What news sources do you trust?

I trust BBC, Newsnight, Guardian, also recently taken to ITV news as they are not as stuffy as BBC.

For me the turning point with the BBC was the way they handled the Jimmy Saville case - so much covering up and deflecting over a long, long period. I know a few actors from the same era who told me that the knowledge of what Saville was doing was widespread but he was making them too much positive coverage for them to want it to stop.

This sentiment seems common when you dig deeper into the stories yet the new outlet was heavily controlled on the subject until it was too far out of their control and they had to admit defeat.

Not nearly enough people were prosecuted as a result of the finding about this in my opinion.

You also see lots of lesser bias in other areas such as the Middle East, politics and the police - I can read between the lines with most of this but it has left me with little trust in the BBC for properly impartial reporting.

The Guardian has left wing bias - the way they cover political issues will show this. At the moment the Conservative party is a shambles so there is little need to flog them - they do it themselves. With the other right wing parties it is a little harder to tell because of the extremist elements in these parties. It can be like shooting fish in a barrel.

All the media has bias from what I have seen depending on who owns them, their customer base and their corporate affiliations. 

I think the Associated Press may be one of the better ones but they are still slightly left leaning. This may be more due to the slightly liberal nature of journalists in general however.
