Do you Google search and click on whatever news sources come up or do you look into the news sources leanings, news reporting quality, and credibility? Maybe just if you can vibe with it or not in general?

Simplified

Do you save a list of specific news sites? Or do you just click on anything just to read that specific story on a search engine?

Me personally: I have a set list of sites I check. I know that they are credible and trust worthy to the public, being non profits and them having high standards to news reporting. (some of them include Npr, and Ap news) Most of their news stories are intended to benefit the public. Of course they aren’t always perfect, but a solid choice, especially if you’re starting out on picking a specific news source.

How about you all?

    as far as a collection of news, I get a lot of it from 1440, which compiles current, objective news stories reliably.

    I get ideas from the posts here, but I’m pretty careful about checking multiple sources before accepting any of the articles people post here as legitimate information.

      I heard of services like this that do this or similar I haven’t;t actually checked one out long enough to see how well it works myself.

        a lot of aggregators just throw shit together, but 1440 works pretty hard on making sure their articles are simply reporting significant news from reliable sources.
