My Top 5 New Sources

 In this age of digital media, it's difficult to find any new sources that you can actually trust and gives you what actually happened. So, in this post, I will give you 5 sources that are non-biased, and that you can actually trust to give you real news. 

Associated Press

The AP is probably one of the cleanest news sources you’ll come across. AP is super straightforward. None of that trying to persuade you to believe one thing or another. Most of it is literally "just the facts": Who, what, when, and very often, why. There's a ton of other news sites that simply regurgitate AP, and that's pretty telling. Heads up, not a lot of opinion goes into AP, but it's one of the best.

Reuters

Pretty similar to AP, but with more global coverage, at least from my perspective. It is really good for international news and big events that affect multiple countries. There is no dramatization in the tone, which I like a lot. I usually check Reuters whenever I want to confirm something I saw on social media or from another outlet. It just feels very reliable and down to earth.

PBS NewsHour
I think the best thing about the PBS NewsHour is that, for once, I'm actually looking for information and background instead of just having it thrown at me. They have the time to tell the story and try to convey all sides without beating any one of them too hard into the narrative. There's none of that noisy reaction at all. I think it's good when I need to know about something instead of just the fact that the thing existed.

BBC News
BBC News can be good for this for the reason that it’s not American, which makes it so that politics and news about America can be viewed without the emotionalism that tends to go along with it. It’s interesting how certain things that are going on here are viewed when you look at it from a different point of view; however, it can also be good for getting world news and such.

PolitiFact

This isn’t a standard news website. However, it can be very helpful
. For instance, should a statement that seems quite big be made by a political or prominent figure, one can use the website to validate the statement. I find the website a better alternative to simply accepting everything that agrees with your views.

None of these sources are going to give you exactly one hundred percent of what happened, but they are all very reliable and way less influenced by politics or government pressure than most outlets.
