In this post-truth media landscape, what news sources/publications do you use & trust the most, and why?
minus-squareTrippyFocus@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 day agoAs others have said no one source should have blanket trust. Understanding the bias the source may have by looking up who owns/funds it and understanding how that might skew what you’re reading is important. For news based on studies I usually will try to directly to the study which should list the methodology which will help show how well done it was. If I have time later I’ll put together a list of ones I use and what I’ve seen as their biases.
