I'm British so much doesn't apply to me. Thanks for including 'other alternative left outlets though' in your very well made poll.

I still get news from the mainstream but I increasingly distrust it.

Me too. Some alternative outlets have picked up old habits, but some have been such a huge contribution to political discussion and I wish I could have added even more.

I've been using Ground News quite a bit lately. Mostly, it's been BBC and Morning Star. I used to get Daily Mail on odd occasions simply to see what t'other mob are saying. Now I dip in and out of Daily Mail on line because the hard copy version makes me feel grubby. I still feel grubby with the online version, but it's not as bad.
From my nosey friend.

I kinda just randomly browse around and keep a critical eye out.

None, unless its on while im around. 80% of the time the media only tells what people want to hear. Online sources tend to be more accurate

Lot of options there. Not sure if 'news' applies to all of them but you covered the bases.
I was big on Al Jazeera America but, as we saw, sober, fact-based reporting doesn't have a place on American television. I think CNN International does a pretty good job in terms of major outlets. For print I tend to go to the AP, Reuters and the NY Times just because I know how diligently they vett their stories.

@Ynotisay CNN is fake news. Then again lots of news outlets are. CNN is the worst. Did you see a CNN reporter faked a rescue during the Houston hurricane?

@Coolkid77 Do you see my profile name? Try to remember it and NEVER write me again about the media or 'fake news.' I really have no room in my world for that kind of thinking. Thanks.

@Ynotisay You're welcome.

The newspaper and the telly news from a couple different networks but you always have to be careful using sources like that because of how biased they can be. I listen to a lot of radio talk too, and the Week magazine usually has a decent amount of credible material.

No joke the deep web👍 it's the only place that hasn't been compromised in one way or another.
I don't really get my news anywhere. Too many people whine about the media so it's turned me off to the news entirely. Even local news.

Mostly on Facebook for local news. I hate the news. Too much fake news is out there plus a lot of them are pushing their viewers to just one side. A lot the news that gets reported, shouldn't for security reasons.
