What websites does /news/ use to get their news about what's going on in the world?
Currently, I've bookmarked Euronews, Fox News, The Courier, CNN, Sky News and RT, but I feel there are better and less biased ones.
So, who are the news' master race?

>RT
>less biased
the key is spreading the bias out:
Drudge Report
Xinhua
Farsnews
Haaretz
Al Jazeera
NHK World
CNN
Fox News
Pravda

true /news/man answer
RT is the best news channel,
>>23090
RT is the bomb!
>>23074
Google news is nice imo because it gets articles from a bunch of different sites
>>23080
one of my better homepages
>>23074
bloomeberg is actually ok, although they focus mostly on finance.
>FOX
How about The Young Turks ?

It's spidr.today now. Update your bookmarks, the duckdns address will soon point to null.

AP and Reuters are pretty non biased
who Reason here
>>23183
AP is weird. They never go into depth or detail. Lots of commonplace and banality.
The onion does a good job of making me aware of global events, after that I look up the actual event if I'm interested.
>>23183
Probably the MOST correct answer here
>>23190
they are more of a collaboration center for multiple news publications
You see the occasional AP article, but they keep it dry cause they have a lot of papers putting out different details and POV
>>23074
Democracy now is pretty good but everyone is biased. objectivity is impossible with primates.

NYT?
BBC occasionally
Wired, lol
>>23074
I get all my news from /pol/
>>23212
I don't like Democracy Now because they always try to present some "alternative" view too hard, which often means they invite some crazy/biased guy on their show who's spewing bullshit. They strongly prefer anti-west activists and useful idiots for authoritarian regimes.
>>23100
not really Okay, they admitted pandering to authoritarian regimes.

>>23076
There's a huge difference between historic bias of a company and outright manipulation by authoritarian regimes.
For this reason I'd skip the Xinhuas, RTs and Pravdas of the world.

>The Economist
>Bloomberg

>Today on BBC World Service:
>In the Balance: Why don't they pay more?
>Heart and Soul: Me and my turban
Those are literally the first two headlines on their site. They obviously don't have an agenda.
As of late I read between the lines on lllllllllllled 'dit and what I can fantasize are the comments of open discussion. I am here because I like news and the discussion is believabble.
>>23074
WSJ
theintercept.org
Isn't RT literal Russian propaganda?
>>23190
not true. they have lots of intelligence contacts; they often break important stories. eg;

/pol/ is also an excellent source of news
I can't tell you how many times I've read something on /pol/ that's picked up by google news hours or even days later

C-SPAN video archives
LA Times

4chan is my principal source aggregator for Russian and Chinese news.
I refuse to read RT, Press TV, and similar shit. I refuse to watch/listen to cable news, populist partisan radio, documentaries on streaming sites, and the kind of stuff one finds in grocery store check-out lines. The only exception to above is for something like the presidential debates.
With all that said, [peer-reviewed] books, primary sources, and academic databases all take precedent.

If anyone could recommend good, consistant sources for the Balkans and Middle Europa I would be appreciative. The entire area is Greek to me.
If I was pressed I would probably pick a paper from Poland, Germany, and Turkey, but if there's one or two sources that capture the domestic and regional politics better/ more efficiently I want to know.
>>23176
>based motherfuckin' SPIDR
that's all
i don't have anything else to add to that
>>23080
Thanks, I'm new to this board and never heard of this one before.
Seems really good.
