re: Where do you go for trustworthy non-slanted news and information these days?

RealClear Politics. They post multiple articles from different sources and if you’re willing to read through them you can generally sort out what’s really going on

Reuters. I get emails each morning with from Reuters with world news and another with Financial markets/ news. Most balanced and straightforward I have found.

I share your thirst for non-slanted news.

I have decided that FOX, CNN, and the other Big 3 are 1) motivated to stir hatred among their chosen side and 2) motivated to bend the knee to their largest contributors, their advertisers, and 3)bend their knee to the ownership and whoever their loyalties lie with.

I still go to FOX for "breaking news", but knowing that it's still built to piss me off at "the Left".

Otherwise, M-F, I listen to a podcast called Breaking Points. It has 4 hosts, 2 leaning Left and 2 leaning Right. Most of their stories consist of a conversation between two of the host. In general, they're all skeptical of all politicians on Either side. I like it enough that I have paid the subscription to get the full show with no commercial breaks, and a few extra hours of content per week. This show is not like FOX. The L and R are criticized heavily.

Another really good podcast is Part of the Problem with Dave Smith. He's a "libertarian" but I think does a really good job of analyzing the L and the R. He usually has 2-3 shows per week.

Both of these shows have guests on often that share the passion of straight news (and perhaps anti-establishment). These guests may also be sources of news that you may find something that better suits you.

Other news sources are mentioned often on these two shows.

Best of luck, and would enjoy hearing anyone's feedback.

What a fricking joke. Media Matters and MSNBC being less biased than Ben Shapiro, Timcast, and Full Send?! L O fricking L. There’s nothing to the Left and more partisan than Media Matters and MSNBC is effectively a lunatic asylum at this point. Alex Jones has been way more correct in the past five years than they have.

The fact that CNN, MSN are in the Middle to skews left section (and to be fair Fox News web being skews right) let me know how reliable this chart is.
