On a daily basis I hit the following:
CNN.com
Foxnews.com
Breitbart.com
Wnd.com
Dailymail.co.uk
I review these sites religiously throughout the day.
Of course many of them link to other sites so I can frequent:
The Washington post
The New York Times
Bloomberg
The Washington Times
WSJ
I would say I read at least one article a day from those but maybe more. Almost never less.
I start my day listening to a local radio Host named Ralph Bristol. In the evenings it's Phil Valentine, followed by Mark Levin, and go to sleep listening to Michael Savage.
During the day CNN is usually on in the background and I flip back and forth between fox business and whatever else I can find.
I even occasionally listen to Rachel Maddow. I think I am one of her 3 total listeners.
I don't just take in stuff from one source. I am no organizations puppet. When I am not digesting what is being fed to me, I do research about specific policy issues and the research can take me to any source anywhere.
Thanks

Seriously, I do. The 3 listeners was a joke. It is noted that her audience has grown slightly over the past year or so but she does both have the lion share of viewership in her time frame.
Note who I DID NOT say I listen to...
Rush
Hannity
Glen Beck (who is Judas)
The reason I don't listed to Hannity and Beck is because their analysis is poor. Hannity just recites talking points and never has an original though. He is a firebrand. Simple and plain.

Fox and One America News. It' interesting to watch MSNBC and hear that it's all over for the Trump administration, and then listen to fox and hear that it's all over for the democratic party. That was exaggeration for the sake of emphasis, of course, but now you get two completely opposite pictures from Fox and MSNBC. I don't like the strangely effeminate, and 'bratty' nature of the left in general, so naturally, I prefer Fox. These days, I simply believe that right is right and left is wrong. I used to believe that it was 'checks and balances' and it was a beautiful system wherein the two ideologies worked together to establish a balanced government, but, these days, the left has gone so far off the deep end, I see them as enemies. Serious enemies of this country and all that it stands for.
I just installed Reuters on my phone and I like it. I'm sure there's a bias, but there are no pundits and commentators, panels of experts fighting, or back slapping apologists.
Also, no blonde bimbos of either sex.
I wish I could tune into Ed Murrow, but this is the best I can do so far.

I am a voracious reader, so multiple sources. And I can read way more articles in the time it takes to cover one segment on tv. As a matter of fact, we don't even have a tv. I do stream news shows online, but like what I read....they too are from the right, the left, the Middle and some of them are even REAL news! Lol

I used to be somewhat more engaged in the news before the election. Now I have mostly bowed out due to the "T" word being screamed about no matter where I go online. I am weary of the news in general. I'm a prepper so if it all collapses (or not) I am ready regardless:)

I read several, and I try to check who is behind them and what their agenda is, when one clearly exists. Some of the international sources report facts with less of a slant. Others have a pro-or anti- USA slant, depending on their relationship with us, so I keep that in mind.
Ya know, despite all the doom and gloom and "fake news" claims from everywhere, I do like the fact that we can get different points of view more easily. When I was a kid, there were 3 networks, all of whom were pretty much saying the same thing.
The internet is a mixed bag, for sure, but the "good old days" weren't as good as we might like to think they were.

@Misty71: True. One site I avoid is Breitbart.com because they are run by alt-right pundits. Their namesake, the late Andrew Breitbart, was guilty of posting that edited video of Shirley Sherrod, former director of Agriculture and lobbying to get her fired. He was found out, though. Sherrod settled her libel suit with his widow. And last fall the site reported about a protest right after the election in San Francisco where they claimed there was "mass rioting and looting". Surprised me, because [b]I was there and it didn't happen[/b]. But if I hadn't been, I might've believed them. So that told me that the site was continuing its founder's policy of dishonesty and race-baiting.
@bijouxbroussard: I went to Breitbart once and felt like I needed to wash my phone afterwards. Yet, I can sort of see where it's not as simple as, say, Fox's tabloid approach. Bannon seems to have a genuine sinister agenda. If I wasn't living through it, I'd almost love to see a movie about all this and the strange bedfellows its creating and how they must be squirming at times.

Bill O'Reilly on Fox News or Lester Holt on NBC just because I like to hear him say" hello I'm Lester Holt"

The only credible source out there, is Donald Trump himself. After all, he IS President and he IS America's new hero. To make it THAT far and to achieve HERO status in the minds of the Americans who voted for him, lends credibility much farther reaching than the likes of Fox News or that other thing called CNN.
Listen to 'The Man'! The Man knows! He's a business man with multiple divorces to his credit! He MUST know the straight goods by now! I just heard a great stock market tip from Hero Trump... He said, "Invest in US Steel; because that's what the 'wall' will be made of.. when somebody convinces me to call it a fence..".
