What news outlet do you use these days? 14:31 - Mar 16 with 2154 views | mutters | Interested in hearing where people get their news/current events from as I am getting increasingly jaded by reading news/info which has political agendas. Historically I am a Guardian reader, however recently I am finding them leaning too much to the left and feel a lot of their opinion pieces are opportunities to kick the right. (Not that I am against that when appropriate, I am just looking for more balanced journalism with no agenda/leanings). Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. | |

What news outlet do you use these days? on 15:42 - Mar 16 with 1318 views | Crawfordsboot | Try Byline Times. They are an alternative source of news with quite a bit of in depth reporting. No tracking or adverts. I try to use at least three different sources so as to provide balance. This in itself has opened my eyes to how each one has a party line with its own prejudices making it impossible to get a balanced view from reading just one news source. | | | |
What news outlet do you use these days? on 15:45 - Mar 16 with 1309 views | MattinLondon | Daily Mail, GB News, Sun, Daily Express, Telegraph, Mail on Sunday, Sunday Sun, Sunday Telegraph and the Sunday Express. Unfortunately the mainstream press is dominated by liberals so there’s only so much right news to read. | | | |

What news outlet do you use these days? on 16:43 - Mar 16 with 1208 views | Churchman | For headlines I look at the BBC, Sky, ITV etc. For in depth stuff, the Guardian first. It’s free to access. Then I go to yahoo news headlines that picks up a variety of sources including small articles from outlets that would charge if you logged in to their papers. Then if it’s a complex or very political story I’ll look further - foreign news. In other words, I try and read as widely as possible if I’m interested in the subject. I learned from work first hand that most news is 85% rubbish. In other words are made up, based on nuggets of information, have a slant to them, are basically inaccurate. The percentage is of course variable depending on the subject and entirely subjective! Oh, and I pick up the free Metro if I’m out walking past a stack and we get the Mail on Saturday. Mrs C likes the tv pages and reckons they’re good for cat litter. No I don’t read the paper itself. | | | |

I know I joke a lot about the intellectual rigour of this place, but it quite frequently offers a more informed and grown up standard of debate than th slovak radio, Jeremy Vine and Question Time. | |

What news outlet do you use these days? on 17:30 - Mar 16 with 1104 views | factual_blue | The monthly Ixworth Newsletter. Crucial for updates on the Hempyard Bridge and the ghost junction debate for the mooted new housing. And occasional mentions of the Parish Council chairman, Ben. | |

Variety of online sources, including on occasion overseas newspapers. Selection of YouTube commentators (e.g. Anders Puck Nielsen on Ukraine). | |
