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.

  • None, they're all biased in some way shape or form. That doesn't stop me reading them to get an idea of what the people who write them think. The trick is to read things with a critical eye and always be asking what I was taught as the 5 W's When was this written? Where was it written? Why was it written? Who wrote it? Who did they write it for? 

    The trick is to be also critical of news you agree with because it's very easy to believe something you want to be true.
