As a centrist snowflake, my main sources have historically been the BBC and Guardian. Although the latter was always left of where I'd put myself, I liked their investigative stuff, healthy scepticism for authority and the fact that they were happy to publish contrary views from writers like Matthew Ancona.

However I really am sick of it now. Before the last election, most of their regular columnists were bashing Corbyn as unelectable. Since then, the hypocrisy is unbearable as they line up to kiss his arse. The final straw for me the other day was a piece about McDonnell which reached new levels of sycophancy. When you start endorsing 100% of what is fed to you by politicians, then you've lost your journalistic integrity as far as I'm concerned.

So help me with some suggestions. Where do you get your news? Looking forward to finding out about Brexit Daily and The Right-Wing Rant

I try hard not to - metro on way to work but I treat everything I read with the biggest pack of salt.....

If you read something where you get lots of different views then you can weed out the rubbish and take in the facts. Somewhere like here (if you know who to ignore!)

BBC for me.
Met up with my old unclce at the weekend, ill health in his 80's.

Said he's fed up with Brexit news....so has resorted to watching Russia Today and Al Jezeeira or however you spell it.

LOL ffs.

Different views? Facts? Which thread was that?

[225]

The times for a more right point of view, BBC for a left slant and the rag tops for a laugh!

[Kendo67]

Straight off the press at 60,000 copies / hour. Or from the platemaking before they are put on the presses.

Daily Record / Mirror / Guardian / Scotsman / Indy I or up to a few years ago , the big one - The Sport

BBC
Daily Mail
Articles from Independent, Daily Telegraph and Guardian that interest me.

And for a laugh I used to watch Fox News. Especially memorable when Obama got elected

Reuters seems unbiased and my usual go to.
Daily Mail, I actually like there tech, motoring and event sections
The News app on the iPad, same news story from many sources gives a good reference to the many opinions.
Politico is quite good too

I still have the Guardian app but the bias has become annoying and just as bad as the Express on the other end of the spectrum

To be fair there are some days I think it might be better to just ignore all the lunatics in public life and on social media and just focus on family, friends and fun stuff. The vacuum between the extremists on left and right makes that especially tempting at the moment. Plus, there are plenty of hardcore nationalists on here anyway if I want a laugh

For the "news" news I use BBC 24 I have it on all day ITV news at night some times Sky news also ch4 news and I always watch newsnight.

For comment pieces I read the Sunday Times.

Sorry, bit of a rushed answer and I should have been more specific, my answer was fake news!

I subscribe to the Sunday Times, paper version. I used to subscribe to the Times website as well, but didn't have time to get value from it.

Just the BBC then these days, although I do dip into others occasionally/randomly.

Also, erm, often find snippets on here. Lobb Kuensberg can be enlightening, in a way. If only to show a point of view that I may have been unaware of

[Kal101]

Naked news is the channel for me.
