Poll: Which news sources do you trust?

[Sewblon]

All the talk about how Fox news are a bunch of liars got me curious about who you guys do trust to provide the news. I do read news articles on the internet but I don't especially trust any one source, except maybe my parents.

 

[Crayzor]

BBC are usually reliable, so I go to them for most of my news.

 

[HomelessRichGuy]

To be honest, I trust the Daily Show for most of my news.

 

[Jack_Uzi]

I do read the news on a webiste or paper sometimes. But I am a bit paranoid so I don't trust any of them realy.

The Daily Show with John Stewart! Okay, granted, it's a comedy news show. That said, Stewart does talk about real news, and the truth is that you do get a serious discussion of the issues from time to time. Also like Real Time with Bill Maher. Not a news show so much as a talk show, but you still get discussions of the issues. Other than that, I don't really like any of the news networks. I'm liberal, but even I feel that MSNBC is biased, and none of the others really appeal to me.

 

[Xyliss]

The BBC seem to me to be one of the very few reputable sources that I trust enough.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Stephen Colbert.

Okay, no. But it's the closest news related media I get to. Frankly I've more important things to do than hear how many died in a tornado, or listen to people bicker on how the President is destroying the United States/World/Universe.

Random shit I find on the intrawebs. Between this forum, Leasticoulddo.com, and any number of other random things, I find whatever I need.

I'm sorry, I have seen the daily show many times (my friend likes it, i don't) and though I'll admit he's rather unbiased, I don't think he's very good at giving us news, or indeed taking the mick out of it. I don't find him funny at all.

 

[Gigaguy64]

The only news source i trust is myself.

Ill try and watch reporting on all parts of the spectrum and look things up for myself.

 

[VulakAerr]

BBC and The Daily Show. Though to be honest I think The Daily Show is the more trustworthy of the two.

 

[Vuljatar]

BBC is the closest thing to an impartial news source these days.

 

[Betancore]

Depends on what's actually being reported, but usually I'll check with a few sources. There are none in particular that I trust.

 

[Shock and Awe]

BBC is by far the best I have seen. CNN is also pretty good as well, though they tend to stay on one topic for an eternity and go over the same information countless times.

 

[Jark212]

Reuters, The Daily Show, and the Colbert Report...

The last two being the most reliable...

 

[MissAshley]

I very rarely follow the news. No, really, I didn't know the exact details of the issue in the Gulf until a couple of weeks ago. I knew something oil-related had happened, but that's it. Only after seeing multiple sources lampoon the incident did I read up on it.

When I do decide to browse headlines, though, I just check the AP wire.

 

[JanatUrlich]

BBC, The Guardian and The Daily Show.

I like my news with a slightly left wing slant ;D

I read the BBC website for a slightly more neutral standpoint though.

 

[Marter]

My local news. Or CNN, but I don't really follow the news that much. I'll watch the local news a couple times per week, and that is good enough for me.

 

[Kagim]

None entirely.

Either on the web or on tv. Run by a conglomerate our one guy alone in their basement. All are equally capable of lying for the same reasons. Even a stand alone site with no ads has the temptation to lie for no other reason then attention or to screw with people.

If a piece of news interests me i look up multiple sources.
