So what do I actually watch or read for my news, what do I trust?? Well in the past three months we got Reuters on the Roku, they have a preset amount of time you want to put towards your news, ten, fifteen or thirty minutes and watch that block of time.. Most of the time I go fifteen.. I also use CBSN on the roku, which is more set for mainstream America, is that good?? Good question... ABC news online again with the roku.. And NBC on the roku.. These last two have issues with the way they play, mostly they need extremely fast internet I guess... Then there is Newsy which is fine but uses many news sources to get what they need news wise.. Sky News is what I used sadly to get the election called hours before it was called by any American news outlet... Online there is Breitbart.. I never have used that site.. I looked recently when someone said he switched to the site because of them being more trustworthy.. Well that could be true but just as you think that is the best way to get the most trusted they can shit the bed on equal to anyone out there.. I think you just have to use multiple sites and realize that there really isn't one you can lean on constantly.. People watch FNC to the point where they trust it to be so honest but in truth they are only able to be trusted less than five percent of the time.. I rarely watch them because they have no news that I trust.. Sorry guys.. I watch multiple sites and read many sites... I don't trust republican anything to be honest.. I'm yet to hear Trump do anything but stroke himself.. This tonight is the perfect opportunity to not watch at all, which I won't.. Hope everyone gets the opportunity to watch anything they want, watch the clips later or tomorrow and enjoy the piles of bullshit you are avoiding.. I will...

(P.S. after posting my own response on my brothers FB site... : I think it fully depends on how you want to be lead.. There is no news site that has any bias... Ask anyone and Reuters is great and anyone who doesn't like them will scoff at you for liking them.. Simply put it is in the eye of the beholder and how you like to have your news presented to you.. Or go without and read Mad Magazine...
I'm not sure I posted what I meant to say but... At any rate I posted this.. Got a direct reply : The question might be, "Do I want an echo chamber or neutral information about current events?" In all honesty not a bad reply and to be completely honest yes, Reuters and other news sites are just echo chambers, they break absolutely no new ground.. But that is kind of how I like it at times.. I want my news to be brought to me by who I like it brought by.. It is an echo chamber, by Reuters, CBSN, ABC (online) as well as NBC (online)... Breitbart however how much they say breaks new ground in whaty they present can be the same echo chamber if you get into the same trust issue.. To me there is no single news outlet that you can put full 100% trust in how it is delivered or how you can trust it, after a while they all throw you for a loop.. Some people responded to that question with "Fox news is the best.." which makes everyone have to laugh.. You cannot say that FNC is the best without knowing that they are leaning so far right...They toss their opinion at you almost all the time... I rarely if ever will quote a news source on FB mostly because it doesn't make sense to.. I will toss a meme out there and some people will reply to it.. A meme on facebook means absolutely NOTHING.. Most of the time it's more fun, tongue in cheek type of stuff... You want to have fun???? So do I... You want to make sense?? Well... sometimes.. I do get news items from FB and post them here which might be a mistake but I want, things like Trumps impending impeachment to be true so bad I can taste it... I hope the stories in the coming days are true.. Having Trump getting impeached by fathers day.. I mean I didn't bet on that date but... My fingers are crossed...)
