I wish I knew a newspaper I could trust.. The guardian maybe but apart from that I feel a bit lost looking for "reputable sources" these days. I must admit a large part of my news comes from reddit. It's just too damn easy to get it there and get swept up in the hive mind.
The trick is, when you find a particular news report, don't take that as fact. Go through the net and find lots of different reports on the same thing, then make a decision as to how you feel about it. It takes more work, but you become better informed. And give NPR a shot, it's the bee's knees.I feel a bit lost looking for "reputable sources" these days.
There are some good publications, but increasingly it is better to follow certain authors rather than the newspapers/publications themselves. The best individual reporters have much more respect for their craft and their audience than any collection of them on a payroll.I wish I knew a newspaper I could trust..
I've been tuning into Democracy Now! recently, and it's pretty good (though it's not a newspaper, it's a show). It's certainly biased pretty far to the left, but admittedly and unapologetically so. I think bias is only really a problem in journalism when the authors try to hide it.
