I am a social moderate, fiscal conservative who voted for Trump. I have also been a loyal CNN reader/watcher for nearly 20 years. Although in the past it had always leaned left of center, it at least wasn't clearly partisan in the mold of Fox or MSNBC. Before I read any of the controversy over the blackmail incident, I read the CNN article it came from and the "we reserve the right" line immediately jumped out at me and angered me. I knew right then that this would be the last straw for me with CNN. They are worse than any partisan media because they claim to be neutral while on a clear agenda of outright hatred towards Trump, and even more so, his supporters.

So what should be my main bookmarked news link? I can't stand Fox or MSNBC. I read Politico every day but I need something in addition with a broader focus on domestic and world affairs and not just politics. Maybe The Atlantic? I have read CNN every day for as long as I can remember so I honestly have no clue where to turn? I don't want a right wing site that simply tells me what I already believe.

WSJ is really the best, highly recommend ponying up. They lean right but aren't overt. Maybe a tad too much in the establishment mold for many on this site to endure.

just check in between reddit front page only (for your bad trump threads of the day) and this forums to balance out the hatred of the left


that's what I do anyways

Huffpost deserves criticism, always, no matter what.

Read Daily Mail. There is surprisingly little bias in their coverage of US news.

Fox Business
Much more sedate and level-headed than Fox.
At least check 'em out for a few minutes.

WSJ fricked up their reputation with the hit piece on PewDiePie and fricking up YouTube. I won't read their shite anymore. It's the second worst piece so far this year next to what happened today.

The production value isn't great but if you want actual news on cable tv it is the best you will find.
