It can be from any source

The only TV channel I've seen in the past four years with any honesty and lack of bias throughout most (but not all) of their reporting has been Deutsche-Welle, the German equivalent of the BBC. The CBC in Canada and Al Jazeera have been competent compared to the propagandists in the US.
The most honest are independent reporters on the internet:
- Common Dreams
- Truth Out
- Working For Change
- Crooks and Liars
- Indymedia
There are also a few reputable print sources:
- New Internationalist
- Utne Reader
- Mother Jones
among others who aren't beholden to corporations.

I personally think that if you want to hear what each side has to say about the issue, you need to watch MSNBC. I like to watch CNN in the morning for the straight news, no opinion, but if I want to hear each side's P.O.V., I go with MSNBC.
I say it because MSNBC has hosts from both sides. Joe Scarborough & Tucker Carlson are conservative, Keith Olbermann is liberal, and Chris Matthews just plain hates everybody. It's a perfect balance.
On FOX, you get the same Congressmen all the time, speaking on the different issues. I like constant fresh faces. On CNN, you only get one person at a time (generally), and I like showdown's.
Of course, when I'm online, I usually go to everybody's sites, and see what they have to say.

CNN or MSNBC by far!! Fox News has thier own agenda and the stooges they have for anchors and reporters embarrass themselves by not accurately checking the facts before airing a story, as in the Barack Obama fiasco. Fox's star boob, Bill O'Reilly, really must enjoy the taste of leather because his shoe can't seem to stay out of that mouth!

The web site "Media Matters" rates most news programs fairly. It tells you when misinformation is being put out by a station (usually Fox News is inaccurate and heavily right leaning) and does a good job of dissecting each shows strength and weaknesses. You can find more info at

Talking to people who have actually been at the events the media tell us about. Recently, I met someone who had been in Hugo Chavez's group. During an earlier failed coup, Chavez chickened out of his assignment. Also revealing about this testimony is that the idealistic, pacifistic revolutionaries didn't execute him for this treason. That explains why dumb idealists have their revolutions taken over by cynical opportunists.

CNN seems to be the most accurate and as fair and truthful as any.

Dont go by fox or cnn. They are totally biased and "censored"
Mostly online news sources are more realiable.

You really cant take any news at face value these days. They're all somewhat biased. You should check out a couple different sources, and come to your own conclusions.
I usually check out :
cnn.com
msnbc.com
foxnews.com
reuters.com
csmonitor.com
