    As we know the media is some sort of left wing opinion machine piped into the minds of the nation by sandle wearing lefties out if touch with reality so can anyone suggest good sources of news that use to get real information (it's well known that the media is completely left wing and there has even been a number of studies showing this)

    Interesting point , as for myself I gave up on mainstream print media years ago , so much so now I won't even pick up and read a newspaper that somebody else bought ,in the barbers or the pub, they're always too negative.

    What's the deal with disasterous news appealing to the mainstream or have the media got it wrong. Some of the headlines would make you weep.

    As for good news I like Gizmag for techie stuff and RT.com for a different slant, sorry I don't have more to offer, apart from the good economic news thread here on boards :D

    All news from print and media have a slant towards one opinions or another, probably always had,From fox to Rt and everything in between, a lot of people read what they want to believe, For me I don't believe any of them and try to read between the lines, same with tv. You be hard to find any impartial news site anywhere.

    Crazily bold guess here, but is this thread more about taking a swipe at lefties than actually wanting any kind of suggestions?

    That breitbart site seems very balanced, I notice a lot of neutral unbiased posters with a lack of agenda citing it here.

    Mod:

    If this isn't a thread created just to have a go at "sandal wearing lefties", then I am actually Nicolas Cage.

    If you are serious, then take a look in News & Media here. Read their charter before posting, and avoid generalisations.
