What news sources do you trust?

Iain

After the news coverage about the US action in Venezuala I realised how many news outlets that I thought were reasonably impartial are actually influenced by the "official" line rather than investigative journalism.

Does anyone have recommendations on a news source which does not have any strong political affiliation or is influenced by outside forces?

Thanks.

  • I'm another one in favour of the BBC & the Guardian for news. I sometimes read the Byline Times which is very good for investigative journalism and have a subscription to Private Eye (their podcast, "Page 94", is also very good). Bellingcat and Snopes can be good for debunking misinformation as well. Much of the UK press is quite right wing, it's always funny reading the BBC section on the papers to see how they're spinning things. I wouldn't rely on unregulated sites like AAV or The Canary, they're quite imbalanced I think. Oh, and I wouldn't touch GB News with a bargepole.
