What media outlets do you trust more than others?

iamstop · 11-07-2012 5:19pm #1

I'm not asking which one/s do you believe 100% but which ones do you think tell us the most truth over others who clearly lie, make stuff up and/or just present/print what they are told?
I'm asking about TV/Newspapers/Radio/Blogs/Magazines/Youtube channels and other type of media that presents itself as a form of current or historical factual information.
I was thinking of asking this in the AH thread too just to compare answers but I'm pretty tired of a lot of the AH 'humour' tbh. :rolleyes:

The Real News is the only news with unbiased coverage I know of but there may be others.

Lots of people criticise Russia Today for being anti-western propaganda but I think it produces news no different to 99% of news channels in US and UK for example, there's really no difference.

It's easy for Russia Today to expose hypocrisy of western politics and that's the main reason it gets dismissed by some people incapable of separating fantasy from reality, watch this space for examples.

Too many of them all use the same source

Russia today seems like a good source,i would say (yes i know) rte(not always the first with the news,and some of their news items are a little on the mundane side,but its realiable),sky news,bbc,euronews is a new favourite of mine(not too gone on the no comment thing though)..

I like RT and Al Jazeera at least simply for a fresh perspective.

The Independent (London)
Huffington Post
Counterpunch
Politico.ie and TheJournal for Irish coverage.

Changes all the time really.

RT documentaries are OK, their news coverage is a bit dumbed down the same as Sky etc. Same goes for Al J.

I'd never take anything at face value from only one source.
