We read/listen to NPR a lot. I also like to look at the Google news aggregator. I like to read different perspectives of the same story to see the spin/tilt that different biases present.

On TV, we usually flip between CNN and Fox just to get the two extremes and see how each side is painting the issues. We both have a moderate stance, but understanding how some of the less moderate views depict the same situations often gives you not only an understanding of where things lie, but also how to talk to those who feel more extreme.

Al Jazera English.

They hit it right down the middle. Which irritates a lot of lefties here, and because it’s AJ, the righties don’t watch it either.

But they’re the best.

NPR, The Daily Show, NBC Nightly News or ABC World News, and Fox News Sunday. Sometimes I'll watch Seth Meyers Closer Look segments on YouTube.

Chuck Todd is pretty awful.

MSNBC only for rapidly developing news, like the Insurrection or Presidential race results. Otherwise, NPR.

I watch either ABC or CBS evening news because my MIL insists on watching it. I don’t watch any other news. Cable news is way too annoying.

I read news, from a variety of sources and listen to NPR.

None.

I'll check bland sites like yahoo news or apple news for general things, if something catches my eye I'll google for more info from a variety of sources. I go to the newspapers of certain countries whose politics I follow. I'll do quick glances at Twitter. I'll listen to WAMU on the radio for a few minutes while driving.

I cannot sit through anything from FOX, CNN, BBC. No longer read WaPo or NYT. I used to be a die hard NPR fan, but can't even hack that station for more than 10 minutes anymore. I will watch C-SPAN now, it's the only way to hear things first hand without the media turning things into a circus show.

There is so much vitriol and hate from both sides and so much biased reporting on both sides. I miss good journalism. I miss fact checking. I miss showing two sides to a story and allowing the reader/listener to form their own thoughts. I miss moderate thought altogether, while that may make for more 'boring' news stories over the sensational and emotionally catching ones, I would take boring in a heartbeat.

BBC. They report on American politics in facts. Just so happens that the facts are ridiculous and Trump has looked like a crazy criminal in the world's eyes.

I suppose I watch Stephen Colbert's show on YouTube when it is uploaded, but although it is topical, I don't consider it a news show.

Whether the conservative radio is actually news or not, I think it's useful to listen to it.

Why would you listen to propaganda?

Christian Science Monitor to the PP who asked about web news. I don’t watch TV news, but if I did it would be PBS News Hour.

I listen so that I know what people who believe differently than I do are getting in terms of information and incitement. This is why I was aware that things were going to be bad.

I didn't say you have to listen, too, or imply there was something wrong with you. I will now say that if you never listen to alt-right sources, you will be unaware of a lot of what is going on, and people's opinions and actions (somewhere around 30-50% of our fellow Americans) will not have context for you.

Hasan Abi.

I used to watch PBS news, but don’t have a TV anymore, so I read NYT, WaPo, and for breaking news, CNN, but I agree that CNN and sometimes WaPo have tendentious headlines and opinions. I also read WSJ, business insider.

FoxNews Sunday and Meet the Press are the only news shows I watch.

PBS

CNN used to be great. It’s as bad as Fox News or MSNBC now. Outrage and click bait sells now so although I wish they’d get back to their roots, I can’t see it happening. So for domestic non-biased, factual, non-editorialized, non-opinionated news there really is nothing and I believe there won’t be because it doesn’t make money.
For international reporting, Al Jazeera I found to be the best, but aren’t they gone now? DW’s good too. Ironically, CNN International is still very solid.
