and Res, every intelligent person can find that study that showed that Fox viewers are the LEAST knowledgable about current events, geography and history compared to regular viewers of the other major news sites. PBS viewers at at the top of the list, and my contention is that NO ONE should stick to ANY single source.

I couldn't agree more.
I have a dozen different news sources bookmarked on my computer that range all over the spectrum.
You have to know every side. Every angle.
Otherwise, you're not informed.

To the best of my knowledge I have never linked to MSNBC in CWoS. (and if I did it was so long ago I still had a hairline ...lol)
I have absolutely NEVER quoted or linked to Al Jazeera. I've never even been to the site.
I almost never quote or link to bloggers. I prefer news over opinion.
(do you EVER know what your taking about, Pud?)
For the record, my bookmarked news sources are:
CNN
MSNBC (I use the term "news source" for this one with a grain of salt)
The Huff
Fox (I use the term "news source" for this one with a bag of salt)
Breitfart (more opinion than real news. a glorified bloggers site.)
CBC
NPR
The Real News
The Independent
Reuters
BBC (the unprecedented benchmark for unbiased objectivity)
That Pud, is how you stay informed ... instead of just saying that your informed.

Bookmarked and reading them is two different things....
Then you know that, cuz it's like sayin' you go to the library all the time...it imply's you read, when clearly you don't.
Don't miss understand me....what I'm saying is that a cat coughs up more in a hair ball than you do in witty conversation, here.
Keep trying.

I got some bad "news" fer ya, Pud.
When a news source has a political agenda .... then it's not a news source!
It's editorial opinion masquerading as news.
And that's something that you will simply NEVER be able to understand.
Because you can't.

I'd elaborate by saying that almost all news sources, from TV to blogs to newspapers have 'agendas'. Some, like Fox, MSNBC or Breitbart are blatant and pretty obvious, most are more subtle, but still there. Of your list, I'd say BBC may be the least 'biased', and further gives a non-US perspective that is valuable. Of US sources, the Christian Science Monitor may be the least biased of major sources. But, my whole point is that one needs to read/view a lot of things about any serious issue, think about what you've read or heard, and then THINK FOR ONESELF. That last bit is where Pud seems completely out of his league. Likely lack of education, but who knows?
