    Another site than the entertainment site Fox News ought to have been found. Depsite "News" being in the name the site peddles in just about anything but news. Here are some actual news sites:

    Once again both parties voted in lockstep [nytimes.com].

    Channel NewsAsia [channelnewsasia.com]

    Never heard of them

    Bloomberg [bloomberg.com]

    Run by Michael Bloomberg, a New York Democrat who hates Trump as much as anyone on the rabid left can.

    CNBC [cnbc.com]

    NBC properties are again vehemently anti-Trump. While CNBC doens't seem to lean into the crazy like MSNBC, it cannot be trusted given the taint of its sister outlets. This is essentially the same argument the left makes of the Wall Street Journal being owned by Murdoch.

    The Washington Post [washingtonpost.com]

    You have got to be kidding me. Bezos hates Trump more than Bloomberg does. And now there are reports he tried to buy AMI to find the mole who leaked his insanity with Ms. Joker Face and his dick pic escapade. What is he, 16?

    I'm surprised you didn't add Huffington Post, Vice, CNN or Facebook. You could have tried a little harder and found some less biased sources like the BBC, NPR or AP. There's a lot of Trump hate among all "journalism" these days but at least these make weak attempts to hide it. I don't consult the news to learn anyone's opinions. I want facts and I'll make up my own mind.

    If you want a good benchmark on "fairness" and balance, you need look no further than go see how quickly and how viciously each outlet jumped on the Covington high school boys who were attacked by the media without any facts, just an edited facebook video. The media showed their mettle when they competed for who could vilify them the hardest all because of a damn hat. What did Bloomberg and the Post have to say right afterwards; before they had to eat their own words?

      ChannelNewsAsia is part of Singapore's state media monopoly.

    A list of fake news sites. Seriously the Washington Post is the worst, they charge for stories with sources. For free you get anonymous rumors or paid marketing/propaganda.

      Way to miss the point. There are many bad "news" sources. However, bias aside, they're all biased, Fox News has also been deemed the least accurate cable news source [mediabiasfactcheck.com] and watching only Fox News makes you less informed than watching no news at all [businessinsider.com]. The summary could have linked to any other source and done better.

        From my experience with the washington post that is THE WORST. I am not kidding when I say they never have real sources.

          Fox News viewer, eh? Seems to have affected your experience, and your sense of humor. Not to mention your intelligence and knowledge. Quick, "What is the capital of Assyria?"
