Who feels confidence and trust in the news we see or read these days? What news source do you trust (and why)?

MSG Mark Million: I trust KTVU channel 2 news out of Oakland, California. They seem to be on top of what's happening in the world. -Margaret

Well I trust all news outlets to a certain extent I mean we talk about biased news well I habe news for everybody it's tale as old as time you read old news articles back in the days of our nation's founding they were even worse then today they unapologetically were over glorified slander pieces that's why you have multiple news outlets today with slightly different views on the facts and you watch them all and piece together the information and then you have clearer understanding of the truth. So the media's biased we all have our biases the while point is can we overcome our own insecurities and look at other perspectives then we can all say we are trying to understand the truth.

I try to keep an open mind, but not so open my brain falls out

Honestly, I trust Facebook for my news. Not because it's a bastion of honesty, but I can see my liberal friends and my conservative friends post the same story with their respective slants and it allows me to sift through and see the actual story itself.

I have more trust that I can piece together a more balanced picture now that news is democratized.

I have less trust in any single news organization.

I don't trust a damn thing MSG, I watch multiple networks, check online sources, listen to radio news, and still read the newspaper. I do this so I can look through the biased crap and hopefully get a better picture.
