Watch more than one news network. Read more than one newspaper. Read a different news magazine every week. Watch NPR on a regular basis. Their news coverage has been found to be the most factual in a variety of academic studies. And don't trust any of them to make up your mind for you. Do the work.
Kathleen, NPR is about as close as I get to trusting, even they sometimes botch it.
The best part of the Dallas Morning News, which I read daily - are the letters to the editors. I read those before I read anything else. Why? Because so often they are persons writing in to dispute what was stated in another article written by one of the professional, and often, nationally syndicated journalists.
It's good to hear what the highly literate public have to say about the mainstream big shot journalists and their work. You wind up getting lots of perspectives by reading the letters to the editor.
That is an excellent idea. It reminds me of the Federalist papers. During the forming of our nation, the newspaper back then helped write our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Perhaps, we should use papers for communication issues that are important n
It's difficult to understand the exact news by any one perspective. There are different thoughts as far as the social and political issues are concerned. So, it's better to read more than one newspaper or go through the news on the internet and there you will find all perspective of that. And then use your mind over it.

Well who would have thought, the news media jumped on their ant-gun agenda without having all the facts so they could once again try to demonize an inanimate object. MSNBC reported yesterday that Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza, did not, I repeat DID NOT, have an AR-15 with him in that classroom....

In my usual morning news media fix , I clock on to CBS , CNN , MSNBC , The Hill , Fox , the Drudge , ABC , . One would have to be a total moron to not be able to read into today's news media as a collective choral game of truth charades . The sub-headlines almost all...

Cable news sites like CNN need to be left-out of the presidential campaigns. CNN false news was caught for their sneaky-editing of what Donald Trump actually said to make it sound as if he was saying something he did not say. That is political media corruption in favor of the Democratic...
