1. Not on DU!

I still like Huffington Post and the News Hour on PBS. BBC is also pretty good.

[IADEMO2004]

Huffington is on a roll this week I must say.

[AgerolanAmerican]

7. nowhere

pretty much everyone who puts anything in print has an angle they're trying to sell

don't trust anything unless you can personally verify it - everything else is "pending verification"

[Socal31]

8. The world wide web.

[IADEMO2004]

You know, like Judith Miller and the Times.

28. Tee hee!

[pangaia]

13. My brain.

[OhZone]

14. Used to be here -

Not any more.

Also used to like TYT when they were more fact based.

So I just bounce around between the Hillary groups, a couple of FB groups, and taking some mainstream media with a grain of salt.

No, wait -

STEPHANIE MILLER!!! She's great! <3

And Bob and Chez.

And Semantha Bee! haha

[IADEMO2004]

19. TYT was one of my favorites. Still listen to Stephanie Miller a few times a week.

[kansasblue]

18. I just learned about ICIJ today.....

The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists is a global network of more than 190 investigative journalists in more than 65 countries who collaborate on in-depth investigative stories.

and I like McClatchy news mcclatchycd.com

[IADEMO2004]

20. Added to my favorites. Thank You.

35. "Like" that, too!

[petronius]

21. Depends on the topic I suppose. I find a great deal of useful info on DU, across

a range of subjects. But no matter where I first find something, if it's important that I can trust it, I seek out multiple sources...

[cheapdate]

22. Most mainstream news outlets

can be generally relied on to get the facts right most of the time - the who, what, where. But when reporting slides into opining about expectations or proposing causal relationships that might or might not be valid, I keep a skeptical attitude.

I rank the BBC pretty high for credibility. Christian Science Monitor is a good source. I read many of the left-wing sources like Common Dreams and Salon, but I approach them with the same extra-critical eye I would use when reading any highly one-sided source, whether it's Russian controlled media or the Heartland Institute.

Media Matters is useful to get up to speed quickly on popular political issues.

If something interests me I'll read multiple perspectives and try to find original sources.

[IADEMO2004]

24. "Trust but verify". Saint Ron Reagan. One of the few useful things he said.

[cheapdate]

62. Ugh. "Raygun".

[mooseprime]

23. TYT is the best!! n/t

[tymorial]

25. Not here.

Damn others beat me to it.

Seriously... npr mostly

[applegrove]

27. From multiple sources, i always read a few newspapers when I read any.

The best source was the economist for international economic stories. Have not read that in a while. I will get back to it some day.

[Jennylynn]

29. The Raw Story

Which reminds me. I haven't been there in a week or so. Too busy at this place!

[Jennylynn]

29. The Raw Story

Which reminds me. I haven't been there in a week or so. Too busy at this place!

[Jennylynn]

31. Holy Poop! Glad I went to Raw Story!

Bernie Sanders supporters hold massive #OccupyCNN protest over lack of coverage

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/04/massive-protest-breaks-out-with-bernie-sanders-supporters-at-cnn-over-lack-of-coverage/

[IADEMO2004]

38. Holy poop! Member since 2001 w 140 posts and drop 3 on this thread? Honored.

Raw Story is a frequent click for me since Obama campaign member told me about it in 2007.

[Jennylynn]

41. Holy poop!

Why do people make fun of the number of posts I've made in here???
WTH difference does that possibly make? It's just odd that one would look that poop up?

[IADEMO2004]

42. No insult intended at all.

[Jennylynn]

45. Well if you MUST know :)

The reason I joined DU is that I wanted I wanted to make a reply in a thread years ago but I just didn't want to get involved in another forum/s. I was in a bunch of Yuku ones. I've since quit all of those now too. Just the same arguments over and over and over and over again.
Much like here. lol
Thanks iademo

[Ghost Dog]

54. Welcome to DU!

[Jennylynn]

58. lol

Thanks!

[Chan790]

32. Jesus speaks to me.

He's my gardener. Really cool dude. Jesus Hernandez.

He gets up at like 4am so he reads the newspaper and watches the TV news while I'm still cuddled into bed. He also has a great skill in discerning bullshit. So every morning, I get up and I say "¿que pasa, Jesus?" and he tells me what's up.

[IADEMO2004]

39. Jesus should market that shit.

[ReasonableToo]

36. Democracy Now - Pacifica Radio

Streamed online 8am weekdays

Pacifica Radio app

Democracy Now app

[Politicalboi]

37. From Hillary's campaign of course

That David Brock is the next Sean Hannity.

[Lil Missy]

40. not DU, that's for sure!

Rachel Maddow is actually pretty accurate and thorough. But I know Bernie supporters don't like to hear that.

[IADEMO2004]

43. Rachel Maddow was a hero here until the campaigns started.

[dembotoz]

52. used to trust msnbc

but my cable plan changed and i have not missed it...
however if ko came back.....

[burrowowl]

44. ICIJ (International Consortium of Investigative Journalists)

Common Dreams, Buzz Flash

[riderinthestorm]

46. BBC, The Diane Reem Show, Bill Moyers, The Guardian nt

[dembotoz]

53. yah bbc and the guardian....domestic media not so much...sad isn't it

[Jennylynn]

47. You guys are really bringing back some blasts from my past

with all these old rags I used to haunt.
Buzzfeed. Common Dreams. McClatchy. America blog. TPM, etc.
Good times. Not.

[braddy]

48. “I’m speaking with myself, number one, because

I have a very good brain and I’ve said a lot of things."

[Algernon Moncrieff]

49. ESPN

They have an excellent standard of journalism and some fine writers.

Serious answer: At this point, ABC and CBS in terms of the MSM. If it's an issue of major importance, I'll probably look at the BBC. Local TV stations and the local paper for local stuff.

WaPo still has good writers, but has gone downhill since Bezos bought it; I've never been wild about the NYT.

[AngryOldDem]

50. Nowhere. n/t

[liberal N proud]

51. No single source

Always corroborate stories with multiple sources. Sometimes 2, maybe 4 or 5 before I trust the story.

And none of those sources include FOX. and I rarely watch talking heads on the stupid tube.

[SDjack]

55. White House briefings are really good. The govt would never lie to us. /nt

[yortsed snacilbuper]

56. My next door neighbor!

[Dorian Gray]

57. Two places:

NY1 for local news and BBC for international news.

They're the two unbiased straight news organizations I read or watch daily.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

60. The Guardian UK...

Democracy Now!, plus writers like Matt Taibbi, Jeremy Scahill, Robert Parry, Seymour Hersch, Glen Greenwald, and Greg Palast for perspective.
