Anyone who restricts their news sources to one outlet is asking to be misled, whether the bias is intentional or unintentional. You need to triangulate (at least) to find the common thread, and hopefully truth.

@dancingtongue True, but I honestly don't even consider these two actual news outlets and find them both best ignored entirely.

@MethDozer True. I have pretty much written off all broadcast "news" as entertainment outlets these days.

@dancingtongue I can't say I blame ya. They rely too much on ratings in a watered down viewrship base to really do any true investigative reporting.

@MethDozer No one -- except perhaps the mega national publications like the NY Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Atlantic Magazine -- do investigative reporting anymore. Don't have the revenue to pay for specialized reporters fully dedicated for a length of time to a given subject area, let alone a specific story. Most investigative reporting is being done by specialized online blogs with the funding of political organizations and think tanks with an agenda. More reason to triangulate in search of truth.
