What's funny about people who think the best journalistic outlets in the country are terrible is that Fox News, Joe Rogan, or whatever shitty sources you use for news/commentary rely on facts gathered by journalists at NYT/WaPo/Axios/etc.


I just went to WaPo to see what's on the front page for kicks.

Let's see how much propaganda, lies, or deliberately misleading headlines there are?

I can spot 3, maybe 4 right away:

-Propaganda regarding Russia and Ukraine (anyone who seriously follows the conflict knows that the aggressor is Ukraine, not Russia)
-Feigned outrage over some guy about some powerpoint having to do with the election and Jan. 6th
-Some anti-vaxxer groups inadvertently getting funded through Amazon (who cares?)
-Fearmongering over Omicron (newsflash, it's less deadly than other variants)

Yep, a nice collection of your typical nonsense. The fearmongering over Russia and Ukraine is especially misleading, given that it is a conflict which was instigated jointly by the US and Ukraine and Russia has no plans to actually invade, which is a fairytale invented by Washington to push warmongering propaganda.

Anybody who reads these garbage sites is naturally going to have a very distorted view of reality.

I've never watched PBS, so probably ABC. Fox is the most disconnected from reality, CNN and MSNBC are infotainment with their own blind spots. Newspapers are better because they have less incentive to be ridiculous and completely one-sided. WaPo and NYT are best for news and reporting.

How's about you provide an example of an outlet you view to not have those issues & is actually reputable.

Why the fuck is "None" not an option?

There's no point to this poll, all the media outlets listed have the same 3 corporate owners, and none of them can be trusted.

There are good journalism and journalists in the corporate mainstream media of course, but are they allowed to speak freely? Allowed to set up their own podcasts, have non edited long interviews with guests..

I don't know any big news channels who dares to do that but there should be some..
