Can I get recommendations on reliable unbiased news websites? I used to open Drudge first, but he seem drifting away lately. Breitbart is too politically engaged to report actual news. DailyCaller is concentrating on domestic issues. Reuters is too far left. Others?

You may want a one stop news source, but you are doing yourself a disservice.

You need to read Breitbart and the New York Times. You need to listen to Rush and NPR. You need to watch Fox News and CNN.

Then you need to weigh all of those sources and make up your own mind.

A better approach is to seek out biased but informed commentary, then use your own noodle. The mainstream press is aimed at an education level of about 5th grade, and is skilled at manipulating its audience.

Informed commentary sources vary depending on subject matter.

You make it sound like a full-time job. All I am asking is news reported as they happened, not analyzed, unprocessed, uncensored, pure and simple.Back in the days Reuters and AP did just that.

5 in 10, 5 top news stories in 10 minutes is my favorite.

Invest in a satelitte radio subscription. Listen to Brietbart News, Wilkow, Hannity, and Levin on the SiriusXM Patriot channel for all the news you need.

Breitbart’s morning show alone is worth the price of subscription!

I visit their site occasionally, not very comprehensive.

You have listed commentators. I need actual news.

“You need to read Breitbart and the New York Times. You need to listen to Rush and NPR. You need to watch Fox News and CNN.’

I agree with you to a point. The one disagreement I have is CNN.

If you read the same thing in both the NY post and the NY Times, or in both the Washington Post and the Washington Times, or in both Politico and Breitbart you will likely get a fairly well-rounded diet.

Since it appears you are rejecting most of the comments, I suggest you do what most of us do...figure it out for yourself.

I suspect you are a full grown adult...use your head and don’t rely on others to provide a short-cut.

I would suggest what you are looking for doesn’t really exist.

No matter who is reporting, it seems to me there is always inherent bias, mostly Leftwing, because the preponderance of the news media is Left, but also Rightwing when we’re talking of Breitbart, Rush, etc.

Is there any big news organizations that are STRICTLY reporting, like Joe Friday, just the facts?

Nope.

No such beast.

I find small local news sites to be a bit less biased but only where it concerns local stories w/no “big issue” implications.

I tend to research issues that come up.

E.g., if a story comes up about a pending statute, I go to the gov legislature site to see the actual statute and committee hearing minutes on it if available. The press invariably gets something wrong about it or take part of it out of context.

In a nutshell, you have to do the job the press is not, if you want something “reliable”. If you want it done right, do it yourself.

But you’re going to have to get familiar w/actual terminology used, legal or otherwise, on those technical data sources.

Good luck.

No such thing, and never were. They are ALL commentators. Even Uncle Walter back in the day had an agenda.

Please, think for yourself. Know what you believe.

One America News Network. We need to support this group. Hopefully they can become a real competitor to the Lying Media out of New York and Atlanta. They finally got on one of the Satellite channels out there.

That is sad. I really liked Drudge as big consolidated news source. Clever descriptive headers, which read like news by themselves. Scanning the page was enough to keep you abreast with current happenings. I wish he remained a true unbiased reporter as he used to be.
