The public has grown wary of media due to unbalanced reporting and known biases. What sources do you trust?

COL Lee Flemming Sir, I do not trust the media because there is a noticeable bias. The media is also quick to report on stories without gathering and verifying the facts. It is important to be the first to report a story, even though the information being reported is wrong. It seems to me that the media is more biased today than in years past.

I personally am a news junkie.... So I like to read the left, right, center, foreign - everyone's take on an event. It's actually comical watching biased opinions from both sides. Some viewers might pick one side or one party at face value in 'blind loyalty.' ...but I'd at times consider that ignorance.

It can actually be more disheartening to see what is NOT covered based on media-bias though.

I would agree, check every angle, don't rely on any one source, gather the facts from any available media outlets, computer, radio, TV, magazine, newspapers etc.then make a determination which ones if any are accurate.

COL Lee Flemming Great question Sir. I don't think I trust any MSM. They seem to just want ratings and to push whatever point of view they want pushed.
