I basically can't stomach watching/reading any "news" media any longer. Fox News needs no introduction, CNN follows closely behind. I'm so sickened by all the bias (one way or the other) that I feel like it's all tabloid nonsense and that it isn't worth my time.


You might try CBSN - they seem to work really hard to avoid bias. Particularly anything Major Garret or Margeret Brennen do is really well considered and thoughtful. I was extremely sick of bad reporting and having to shout “except that’s not the whole story...” every time I watched the news - at very least Face the Nation is excellent journalism.

A year and a half old, which is a lifetime in Trumpworld, but still relevant. The top (composite) infographic paints a pretty good picture of which outlets are most and least trustworthy, or at least viewed that way.

Interesting when you look at the partisan breakdown in the lower graphics. The Democrats adhere fairly closely to the consensus view, aside from assigning some additional weight to outlets like Washington Post and CNN. But the Republicans appear completely divorced from the middle, placing Fox News and WSJ on a pedestal and distrusting all else, including such relatively unbiased sources as PBS, AP, and NPR.


There's also https://www.allsides.com but I've become so disgusted with all the politicians/politics that I don't even bother with it.
