AlphaHoneyBadger Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 With so much disagreement on politics etc, i was curious where people go for real news. Huffington, Faux, infowars etc I am trying to see a few things from both sides, keeping an honest look at things. I just cant understand how one story has so many sides and who uou can trust.

Brad Marchand Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 While they don't write their own articles, Google News is a good place to gather multiple sources on the same story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaHoneyBadger Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Jokes aside, it is more difficult than ever to get a true view of something. Example, I was reading this article: http://www.militarytimes.com/story/military/2015/10/05/us-russia-vladimir-putin-syria-ukraine-american-military-plans/73147344/ Sent it to a few buddies (mostly for the 7000 nuclear warheads vs the 7000 nuclear warheads) The response back left me shaking my head. Some questioned the credibility, others said it was great and on and on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Best commenters section: The Guardian.com : Lots of UK'ers have that sharp wit/gift of gab. NatureBatsLast.com : Guy McPherson's(eco-doomer) prophesy of coming catastrophe. Some seriously sharp, philosophical and/or scientific commenters..don't give a damn what they say-cos' it IS "the end of the world". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanGnome Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Like TMZ, OMG! I get my news from Al Jazeera, CBC, Reuters, places like that. Places who actually report the news instead of reporting the news with bias and controversy in order to drive ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
