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. |  |

Sky News.
I find it very good and balanced. The name alone will probably get lots of replies telling me i'm wrong but oh well. |  |

From multiple sources.
If I pick up an interesting piece of news, I'll look for that covered across multiple sources to try and get a fair few differing points on it. |  |

Times Radio (when I'm driving) is decent. We also like Channel 4 news on the TV. |  |
| Trust the process. Trust Phil. |

Bit left-leaning for me. There's no viewpoint for Fascists. | |

I did a poll for you amongst friends and the conclusion is...80% take the Guardian... the other 20% buy it. Does this help? |  | | |

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. |  | | |

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. |  | | |

Tucker Carlson.
I watch him say words and string together antonyms of every word he uses in real time. From the resultant sentence I have the truth.
I've been doing it since his Grange Hill days, and it has stood me in good stead. |  |

After listening to him do you smash your balls in with a sledgehammer? Important to get a good balance. | | | |

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. |  |

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. |  |

Regularly read the Guardian and the Telegraph (tho much less so the latter nowadays, it's gone badly downhill, but do still have a subscription). Variety of online sources, including on occasion overseas newspapers. Selection of YouTube commentators (e.g. Anders Puck Nielsen on Ukraine). |  |
