I take news site recommendations exclusively from imgur, especially when it is put together by unverified "sources"

Google News
Wash Post
NY times
NPR

Not in any particular order and damn do I miss Al Jazeera America. Website is still up. They cover a lot of global news in depth that none of the others ever touch.

I pay for WaPo and the NYT to get past their paywall.

I read a ton of other websites for news as well from NPR to CNN to Bloomberg to the Guardian, Slate, Atlantic, Salon, Daily Beast sometimes FOXNews and HuffPo, USAToday, Forbes and of course end up at a myriad of other sites from clicking through various links. Then a slew of Tech News websites as well.

Where would you put CBS News? Of the 'network' news sources I've always considered them the best (60 Minutes, Nightly News, etc...) Odd it's not on here.

Radio. It's hands-free. I like to do other things while being informed.

That chart has problems.

Graphic shows npr favoring the right which is clearly incorrect. I'd put it fully in the left side of mainstream.

Image is BS. Facebook isn't even on it and accordingly to PEW research over 60% of the people in the U.S. get clickbaitnews from there. Link

Not to derail the thread, but Facebook has become so god awful intolerable that I have deleted it from my phone (got sick of seeing alerts from my "friends" idiotic political ravings, 99% of which are provoked by clickbait).

IMO U.S. "News" organizations are no longer news organizations. They are political pundits posing as news organizations. And when they are not advocating some political agenda, they are reporting whatever gets them the most eyeballs.

For those saying NPR is a good source of news, I say BS. NPR is leftist audioclickbait with a smidge of international news thrown in for effect. Take a second and really take not of what NPR reports on day in and day out and you will see what I am talking about.

And yes, I am bitter as hell about the state of our media.

I don't listen to NPR for the news per se (except BBC News Hour), but for a large variety of amazing shows, from interview shows to entertainment ones and everything in between - Leonard Lopate, Brian Lehrer, Terry Gross, Radiolab, All Things Considered, TED Radio Hour, MOTH Story Hour, Wait Wait Don't Tell me.

Nothing beats public radio. I haven't had another radio station tuned in my car in the last 5 years at least, besides NPR, except the very very rare occassion I put on 880am for traffic reports, which I rarely need. I'm a monthly supporter of NPR and I go to some NPR events like the MOTH story hour and the NPR RadioLoveFest at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

I do read the NPR news website, but it just doesn't have that much content updated quickly so I don't utilize it much. Still it's appreciated.

I don't find it leftist. I find it in-depth and thorough, unlike the soundbyte reporting we have gotten used to

Usually the news app that comes with Windows 10. It does not let you customize it so it grabs news from everywhere on everything.

The only news site I visit regularly is the atlantic and I watch some vox videos on youtube.

A lot of people would still label those ones in the middle as left leaning.
To anyone who identifies as a conservative or liberal, anything in the middle is considered leaning the other way because it does not support their (ignorant) view.
