Reliable news? Anonymous 09/30/14 (Tue) 15:44:26 No.236

So guys, first time looking through /news/

Just thought I would ask where you guys/girls get your news from ?

I don't watch tv and rarely look at the mainstream media. However recently many of my friends are posting links/videos and statements regarding things such as ISIS/ect.

Quite frankly most of it looks like one giant ball of shit. However the typical wheel of hate is spinning away and there have been several occasions where I find myself pissed off or arguing with utter jackasses about the bullshit they see on the news.

I am not to good with politics because to be honest it never interested me during my teens. However I would like to become more knowledgeable about world wide events and not just the mainline bullshit that the media/government want me to believe.

Where is the best place (websites,news pages e.g twitter) to get reliable none invented news.

tl;dr — where does /news/ get its news from ?

The Current Events portal on Wikipedia. Even BBC can't be trusted to be objective anymore, an article I read yesterday talked about how 'we are afraid', and person X is 'selfless', and shit like that. They're no longer limited to fact-based reporting, they get to make values judgements and project shit onto the rest of us.

But yeah, current events portal.

BBC is surprisingly objective to be fair. Doesn't have much of a left-wing bias (like Huffington Post or Vox), nor a right-wing bias like Fox.

If you want a slightly alternative point of view the aljazeera news are a very good place for that.

Both BBC and RT have an agenda though, which still creates a slant one way or another.

I do the weekly /k/radio broadcast and I usually gather my news from Christian Science Monitor, which more often than not has very unbiased news and information.

This, and wikinews. All the news is actually news (unlike the leftwing essays the guardian churns out) but you will have to filter out the bullshit yourself, which I think is a good skill to have.

I still go to aggregators like HN and Dr. Sputnik despite their noticeable decline in quality over the years. I read Reuters for the MSM take, but their quality is uneven and the outsourced copy editing is atrocious.

>However I would like to become more knowledgeable about world wide events and not just the mainline bullshit that the media/government want me to believe.

Read stuff you disagree with, regardless of it's source. If you make the effort to read widely you can get a sense of the truthful elements of a story. The business press is supposed to be surprisingly no-nonsense about hard news stories.

honestly, I'm on /news/ because I'm so tired of literally every other new source at my disposal. I mean okay, so if we are going to have some stupid bullshit story full of stupid pig people, I'd like to be in a place where we can at least all agree they should be shot.

BBC and Al Jazeera can be very biased at times. I like RT but it is very selective about which stories it covers.

>where you guys/girls get your news from ?

Everywhere.

There is no single news source you can trust, you just have to learn to think critically.

For example: 07/12/15 (Sun) 22:48:25 No.400

BBC, CNN, Reuters are in the pocket of western governments, so they'll be critical of opponents of those governments.

RT and Al Jazeira are owned by their own governments, and will generally be critical of opponents of those governments.

NPR, MSNBC and HuffPost are all liberal shills, and can't be trusted around their agenda.

News sites that center around economy and finances are usually the best and most impartial, because being wrong in their line of work has real world consequences. Forbes is amazing.

They would also not report about internal controversy, say, about the BBC.

You take your news from many outlets and try to pick the overlapping facts out of the rubbish. Watch out for coordinated narratives. Anything objective or without a scholarly source should be taken with a grain.
