would seriously read Al Jeezera over CNN or MSNBC and a few others. Used to follow BBC but they seem to have developed a case of TDS.
Epoch Times is worth checking in on too.

all mojor media owned by 6 corporations that are anti American. Fox news is about 25-50% truth.
On a side note the media black out I was talking about a few months back has started. All of "alternative" channels that are not mainstream have been deleted off the net in the last two weeks. If its not put out by the 6 corporations is being taken down, hidden, scrubbed.They all started dropping a day before the smoking crack and sex tapes were released. Will only get worse for a good while.

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.

Like a coworker who said he didn’t watch the debate but caught the highlights on CNN. he don’t have a clue what happened in the debate. Fox is not much better they just lean my way. I’ve learned to try to go to the source, watch in it’s entirety, whatever it is. Not the opinions news outlets form of what happened in the world. I say it’s a tough road to find news. I listen to news, if something interest me I research it to try to get the facts.

they give you the whole story along with supporting documentation.
p.s. While I like OAN they are far from unbiased. I'm also a fan of the western journal.

News is the same thing as reading a history book. It just depends who has the most money to get it distributed. If you weren't there don't believe it and if you were don't trust what your remember.
One story on OAN you won't see anywhere else.

Re: Serious question - 10/28/20 12:49 PM
I don't watch a whole lot. But, I think the key is when I do watch is to try to sift the actual information out of all the BS they spin or package it in regardless of the channel and come up with my own thoughts or feelings.
24/7 news coverage via multiple channels is a waste of resources. How much news does 1 person need? Seriously, you need the weather, markets, update on whose [censored] we may be kicking around the world then get back to livin.

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.

Re: Serious question - 10/28/20 01:15 PM
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.

Agreed wholeheartedly. Folks may like the news better on OAN, but unbiased it is not

Re: Serious question - 10/28/20 02:20 PM
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 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.

Re: Serious question - 10/28/20 02:47 PM
Al Jazeera News probably has more of an unbiased approach than any of the MSM we are offered at this point.
Reuters for unbiased.

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]

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

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
