I used to trust some news,...

Now I don’t trust any news, website, or government agency. I don’t know who is telling the truth anymore. There is nowhere to just get facts. It’s either pick a side or you are on your own. I’m on my own. I’ll still believe in God, go to church, support my family, and love my Tigers. Maybe start a new T party. The T stands for Tiger.

He says, " They say they don't believe in God because they can't see him....but they sure believe in the Corona....and they can't see that either"....

ESPN started the fake news trend years ago

Remember when college footballs best team ever lost in the national championship game by 4 touchdowns then ESPN started saying how that team had the weakest defense it’s had in a decade..?

2 places that just print facts. The Associated Press and The Christian Science Monitor. No spin or agenda, just straight news.
That's the problem with major media now, they all have their agendas and the mix news with opinion and don't tell people which one is which.
When I was a kid, if a newsperson like Walter Cronkite spoke an opinion, underneath on the screen, the law required that it say "Editorial" so people would know the difference.
Now peoples opinions often take place of the news.

The AP??? Please! They have their agendas, not as political as others, but they definitely censor their publications to be middle of the roads. It doesn't allow hardcore truths to be spoke but it censors hardcore lying.
Can't talk about your other paper but most Religion based communication are very biased towards agendas, but i wont say negativity as facts like most freely will.

Well if you want to see some news that dont ride the coat tails of the left then you gotta watch Fox News! And I often listen there knowing it's gonna follow most my beliefs more closely than all the rest dumpster liars! That said, 'Epoch News', a new paper online, has some very fair news. They will tell like it is! Epoch has been new to me for last year, well since the Impeachment lies, but they seem fair. I think it should be against the law to see some of the stories released today as fact or good journalism. Good luck in your quest, please refrain from spectacles like MSNBC and CNN as real sources. If you want to search, you can find Russian, Brazilian and several African news channels that really plant different views in American News that will give you a spin. I couldn't believe how we are spun in real life news outside America until you watched it. Make you truly mad.

Don't only listen to things that tell you what you

want to hear. That's our biggest problem. Listen to one conservative and one liberal source. The truth is in the middle.

My wife and I are both staunch conservatives with a thick slice of reality on the side. (Most of the time, that reality is what makes us conservatives. ) Back in the 80s there were no conservative news sources.
We learned that if you cant your head at about a 40° angle to the left, NPR was reliable. No, really: they will not lie to you. There agenda is presuppositionally statist, anti-traditional and liberally populist--think higher education type liberal blended with "everybody knows" groupthink--but it is consistent. You have to provide your own salt and butter, or maybe ketchup and Texas Pete and jalapenos. But I haven't paid attention to them since McNeill-Lehrer broke up, so they may be too rich for my palate anymore. I know the late Gwen Ifill was very good before but became awful during the Obama years.
Personally I use Hotair.com for my conservative news, and Realclearpolitics.com as a clearinghouse for both sides, both news and commentaries. Hotair has developed a strange blend because one of the main editors is a "never Trump" conservative, but their reporting is factual.
My wife reads The Economist online and is always well-informed about international news.
We both do our best to ignore Facebook memes and late night talk shows parading as either comedy or news.
BBC'S News about America is leftist without the political agenda and spin you get from American media. They save their spin for their own domestic politics.
And I've always heard good things professionally about Breibart on the right and Huffington Post on the left.
Sorry, but it seems that everyone has an agenda or they don't stay in business.

I have recently begun to enjoy their site, especially after Drudge Report went crazy with the anti-Trump propaganda.

Last time I saw Drudge on a news show the caption below his name said "Muckraker".
I kid you not, and no, he didn't choose the caption. (Some might suggest the marketing axiom that all attention is good attention. )
Because he broke the Lewinsky story, and his website spiked 100x overnight.
