I only watch Greta on FNC. She’s the only one I can stand anymore with regard to the news folks. At least she’s not screaming and talking over people all the time.

My main source of info is FR as well. I also like the Center for Western Journalism. Check it out.

I look at as many sources of “news” as I can. The most believable statements are those that are against the interests of those who say them. If a democrat admits that a liberal idea is dumb, he/she is credible (same goes for conservative positions).

A great question (if I do say so myself) for journalists to ask guests (to the extent guests appear on these “news” shows any more) would be: “What is the best argument AGAINST your position?” or “How would an honest opponent of your position try to refute it?” This is done by most “journalists” when they ask: “Some say that [blah blah blah your position is stupid blah blah blah. How do you respond?” when a conservative “guest” is on. This question is seldom asked of liberals, of course.
