Who is your trusted news source? Who is the most reliable to deliver unbiased news?

I know the law. And I have spent my entire life in its flagrant disregard.

Seriously, locally I listen to NPR. I also like the Economist, although they do have a bit of a bias. At least it's not a nationalistic bias being an international rag. Also Foreign Policy.
Be nice to me. I'm a rug muncher.

"Trusted news source" is an oxymoron, so I just go for the entertainment value.

srsly going for trusted lol. as my nigga sam jackson has pointed out, you can trust anything as long as you understand its nature. ie you can trust an entity to be itself.

in such an arrangement, any news source provides informative and even generalizable representations of how their flavor of bias will interpret a story or set of stories - as well as holds more nuanced implications considering their basic content inclusion/focus decisions.

searching for an insular and trustworthy source of reliable information on anything is a fool's errand. instead understand the manufacturers and messengers involved in its dissemination and let that knowledge qualify all relevant observations in your ever-ongoing and multi-pronged pursuit of the Truth.
