Just getting back into the grove of working today after a little over a week off.
Decided to give the news a quick look over before I went out and sure enough, I was p1ssed off 15 minutes later.
So from now on, I'm not going to read the news in the morning or afternoon. I'll also have to figure out a way to turn off push-notifications since it's always a real pain to get a notice that some guy died half way across the world whom I don't even know.

Well, you're right about Zionist owned "news" websites. They're fake too.
Especially when they link to the Zio media conglomerate ABCNNBCBSFOXNYTAP.

There needs to be better standards in journalism... I find better news in the web forums than on major networks.
You see, a media outlet will put out a story with their spin... But by the time it makes it to a web forum it gets slowed down and examined by many people with many different interests and angles.

Television is paid for by commercials.
When they piss off the sponsors, the network loses money.
Just like a doctor is only going to give you medication that is in his plan.
Trust the reporter if they are good,
Not the channel.
It isn't hard to tell who is reading from a teleprompter and who is speaking their own mind.

Although I agree with your reasoning to a point, unfortunately, it falls down in the modern era of instant self-gratification technologies, like Twitter. People blurt out responses online even faster than organized news people do.
I suggest, that the better approach to those who do want to become informed, is to recognize the shortcomings built into ALL sources of "news," and do the homework required to make use of them in spite of the defects.
That means things like, learning enough history from multiple sources and view points, to avoid single-minded bias, that you can recognize at least the most basic errors in fact. In addition, with enough study of history or of other human behavioral sciences, you can at least recognize when a "news" report is ignoring common human motivations and habits.
I also believe in regularly visiting a variety of known-biased news sites, for two reasons. One, because knowing what people I disagree with are telling each other, even when they are lying or delusional, is still factual about THEM. Two, because most of the more mainstream sources, though biased, are only slightly biased, and with enough understanding of separate information (history and even more important, grammatical rules that point up suppositions and the like), a close-to-truthful picture can be arrived at.
Small recent example, someone posted a thread here proclaiming that Obama "stole" land from the American people. Starting from that, someone who ISN'T prejudiced against Obama, can look elsewhere for what they are talking about, then check the Constitution and other laws, as well as the very long history of Presidential designations of park land and so on, and recognize that Obama did NOT "steal" anything, though you may or may not approve of the particular lands he designated as he did, or why he did so.
Similarly, when Trump posts one of his inevitably "unrestrained" tweets, we can look at the bigger picture of how he has shown that he often says things for effect, or at least pretends to have done so, and therefore we don't have to buy into the nonsense coming from the people likening him to Hitler every twenty minutes.

In short, it's self-indulgent in the extreme to simply declare that since everyone is biased, that we should ignore all news, and base our lives on our own most selfish motivations.
We do have to recognize that we are responsible for doing the work required to use the crude "news" tools we do have, intelligently.

The most trusted name in news will retire in July, and that's Canada's Peter Mansbridge
After 50 years of delivering the news, still no one knows if Peter is a liberal or a conservative.

I haven't watched news on TV for over a year now. I can't stand the anchors on any of the major news networks.

Most of which are pure opinion, almost never fact-checked, and often completely void of basis in reality.
For example, take a quick gander at Louie's post history.

Good reporters are the ones who are reading the news, not offering their personal opinions.

not to mention abc, msnbc, public television, npr, most radio is just a repeat of what you get
on regular tv and cable news, also 99% of printed news (magazines and newspapers).
please if anyone can mention ANY noteworthy news shows online, on radio, or tv, please
tell us here.
i generally have to research most news stories before i repeat them unless i trust the
news teller.
we do have a good radio station or two here in the denver area that has some decent truth tellers. but most of my news i get on line just researching. i have time to do that now
that i am retired full time. i feel sorry for folks that have to work a 40 hour a week and
are raising families. its just easier to flip a switch and watch 20 or 30 min of tv news.
but that is why so many are so misinformed.

CNN RUNS FAKE NEWS STORY ABOUT RUSSIA CLOSING ANGLO-AMERICAN SCHOOL IN MOSCOW
Supposed retaliation measure is not actually happening
Paul Joseph Watson | Infowars.com - DECEMBER 30, 2016
CNN, one of the media outfits that regularly complains about “fake news,” ran a fake news story of its own when it claimed that Russia was closing an Anglo-American school in Moscow as retaliation for President Obama’s sanctions.
“Russian authorities ordered the closure of the Anglo-American School of Moscow, a US official briefed on the matter said. The order from the Russian government closes the school, which serves children of US, British and Canadian embassy personnel, to US and foreign nationals,” reported CNN.
However, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova responded swiftly by denying that the school had been closed.
“US officials ‘anonymously informed’ their media that Russia closed the Anglo-American School in Moscow as a retaliatory measure,” Zakharova wrote on her official Facebook page. “That’s a lie. Apparently, the White House has completely lost its senses and began inventing sanctions against its own children.”
Zakharova accused CNN of spreading “false information citing official American sources”.
The misreported story is an embarrassment for the network, which has run a series of articles over the past month complaining about so-called fake news.
Russia’s actual response to the sanctions was to propose that Vladimir Putin declare “31 employees of the US Embassy in Moscow and four diplomats from the US Consulate service in St. Petersburg as persons ‘non-grata.’” However, Putin later rejected this measure.
Meanwhile, in a related story, a senior U.S. official told Reuters that President-elect Donald Trump could reverse Obama’s executive order once he takes office and allow the 35 expelled Russian officials to return to America.
