Where do you get your source of news about current events?

From the mainstream to the independent media outlets. Examples:

Fox - CNN - MSNBC - CBS - CSPAN - Vox - Vice - The Rebel - Info Wars - Louder with Crowder - CRTV - Huffington Post - The Young Turks - the list goes on.

If so, how come?

Reuters because, on the rare occasions when it has presented news that isn't entirely correct, it has been thoroughly slammed. Its entire reputation is tied up with getting the news and financial markets right.

I find it really quaint that people think the news they receive is mostly true.

@jomsim some of us don't. I'm not delusional. You have to fact check for yourself. No matter where you get your news from.

@SW-User Just don't trust any of the fact checkers, either. They have just as much of an agenda as any of the news outlets.

@eli1601 dude. Listen. It's virtually impossible to find someone who isn't biased. You just do the best you can. Sheesh.

@SW-User 😂 Offended are we.

SW-User

@eli1601 no it takes a lot to offend me, for real. It's just annoying to me when people state the obvious. Maybe that wasn't obvious to everyone though, so I jumped the gun.

@SW-User 😂 Annoyed are we.

SW-User

@eli1601 yes. That is accurate.

But you'd better fact check.

And then fact check the fact checking.

And then fact check those. ;)
