Where dose one get “real”, honest news? No matter which major news outlet I read, I have to question if what I am reading is true or not?
None of its true.
I’m simply tune it out.
Don’t even listen to it or watch it. It’s all fake ass lies and fiction
The only TV news I watch is the local news....and that mostly for the weather and traffic.
Mostly I watch the Encore Westerns channel.
All news is posted here, then discussed an examined from many angles. FReeping is a superior method to keep yourself informed.
No matter which major news outlet I read, I have to question if what I am reading is true or not?I don't know why you're confused. It was just the other day when one of our brilliant "leaders" (Mitch McConnel) assured us that "most news is not fake".
I hope that helps.

The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing.The plain fact of the matter is that skepticism is mandatory adult behavior. Especially when listening to someone who claims actually to be objective (or wise). We come here to FR to pool our (individually woefully inadequate) reservoirs of “incredulity."The man whom we believe is necessarily, in the things concerning which we believe him, our leader and director, and we look up to him with a certain degree of esteem and respect. But as from admiring other people we come to wish to be admired ourselves; so from being led and directed by other people we learn to wish to become ourselves leaders and directors . . .
The desire of being believed, the desire of persuading, of leading and directing other people, seems to be one of the strongest of all our natural desires. - Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)
