OT: Favorite news sites

[aTotal360]

What are you favorite news sites? Not just politics, but tech, science and sports.

(I feel like I'm pulling a pin on a grenade. Hopefully it will stay civil enough to get some good info.)

 

[Maroon Eagle]

NPR, BBC, WSJ, NYT, & SPS

 

[Rogershep]

Breitbart, Drudge Report, The Daily Caller

[Bulldogg31]

HuffPo all day baby. ***

 

[preacher_dawg]

The blaze, rightscoop, wnd, and six-pack speak (probably first sight I visit)

 

[bully12]

Fox news and ONLY Fox news . . . . .

. . . . . liberal pieces of kotex such as the alphabet networks and that abortion called the HuffPo are not to be trusted or believed - ever!!!

 

[PBRME]

Can anyone recommend a news app that stays neutral? Or mostly neutral. I just want to see what's going on not read the writers political agenda. Had to delete all I had over the last month. I can't take the Trump said this Hillary said that ******** any longer.

 

[KurtRambis4]

MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, Young Turks are all pretty balanced ****

What you ask for does not exist. Closest you might get in international news is SkyNews. The BBC is ok as well, but they definitely lean left; just don't seem to be as smug about it as domestics. Domestically you are stuck with either extreme left or extreme right. Pick your poison and run with it.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

AP

 

[DancingRabbit]

We all get too much 17ing news. I'm trying to scale back.

Knowing every crime, accident or atrocity that happens in the world is wearing me out.

 

[Bulldog from Birth]

Drudge

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Right now... no one. I breeze through the usual sites but not too deep. I avoid all televised news even my local Austanickstan stations. Too much ******** everywhere.

 

[InTheIttaBenaHotSun]

Just came across Young Turks today....watched a video of them from the election night. Hilarious to say the least.

Probably Daily Mail

 

[Shamoan]

Although a modest left lean, the BBC has journalistic integrity. They had Obama puff pieces from time to time, but imo, they shoot left only a little.

msnbc -----cnn ------bbc--0 --------fox

i do struggle to comprehend how someone raised in fairly similar circumstances could see things so radically different than myself. That clown show is a prime example. I really struggle to see the alternative point of view mainly because I think they are insane. No doubt they see me the same way which is crazy to think about. Hard to imagine a more polar populous. Sad that we have become so divided.

There are people who naturally see optimism and people who naturally see pessimism.
There are people who are naturally trustingl and people who are naturally skeptical.
There are people who naturally see the good in people and people who naturally see the bad in people.

I agree that its sad to see we are so divided, but its easy for me to see why. My own kids- 1 is an eternal optimist even in the face of adversity and 1 is thinks the life is helpless when there is a minor setback. They share a bedroom, are 4 years apart, and are each other's best friends...but even they are opposite in outlook on life. Its easy for me to translate that to the general population from a political perspective.

One person can see someone injured at work and unable to find gainful employment with the newly accommodating work restrictions, and view that person as a parasite on society who is trying to live high off the hog without being willing to work and using the injury as an excuse since McDonald's is always hiring.
Another person can see that same injured worker and go scorched earth with the ranting over how terrible the company is for fighting against injury payments and how awful the government is for making the injured worker jump thru hoops to get qualified.


Same set of facts, two totally different views. People are just naturally trusting or skeptical, etc etc etc.

+1.
I disconnected over a year ago from ever visiting news sites unprompted. I dont watch traditional news at 5, 6, and 10 either.

...I am just as informed and up to date on social and political issues, both domestically and internationally, as I was before. I am also still more informed than most all my coworkers, but that sure hasnt stopped them from forming opinions which are often based on inaccurate information even I know is wrong...even though I dont stay up on news.

The tweet below accurately sums up news right now-

Sesh, I'm pretty middle of the road, If I'm looking into a news story I try to read a couple different sites to get multiple point of views, now with that said - my favorite site used to be Deadspin, but it has almost gotten to the point I can't read it any longer. The amount of hatred they have on the main page now is a perfect example of what's wrong with this country - on both sides. I mainly jump right to Gizmodo or iO9 now days though.

[gptdawg]

What? No Facebook?

 

[Shamoan]

good idea on the graphic, but poor execution with some of those "great source news".


if a major broadcast company could could stay neutral, they would do well in the US. they just cant help themselves one way or another.
