I put the second to last one, but The Daily Show is a good alternative. /deadpan
I usually trust the stories they air (footage, interviews w/ victims/bystanders/etc.) What I don't trust are their speculations and predictions. Also way too much important stuff doesn't make the news. News Media Corps. are like super-competitive children with A.D.D. TV news nowadays = advertising, entertainment and a speculation source on everything "super big and new" that happens. It's no longer a service. Read the newspaper and find places besides TV to get your info and to keep tabs on stuff.

Anything I can get my hands on, and sources that are actually sites not dedicated to news, because rarely do they lie, but instead have the news broken down into "Here's the info. Here's what we think about it" instead of "Here's some of the news blended with our opinions that we pass off as news."
Eight people here voted for FOX News, and that suprises me. I mean, sure, there are people who like it, but I didn't think anybody actually trusted it.
"You are watching Fox!"
"We are watching Fox."
I watch The Daily Show if I want to catch up on US politics... which isn't all that often. Most times I just watch the local news, BBC, or Al-Jazeera.

B-but, surely it could not be produced on paper? Good sir, that is a ridiculous assertion and I humbly ask you delete your post and scold your mother most heartily for having birthed you. Now, I must return to my holo-pronz.ottenni said:
My answer: "none".
If I find something newsworthy, I ultimately only trust my own judgement. So if something particularly newsworthy comes up, I try to digest it from several different sources and come to a conclusion based on the specifics of which these distinct sources have in common with eachother, and try my best to sort out different political and subjectively philosophical angles that will ultimately try to sneak their way into the articles in question.
I guess this practice stem from my track-record of often being right in regards to pretty much anything, while others (especially people involved with the popular media) tend to be wrong pretty much on a daily basis about many things.

FOOOOOOOOOOOOX! Must watch Christian Nutjobs talk Nonsense! Nah, I'm British so I only really have BBC or Sky and Sky is so hilariously biased towards the Tories that it's impossible to watch. Plus, adverts. Bleurgh.
