I never saw any fake news, just a lot of horribly slanted propaganda.

I like Jason Concepcion's conspiracy theory that the British writer guy from Westworld is based on Christoper Nolan.

Saying NPR has no liberal bias (or most of the others) is utterly delusional.

I've always grouped NPR with BBC and Reuters as being the closest to "just news." And while I like the New York Times* and think it is good journalism, it's definitely left of center, at least moreso than how it's presented. However, I think if you pair it with something like The Economist or The Wall Street Journal, then you will have a broad perspective.

What I like about the chart, despite it's flaws, is that it places Huffpo and Fox enough on the fringes as to suggest that they're really not good sources for understanding the viewpoint different from your own. In fact, it probably confirms everything you hate about the other party. If you go to Salon.com or National Review, every article could be titled "Here's why Republicans/Democrats are stupid/evil." That's a bias that I believe does more harm than good.

*To be fair, NYT has clearly had it out for Trump this election season. To be more fair, hating Trump is a pretty non partisan issue.

I have a flow which I have added to over the years; and removed from over the years (HuffPo, Slate). I hope to try to strike a balance, but there is probably too much lib in the mix.

If I had to pick only one to read, it would probably be Bloomberg. They have a good mix of subjects, and depth; and the political coverage is generally unemotional (Halperin).

WSJ
WaPo (mad at you right now!)
FT
Guardian
Globe & Mail (front page in need of web makeover!)
Economist
Bloomberg
NYT
The Atlantic
Common Dreams (perpetual tempter tantrum left; but can have some stories that others simply don't have)
The Onion (a needed respite following the NYT, NPR, Atlantic, Common Dreams gauntlet!)
Pitchfork (help me keep tabs on what the kids are up to these days)

Whither Fox News? O'Reilly is getting old, don't see him wanting to stay much longer. Just stick the robotic Hannity up there for hours?
