Keeping an eye on the opposition

What about Al Jazeera? The BBC?

I used to check Al Jazeera. Gave that up a couple of years ago.

The BBC is one of the two news sources I check every morning. I like to get more of a world view . . . but sadly, an awful lot of their coverage is about U.S. politics, and it reads a lot like CNN.

I dumped Al Jazeera a couple years ago.
They did a piece on lifestyles in the US vs. China.
"Chinese people have far more freedoms than people in the US because it is guaranteed by their Constitution."

That was a bit much to swallow.

KOMO tv is now owned by Sinclair.

Christian Science Monitor is actually about as unbiased as it gets. This is surprising because you'd expect it to be a right wing, conservative publication.

Never even heard of that one, Ill check that out. Fox is starting to get a little too "Foaming at the mouth" for my taste.

Very interesting. I would have skipped it because of my expectation of bias.
Thank you edogg. I'll give it a read.

1. Is the Monitor a religious publication?

The Monitor has built a reputation in the journalism world over the past century for the integrity, credibility and fair-mindedness of its reporting. It is produced for anyone who cares about the progress of the human endeavor around the world and seeks news reported with compassion, intelligence, and an essentially constructive lens. For many, that caring has religious roots. For many, it does not. The Monitor has always embraced both audiences.

The Monitor is owned by a church – The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. – whose founder was concerned with both the state of the world and the quality of available news. Each weekday, the Monitor produces one, clearly labeled religious article offering spiritual insight often related to the news.

NPR has admitted it has a liberal bias.

Al Jazeera is biased to the extreme and has served as a medium for terrorists and anti-Semitics.

Al Jazeera America, for its short run, was even worse for all its pretending that it did.

My daily pass goes something like this"

aggragator #1 in the world. defined it 20 years ago and never looked back.

ex-military founders and others on both current topics and all kinds of off the wall themes, like pets, chess, gardening.

Glenn Reynolds is a Law Professor at the U of Tennessee, cofounder and runs Instapundit. Also has other regular contributors. He also is a regular contribuor to USA Today opinion column. Conservative, practical, sometimes irreverant, and a gateway to many articles I would have otherwise missed.

http://www.dailycaller.com

Conservative and timely, they actually have investigative reporters who have broke a few big stories, and I find pretty accurate.


http://www.breitbart.com

Yeah, can be over the top or biased sometimes, but compare to Huffpost or even CNN and they stand up more accurate over time on what they report.


http://www.seattletimes.com

What are the local morons and fools thinking today? If their track record is any proof, nothing coherent.

At least there is an ok sports section.

I listen to NPR sometimes on KNKX FM 96.5, before the jazz and blues come on for the night. What is wrong with NPR is that they censor or just flat out misrepresent issues surrounding not only Trump, but conservative views on major issues like health insurance or taxes. Their liberal and sometimes leftist slant shows.

I have noticed how the SeattleTimes has changed over the years.

They were always biased however we are seeing drastic changes there.

-they are banning conservative commenters from their comments sections (not all, but many)
-on almost any piece involving BLM, Islam, police issues, etc they simply remove the ability to comment from the article
-for crime articles where the suspect is still on the loose they are censoring the suspect descriptions if the perp isn't a white male even when police publish them, even when they are highly detailed and could help catch the perp and even when other local news outlets publish them
-their editorial board is becoming more and more one-sided
-they are republishing more national columns, especially crazy rant-type ones like Leo Pitts and Froma Harrop

Surprised nobody has mentioned National Review as a go-to place. Jim Geraghty and Jonah Goldberg have awesome newsletters too.
