The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I suggest getting a variety, since every outlet will have some bias as to what they choose to cover or not cover. None can cover everything, so what they choose to cover is already a bias. NYT, NPR, Guardian, BBC, surprisingly you can get decent coverage from al Jazeera. I don't do cable news, so can't recommend any of them (and would recommend against them). VICE News can be good. There are probably some others if I thought hard about it. But those sources will call BS on a Dem or a Rep when they are spewing BS. Which is their job. I want to know the dirt, no matter whose dirt it is. I also like some international sources as they have different perspectives on American news, and are generally not carrying the banner of either US party.

I do not want an outlet that has a proven track record of lying to me, even if those are lies that I would be prone to believing. They are doing me no favors if they are lying to me. Which is why I usually try to verify a story from more than one source, and as another poster said, going to original source documents (e.g. the filings of Dominion, including company memos and depositions) is golden.
