better ratings means better quality baby!
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Watch many news channels, read many articles, weight the facts, determine what you think is "truth" but in the end know that you still don't have the truth.
If you go to a website where all they do is bash Obama or a site that is always positive of Obama, you know those sites are not great. They are totally biased. I say this because most sources people give on here talking bad of Obama are sites where that is all they do. It is biased, obviously. Sites that have numerous articles about the positives and negatives is better than just one-sided. But in no way am I saying those are good sites either.
You can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
or you can come to terms and realize
you're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
makes much more sense to live in the present tense - Present Tense
Many others also.
What sites have numerous articles about the positives and negatives?
I've only seen like one or two in my life. It had pros and cons of Obama, Congress, etc. It was a few years ago and I found it randomly while working on a paper for school. But I doubt there are many sites like that.

There is no best news source. You have to be your own.
I was just going to say I make it up as I go.
Seriously though, none is a good answer. I look at several- Huffington Post, BBC News, Yahoo News, CNN, Common Dreams, MSNBC, Democracy Now among others and hope I'm getting a vague notion of what is going on. Like Lou Reed said, "You can't believe half of what you see and none of what you hear."
Another good idea is to get out and look around. Climate change? Feel it. Smell it. Same with species decline and social unrest and economics. I'm serious. Look around, use all your senses, talk to people, go outside and get outside yourself. That's where it's going on.
You're doing a great job finding them yourself aerial. Keep up the good work. :thumbup:

The other thing is for a certain topic , amny of the days separate shows will cover it, which may seem like overkill but provides for varied points of view from the hosts to the guest on any particular topic.

Funny that you mention her show because she is the very one I was thinking of when I wrote this post. I was listening to her Friday roundup, international and they were discussing Edward Snowden. A caller made a remark about Arkansas and oil disasters and she very kindly but definitively said thanks for the call but this is international hour and your comment is more appropriate for the domestic hour. But proceeded to inform everyone else that it was an important topic that had been and would continue to be covered in the future. Certainly don't see that on CNN or MSNBC or Fox!
Glad to see some others that love them some NPR

I am hanging in the balance of a perfect finished plan
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand.
That's why I listed the Newsbreaker twitter account. I just want the details and no spin.
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
the problem isn't necessarily the news agencies ... it's the inability for some of the public to actually dissect the information .. .
On a normal day I read the Washington Post, NY Times, and WSJ
But a lot of my news and info comes from NPR and PBS newshour
When I want more detailed background information I go to friends and family who have personal and professional experience and knowledge in the subject at hand. It could be govt issues, international relations, justice, defense, medicine, sports, and even entertainment.
Getting information from someone directly involved is better than a 2nd or even 3rd hand press account.
Good stuff, right here.
And NPR does have a bias. I found that out when doing research about the H1N1 scare years ago. They were blatenly biased toward everyone getting the vaccine.
