For me these days, it's Twitter.
Almost all large media providers now editorialize instead of report news, so I'm done with them. Postmedia is my number one source. I also use Epoch Times, Blaze, Daily Caller, Rebel News and Twitter.
I get mine from various sources.
Very little is from any broadcast legacy media (CNN, FOX, MSNBC, etc.) although at one time I had all the "news" channels programmed into my Favorites so I could easily skim up and down the channel list to see what they were all talking about. Then they blacklisted RT America and dumped Newsmax; after that I rarely bothered any more.
Now I dip my toe into social media (Twitter and Facebook), watch a few independent YouTube clips (Jimmy Dore, Revolutionary Blackout Network, Glenn Greenwald, Sabby Sabs, The Grayzone, Bad Faith, etc.), and look up the source materials for things I've seen mentioned that look interesting (like Seymour Hersh's recent Substack article) so I can get as much context as possible.
The important thing is to never place blind faith in any source.
People get things wrong sometimes. People change.
People can be compromised or let their masks slip and reveal they were bullshitting all along.
Be passionate about issues, not the people talking about the issues.
Treat information like a buffet... try a bit of everything; don't just fill your plate from one dish.

Well said! :thumbup:
I dont trust ANY of the mainstream fucks.
My fave is Gab, followed by Stormfront and Bitchute.
I do the same, take every bit of info with a grain of salt, and digest it from there.
Like Garraty I use a rather wide variety of news sources as I do not believe any one agency is 100% truthful at all times
Easier question for me would be - what news agencies do you avoid like the plague
that would be CNN, MSNBC, NPR and any agency focusing a good 60% or better of their production on the Jan 6th witchhunt or Muller fiascos

Smartass :laugh:
I do not watch, read or listen to any North American news. It's more biased than any editorial in the People's Daily. Singapore Straits Times and South China Morning Post are my primary news sources.
I check a variety. For opinions I like Jericho Greene, Turning Point USA, Mark Levin, Prager U, and Turning Point USA. I also read The Blaze, New York Post, Fox- Harris Faulkner, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, and Laura Ingraham. Rebel is the only Canadian news I will read.
I get my news from multiple sources.. And I take it all with a grain of salt.
I never blindly believe or follow anything.

In Canada, you need a salt mine.
I generally see things on social media. I'll look further online if the story is big enough. Canadian news sources suck...they report squat, I dunno why they do this? I check out other countries sources for Canadian stories as they give more info.
My dad watches a European news channel.. when I go over to visit, I watch sometimes and they give a full out report of whatever er story is happening in Canada... I think to myself....why can't Canada tell us Canadians this? Why do I need to hear about it in depth from another country? They even have pictures and videos that Canada doesn't offer.
It makes me wonder about the Canadian government and how stupid they are and if they think controlling the media coverage will stop people from looking further? I don't get this?

:oeudC:
Nothing is newsworthy now. I file it all under c for 'crap I'll just waste time being angry about'.
Anything except CNN, ABC, MSBNC, NPR, Drudge, BBC, all Australian outlets except for Rebel News Australia or Sky News Australia (occasionally).
I've been quite partial to Breitbart in years past but they've become partisan ostriches with their heads up their sandy arseholes. Same with Tim Pool... he panders for his fence sitting empire.
I used to read the front page of Hal Turner and occasionally tune into his terrestrial broadcasts, but fuck me running that guy is annoying as fuck... with his woe is me and personal tragedy issues.
Twitter as of late is the best place to find news and new dimensions of news.
There are nuggets of newsy newsy goodness everywhere (even Rense and Jones) except in the MSM, bar perhaps Tucker Carlson's show... his points generally resonate to the mentally sane and drive all others even more bat shit crazy.
To be fair to the non Liberty minded sources.... Jimmy Dore and Bill Maher are starting to go the way of Dave Rubin on some issues, and that's promising.
Lotus Eaters, Crowder (when he's on) Jimmy Dore, Tarl Warwick, Salty Cracker, Dave Cullen, Hard Bastard, Paul Joseph Watson, Alex Jones (who has been right a lot more than he's been wrong), Bearing and various aggregators that introduce me to further jumping off points.
I probably take in 8 or 9 hours worth of news and commentary daily, mostly while I'm doing other shit. Legacy and mollusc media I tend to avoid for the most part and that includes places like Faux News which is pretty much controlled opposition, though on occasion someone like Sean Hannity gets it right.

I am liking Sky News better all the time.
I tell ya, I use to get the best news from comment sections of the mainstream sites lol. No wonder they disabled comments on all of them.

Aint this shit getting goofy.
Aliens are going to invade because we're going too far with AI. They see now as the best time to enslave us before we start building terminators.

Nobody trusts the governments they didn't dutifully elect.
There is no way that the people in charge are legit these days.
People in charge in the last 50 years were fucked up but not AS fucked up as now.
There is no representative democracy, republics, rule of law, anything.
Just digital voting booths and paid for media pushing the results.

Gawd, the shit would well and truly hit the fan if that lot ever got released. 4chan needs to get on that shit like yesterday.
If there was any doubt that the Twitter Files have struck a nerve and deep fear in the Powers That Be, Thursday's disgraceful behavior by Democrats in a hearing featuring journalists Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger eviscerated it.
Taibbi and Shellenberger had not even uttered a word yet when the Ranking Member of the House Judiciary subcommittee Del. Stacey Plaskett, D-U.S. Virgin Islands, referred to the witnesses as "so-called journalists" in her opening statement. The pair glanced at each other, clearly surprised and confused by the utterly unprovoked attack.
From there it only got worse, Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-TX, asked the pair of scribes if they were being paid to testify, again to an absolutely shocked response from them. She went on to try to force Taibbi to reveal information about his sources, a journalistic Rubicon he rightfully refused to cross.
Other Democrats accused them of wearing tin foil hats, and intimated in ugly language with clear disdain that they were only in it for the money, not to discover the truth about our federal government pressuring Twitter to censor Americans' speech which was the reason for the hearing.
The chilling message, and one meant for all journalists, was crystal clear: if you report uncomfortable facts that Democrats don't like, they will attack you and try to discredit you and your work.
The irony of course is that it was just this kind of pressure and censorship of the media from the federal government that the committee was investigating with this hearing in the first place.
Just as the FBI and other federal agencies sought to shame and shut down the speech of journalists and scientists by directing Twitter and others to label reasonable dissent as disinformation, these Democrats, unable to make real arguments, maligned the messengers instead.
This is a wake-up moment in which Democrats made plain that they view censorship of journalism as not only a good thing, but necessary to protect us all from foreign election interference, or racism, or climate-change denial. First Amendment be damned, free speech thrown under the bus to "protect" us from these alleged emergencies.
Twitter became a dangerous source of misninformation the minute they stopped acting as one of the many propaganda arms of the Dems.
