Any reliable News Source?




Topic started on 11-5-2005 @ 09:24 PM by LostInAMelody


I wonder if you people can help spot the best and most independent news source out there. Basically what news site can we trust, if we can trust any. I really wanted to know, because CNN is whashington's agenda and BBC is england's, then reuters I don't know, and of others I have no information.
PLEASE HELP ME

i've always found it's best to read multiple news sources to get the facts straight.

personally i like to read at least 2 or 3 versions of the same story, from different news outlets (and no i dont mean 3 different sites with the same AP feed )

sorry, but there is no silver bullet solution here (but a good place to start is news.google.com... - they always link to alternate versions of the stories)

I agree. I have some links to Domestic (USA) Online Newspapers and Foreign Newspapers. Some of the latter are in English, some not. By reading and comparing, I can usually figure out what the truth is, without the "subtle" shading that is so common.
For Example, the RefDesk Newspaper Index covers both US and Foreign Papers. Many are in English. refdesk.com...
You could also look at Online Newspapers.Com. www.onlinenewspapers.com...
How about using the Yahoo indexes?
US papers ---
dir.yahoo.com...
Newspapers by Country
dir.yahoo.com...
Perhaps NewspaperLinks (aka NewsVoyager ) would be more to your liking. It also has a listing of Worldwide and US newspapers.
www.newspaperlinks.com...
I hope this can help.

This is a news station posted in Arabia. America has tried to bomb it, which shows how important this news station is. There is an English translation, and that's where the link leads to. Here you go: english.aljazeera.net...
