    Along with CBS, CNN should no longer be a preferred source.

    It’s easy to pick ABC, NBC, MS NOW, Reuters, the Associated Press, or a local outlet instead.

      I dumped cable a long time ago. I only use broadcast TV for watching my NFL team and checking the local news.

        Dumping CBS (and now CNN) also means not linking to their articles, something that some users don’t seem to view as being problematic.

        Unless a line is drawn in the sand as to which news sources are objective and which are not, partisan influences—such as the leadership of Skydance—will inevitably introduce bias. Media companies seeking to maximize their profits means that this bias typically favors right-wing interests.

          Well, CCN and CBS are both pro zionist, so they aren’t exactly without bias. And of course with Bari Weiss in charge of CBS, they are definitely pro Trump now.

          I pay for Pro Publica and the Times and watch independent media on Youtube for daily political analysis.

      I knew CNN couldn’t be trusted, too much of a liberal bias. That’s why I only go with trusted news sources like Fox. /s

      I’ll also throw out PBS News and NPR News as being at least as good as MS NOW. Also shoutout to independents like 404 Media and Bellingcat. I am sure there are others I missed as well.

        With the BBC, bear in mind that the party in power always has their thumb on the scale. They’re not Pravda, but they’re not wholly unbiased, to say the least.

          They did specify US news, which I think the BBC is generally less biased than any US news source on

        While international outlets are also worthwhile, they are ultimately less likely to cover U.S. stories with less international significance.
