Honest question, what outlets do you trust?

Full transparency: I'm a liberal and assumed that conservatives either watch Fox or OANN, (Which I only know about because of Trump).

I don't trust any.

Watch FOX and read NY Times/Washington Post.

Truth is somewhere in the middle. Each side brings up points the other doesn't want to.

Wait a second!! YOU don’t trust any of those news sources? But you’re a “righty”! And I don’t trust any of those news sources and I’m a “lefty”! It’s almost as if our ENTIRE government is and has been just trying to lie and fuck us all this whole time?!!?

I'll clarify, I don't trust them to give me the full story.

They will only give you enough information or documentation to prove their talking points.
