    There seems to be a distinction, from all sides really, that some news is not real, ie "fake" news. So, I'm wondering where you guys find your "real" news. Personally, I shop around on the so-called left-slanted news outlets: CNN, BBC, Vice, NYT, etc., but often cross-reference with outlets such as Fox News. I have my opinions about what each offers, but I'm wondering what you guys think and why. And how news becomes "fake" and not just a different angle. I'd argue omission is the biggest crime in news today and not bias...

    Easy answer..... I don't.

    The world is depressing and there's nothing I can do about it so I just ignore it. Why do you think I hang out on here?

    I typically bounce back and forth between CNN and Fox to get both points of propaganda. I figure reality, if there is such a thing, is a rough average of the loads of crap these outlets generate.

    I look at:
    PBS The News Hour;
    MSNBC Hardball with Chris Matthews;
    MSNBC All In with Chris Hayes;
    CNN The Global Public Square with Fareed Zakaria;
    NBC Meet the Press with Chuck Todd;
    My local KATU 11 pm news show with Steve Dunn anchor;
    PBS NOVA;
    PBS Frontline;
    PBS Nature.

    Fox News is so biased as to be nearly totally unreliable.

    I don't watch The Rachel Madow Show because there's something about her delivery that grates me and she shuffles papers way too much.

    Read about stuff on the internet and then find video on youtube to see what actually happened without the commentary.

    What if there is a thing that happens and no one is there to video it?

    The only real news is what you witness happening personally.

    Everything else is propaganda, dis-information, and lies.
