80. Salon — opinion-driven progressive site; factual base varies by writer.

81–100: Disinformation Zone

'Where truth goes to die.'
Outlets in this zone repeatedly push conspiracy, propaganda, or deliberate falsehoods. Approach with full skepticism and external verification.

Low Reliability / Propaganda or Disinformation Tendencies

100. Infowars-affiliated clones & social feeds – aggregated conspiracist reposts.

 I like Ingraham Angle on Fox, but I collectively go to other news networks like Al Jazeera and OAN. I never watch CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, etc.-These media outlets have their own agenda/narrative and are not newsworthy.

Seems you went out for a pee during the most important part of the story: you beloved leader declared war to the rest of the world, wants to annex Canada and Greenland for a start and then implements lopsided trade to MAGA, while bankrupting everyone else. We are entitled to hatred.

The Right "trust" Fox News, OAN, Newsmax, The Daily Mail/Express and GB News.

 

The Left "trust" CNN, MSNBC, The Guardian, BBC.

 

There is no news source that "everyone" can trust.

 

The "Buchanie' is decent. If one finds it too parochial, try the Aberdeen Press & Journal.

 

Their famous headline after the sinking of the Titanic was, "Local lass drowns".

This we already know. I'm looking for a source we can all agree is generally unbiased. Otherwise it's all just blather, a waste of time.

 

The Sunday Sport.

 

 

Unbiased, vital public interest stories concerning US politics, UK trade policy, consumer protection laws and drinking Gran's piss.

Is that another prematurely bald angry white man shouting outlet?

Filmed on the Ground as it happened so it can't be played with by the Woke MSM who wouldn't show this anyway as the Government don't want to upset the Muslims. Sadiq Kahn promissed that anyone masking up and hiding there identity would be arrested he lied and not only that but they were allowed to shout Allahu Akbar without any arrests, provoking racial hatred.

For News in the UK it has to be GB News, there reporters are there filming it as it happens so theres no chance of them Doctoring the item filmed. They are mistrusted by the Government because they tell us the truth something the Government especially the Labour Party. They hate GB News rumbling there lies and spreading false information. 

Trump's Truth Social of course - all content is fakes, lies, inaccurate, etc.

 

Thus, read Truth Social and find out what is not true reality.

Didn't see this on MSM.

Look at those brave flag shaggers attacking a man because he's eloquent. Protecting our children innit, especially the brave man who thinks the flag is a superman cape. Brave warriors.

I find that many AN posters do, in fact, "deduct" the truth as opposed to deducing the truth.

Ah English teacher without humour.

**Fox News Channel (FNC) has the highest viewership among news agencies (TV networks/channels), dominating U.S. cable news with ~2.5–3M primetime viewers (65–70% share) and often topping all TV networks (cable + broadcast).

I am sick and tired of people throwing poop when they see a news source like Fox (biggest liars) or MSNBC (close 2nd for being liars).

 

Can anyone name a trusted news source that garners credibility from a majority of sensible people?

There are literally hundreds.  Fox is not one of them.   I always get a laugh when wingnuts try claim I am getting all my info from CNN and MSNBC, which they seem to think are BS factories worse than Fox 🤣.  Ok fine, but what about the hundreds of other sources?  I get zero info from CNN, MSNBC, and someone's crazy uncle on youtube.
