Fox is literally unwatchable from 1pm-6pm. That bs with Bernie Sanders was ridiculous. Newsmax and OAN. shite if I want truly unbiased news i'll watch Sky News on Amazon.

OAN is more "news" and less opinion

OAN is just a further right version of Fox. Although not surprising this board creams itself over it

OAN has a couple of opinion shows in the evening that are to the right.
Their actual news broadcasts, which is the majority of their programming, is just news reporting with no opinions offered by the anchors or reporters. After watching the other channels for so many years have ever growing bias in the actual news reporting, it actually takes some getting used to. It kind of comes off as boring when neither sides view is being promoted. But then it becomes a breath of fresh air to have only pertinent facts of a story told rather than being opined upon by blowhards.

OANN (add an N for network, One America News Network) is my favorite. More traditional actual news format. They have Tipping Point and another nightly talk show that actually decent content for low budget productions.
Another to watch for: Newsmax TV which now has Bill O'Reilly back on the tube. 1220 on Uverse, they run a radio commercial on some talk radio stations with the other providers channel numbers. I found it that way while surfing net w/online radio playing.
ETA:
Cable/Satellite/Broadcast Stations
? DirecTV Ch. 349
? Dish Network Ch. 216
? Comcast/Xfinity Ch. 1115
(or press microphone button on X1 remote and say: "Go to Newsmax")
? Spectrum (TWC/Charter/BHH — See Channels by state below)
? WOW! TV (See Channels by state below)
? Altice Ch. 102 (Consult your local listings for Suddenlink channel location)
? AT&T U-verse Ch. 1220
? Verizon FiOS Ch. 615 HD (or 115 SD)
? TDS TV Ch. 1209 HD (or 209 SD)

Just now a Fox talking head described the audience at the Fox/Bernie townhall as being composed of "diverse political opinions" and showed the part where people whooped it up when asked for a show of hands of people who would trade their insurance for Bernie's Medicare for all plan.

Firetv has an app for it. 4.99 a month.
The talking heads come on at 7. I just don't watch then.
The rest of the time it's just news. In 30-45 minutes you get all the major headlines for the most part and you go on about your day

OAN, Newsmax, RT are all good, but their production quality is amateurish at best.
Posted on 4/21/19 at 5:49 pm to Jjdoc
My provider does not "yet" offer OAN channel. 
It's become my go-to website for objectively conservative news though.

I like OAN.

It’s good to get differing view points so you’re not in an echo chamber. If all you read is this board and watch the old Fox News you’ll have a one sided viewpoint. It’s good to watch OAN, CNN, etc and make an informed opinion on everything. It’s not a terrible thing to listen to viewpoints you disagree with IMO.

And exactly what would you describe the three letter networks as?
Posted on 4/21/19 at 9:21 pm to bamarep
Left wing news. I mean any major media outlet is going to be shite at best.

Pretty much this, I'll very rarely watch Fox or CNN. Mostly I listen or watch sites or people who are independent of corporate sponsors so I know they're genuine.
One of the great things about YouTube and podcats are you don't have people spouting out bullshite because it's what their boss wants

Fox News is starting to go off the deep end. Don’t like where they’re headed at all.
They’ve been the only major conservative bastion for so long, now they’re starting to let in some of the crap that the other stations do.
When they hired Donna Brazille, I couldn’t believe what I was reading. How can you hire someone that every anchor on your station has attacked (rightfully so) and has documented evidence of her collusion with the Clinton campaign?
