Are there any credible news websites that aren’t biased?

[TimHauck 2,873]

Serious question.

I know there are some individual reporters that are, and I’ve also found the Breaking Points podcast to IMO be the best source for balanced coverage, but I don’t think they do anything in writing (except for Ryan Grim’s side project which is lefty).

Typically, I try to find the primary sources discussed by the media site talking about a story, since the MSM will often add interpretations that contradict the actual sources (people like @RLLD and @Strike have fallen for this for example), but that’s not always easy to do.  

Overall what I’ve found is that the left-leaning sites will usually at least report on most stories, but will put their leftist spin on it.  On the other hand, I’ve found that Fox News and NY Post will often (not always of course) just flat out ignore many stories that might make Republicans look bad, such as a lot of the instances of people being detained by ICE/refused re-entry to the US for questionable reasons, Not great, especially when many on the right will only look at their preferred sources and flat out dismiss anything coming from a lefty site without reading it.   Of course there are more lefty sites in total, so there are likely some of them that will do similar, but maybe you’ll just have to find it on a different site.

So yeah, as a centrist I would love recommendations for sources of unbiased news.

Go!

From my research PBS is the most balanced.  I think AP and Reuters are also pretty fair.

There are sites that rate the bias, this one is my favorite: Static Media Bias Chart | Ad Fontes Media https://share.google/eHq3lwOUoMXdIQ4to

The important thing to remember is that bias exists in all of us, conscious or unconscious.  This is why it's important to get different sources, different opinions and fact check everything.

Breitbart, PJ Media, and Gateway Pundit.  The stories of today become the “news” of tomorrow.  

[RLLD 4,230]

Most of the folks here, notable and especially @TimHauck lack the self-perception to understand when they are being lied to or not; which is why they constantly fall for political lies, only to later be exposed for how easily they are manipulated as those lies are eventually exposed.

Only through careful consumption of a variety of sources, with a sensitive BS meter, can one even begin to make accurate calls....as i have....for years...

[Voltaire 5,316]

Generally, left or right, the facts are real and not made up wholecloth. From what I've seen of the guy with the worst reputation, the first three steps down any Alex Jones rabbithole are all based on reliable facts.

It's how they get interpreted and presented (or ignored) that people need to be aware of. Journalists use to be expected to keep their opinions out of a news piece, but that no longer happens except with a few of the 50+ y/o ones.

Hilarious from the guy who fell for a line added by the author of a BBC article, which didn’t even say what he claimed.

The irony is off the charts

What, look he is assailing a source again.   We can just stand by now and wait for a source to affirm what he believes, since those are the only valid ones.  We know your game punk, it wont work anymore.

Before commenting, I’d suggest you read the conversation in the Abrego Garcia thread where @RLLD incorrectly interpreted a statement from the author of a BBC article, then incorrectly attributed said statement to be from Abrego Garcia’s attorneys. Lol. Talk about metal helmet dumb…

That’s not even a good chart. It includes Forbes and the hill who both have dei programs and have published articles promoting dei as centrist 

[MDC 7,425]

This is the GC. Any source that doesn’t confirm your bias is “biased.” The MSM is Fake Newz but some rando’s post on X is the gospel truth. 

You’ll figure it out eventually.

When compared to the alternatives, I’ll acknowledge that Tim Pool is probably one of the closer ones to the middle.  Not “DC Draino” though 

[thegeneral 3,214]

Most of the mainstream news is decent, you just have to take it with a grain of salt and consider if it is the outlet’s commentary/opinion stuff. Then read a bit of the counterpoints on the subject.

Also sometimes things are just going to be wrong as the story plays out over time.

Yep. MAGAs can't accept this because they think Breitbart, Fox and Newsmax are unbiased and facts-based, which they most certainly are not. Sadly, AP and Reuters are shells of their former selves thanks to newspapers' slow death.

My suggestion is to use whatever sites you are comfortable with and incorporate critical thinking into your analysis of the articles.  Preferably use multiple sites.  And don't listen to 8-year-olds in chat rooms which you have a habit of doing.
