I don’t pay much attention to Fox News anymore. It’s become too influenced by GOP establishment dogma.
The only source I trust for reliable, honest reporting and analysis is the internet. The beauty of the internet is that if a lie is told or a story is spun, the truth is instantaneously posted from all over the world. Lies and spin are immediately overwhelmed by truth and fact.
Free Republic is my favorite source for news for this very reason. A story or column is posted, the alleged facts are vetted by literally thousands of readers for honesty and completeness, additional information from competing sources is added to the discussion, and opinions are offered. Updates and new information is instantaneous. Images and video are available on command. How can the Democrat “mainstream” propaganda newsrooms possibly compete with that? How can Fox News or anybody else compete with that?
I agree with your assessment that the best news source is the internet. But, that is only on a site that has discussion where the give and take can take place. FR is the best of those and definitely has the best software for following a discussion. No doubt about it.
Just picking and choosing information on the web is much more hazardous. Even the so-called fact checkers like Snopes are themselves biased and slant their analysis of “facts”.
