Are There Any GOOD Internet News Sites?

[ophiuchus]

To answer the question of the original post, I would have to say, "No." I have yet to find any Internet news source with the editorial integrity or fact-checking prowess of 20th century print. To learn anything meaningful, I have to sift through a number of sources (across multiple nationalities), attempt to ignore political agendas and biases, and keep a survey of common denominators in my head, and do a great deal of fact-checking on my own.

The title of this thread should have just been....which side of the aisle are you on, as where one gets their news both reveals and steers their views.

I agree with this, but I also believe one prefers news from sources that agree with or confirm his/her views.

So much disappointment in one thread. What happened to the Men of the West?

What happened to the Men of the West?

Fluoride.

Soy.

It's a one-two punch. Fluoride takes out the brain, and soy takes out the testicles.

To answer the OP... Yes! ProPublica is an in-depth news machine and reminds me of the objective, no bullshit news of my youth. Unfortunately, Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow are still dead.

Ha! I read this title and thought: "huh, I have to check this out, I need a good news source too!"
There are new sites for me to check out so thanks for that. And thanks as well for not getting it closed down

Despite it's reputation for leaning left, I find NPR remarkably open and informative....new wise.

Where do I go for news?

Here.

If people know about events of real importance you guys will probably be talking about it.
Not much has come up lately so it sounds like the world is a pretty uneventful place at the moment.
