What are your primary sources for fake news?

I think it would be interesting to hear how everyone gets their sources of information. But maybe to keep things classy we'll say that it's all fake news (it's not, is it?). ALL of it's fake for this thread, mmmkay? Now that's out of the way, does anyone care to share what fake news sources they follow?

As far as I go, I mostly watch major fake network news clips on Youtube after work. I occasionally read from various articles linked on Farcebook. Some recent fake articles I read from there were from a news source called Vice. I know nothing more about them.

I don't watch TV news.

I get my information from Google news. I read a collection of articles from a lot of different sources, conservative liberal and everything in between.

When I visit my folks I will sometimes watch TV, and watching the news has become hilarious. The fact people take anything they say seriously--CNN, FOX, MSNBC, etc---is laughable to me.

I do enjoy reading my local paper (Contra Costa Times) and the Wall Street Journal, however. It's still nice having physical paper in my hands.

I primarily watch YouTube for news. I’m subscribed to numerous channels for my news. Rebel News is my daily go-to. I like a few Fox News shows like Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingram (sorry Hannity, not a fan). Tim Cast for good commentary, but he repeats himself after 5 minutes to make his videos longer. Steven Crowder and Mark Dice make me laugh. I like Liberty Doll, Nichole Arbor, and Daisy Cousins - very interesting women. I subscribe to 60 Minutes Australia, RT, Dave Rubin, China in Focus, and Tomonews - for some reason. Project Veritas does excellent investigative journalism and his wall of shame videos are very entertaining. PragerU is very insightful and educational.

I know my sources lean Right and anyone on the other side of politics thinks they’re fake, but I don’t care. I think their sources are fake.

@Sevenizz: Tucker used to be right side douche. I don't know what happened, but he's awesome now. He's changed a lot.

I've always liked Laura since her o'Reilly days

@Chutebox: I think he got better when he ditched the bow tie.

trump apologists.

Fox news and info wars.

Breitbart, InfoWars, Limbaugh, Various Youtube grifters, The Gateway Pundit, Fox's opinion shows, OAN. The right is better than anyone at this kinda shit.

Just real wild shit, funnier than The Colbert Report. Only unintentionally.

Unintentionally funny, sure. Awesome? Nah.

I mean when you're more outlandish than The Colbert Report, which was satire, that's pretty cringe lol.

Youtube is probably the worst place for news, as there aren't many journalists (people trained to validate information and not just report on every rumor that exists) doing content on Youtube channels. It is a massive epicenter of misinformation.

@Sevenizz: It's worth noting that a lot of the sources you listed don't lean right. The Wall Street Journal leans right. The sources you listed are very far right. Make sure to take everything shown or talked about in those channels with a massive grain of salt, think critically about the content, and ask yourself what their goal is (you need to do this with every source of information, not just partisan ones).

I don't pay for cable. I get news by Google News and talk radio (Armstrong & Getty).

@Sevenizz: Barely anything you listed are sources of news, they're far right mouthpieces. Fox news literally spews nazi propaganda and changes its double-think every minute in order to be aligned with your dumbshit president's remarks. Steven Crowder is a bad comedian-turned-Paul Joseph Watson with the amount of crankery he says. PragerU is billionaire-funded factually untrue propaganda designed to convey very specific conservative viewpoints, all of which crumble when scrutinized with actual data.

Basically, you unironically gargle actual fake news but your narrative is so one note you'll go "no u" at anyone pointing it out.

@zaryia: When's the last time you watched Tucker? I'm not saying it's all good, but dude has changed for the better.

Twitter news easily for me.

Wait, people still pay for cable?

@Nude_Dude: NoU.

Tell me, what’s real news to you?

Ugh praising Tucker/Ingram in this thread. Ewwwwwwwwww……...

No wonder facts escape some people.

Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingram as reliable news sources...

Here in Australia we've got the ABC, which is publicly funded but by law it has to be independent and non-partisan. It's basically the high watermark of journalistic integrity in our country, it takes fact-checking very seriously, and its investigations have real impact.

I also watch/read SBS News, which is our special broadcasting service dedicated to international news and news relevant to people from other cultures. If you want to know what's happening around the world without any sugar coating or political agenda, SBS News is a pretty good source.

Just about everything else is garbage here. Commercial news channels run sports reports, puff pieces, paid advertisements, and pro-right-wing propaganda. They have zero journalistic integrity, but unfortunately they're a lot more popular than the ABC or SBS.

Haha!

Just FYI - 60 Minutes is like the gossip magazine version of our actual investigative journalism show, Four Corners. It pretends to be a classier version of A Current Affair, but it isn't.

60 Minutes often gets caught out for inventing stories, or paying for things to happen so that they can make a story about it. Such as that time they funded a child abduction in Lebanon, and got arrested for it. Or the time they made an outrage piece about some international sperm donor coming to Australia, only for the ABC to discover that 60 Minutes had partly funded the trip.

So it's right up the alley of a trump fan...…..

CNN, FOX, The project (Aussie left show), Washington post, news.com.au and pretty much everyone else. It really doesn't matter the site or place. When you get into their sources (or even sources sources) you'll find that it's pretty common, that either the truth has been twisted or it's not a reliable sources. Even so many links even posted by people here.

While the ABC is pretty non bias especially compared to every other news. It's does have it's bias with somethings. It can be left leaning. Especially anything green or gay just not as bad as the project.

@Sevenizz: Why 60 Minutes Australia?

@THUMPTABLE: They did an amazing Jeffrey Epstein documentary when most news outlets were too afraid to, same with an unbiased Michael Jackson one. They also did one in a Swedish no-go zone. I dunno, I just like them.

I use about a hundred sources for news from the USA. But I only go through them for things that are extremely important to me. None of them are completely reliable. But there are definitely some differences. Most of them are reliable in how unreliable they are when it comes to specific topics. I don't maintain a list of who f'd up what, but I do have some sense of which ones I can trust to what extend.

I once in a while watch CNN, MSNBC just to see the clowns bias hatred for Trump. It’s actually laughable people take these pathetic clowns serious. On a side note Don Lemon from CNN was on the radio here in LA the other day I sh it you not it was like two different people he sounded like a normal human and not a raging TDS lunatic he plays on CNN it was so unreal.

Here in Denmark we have public founded news channel that is pretty objective most of the times, so mostly that. And then an online newspaper (ekstrabladet) which is probably the equivalent to Fox News, meaning it’s a piece of shit newspaper but it’s definitely the place to go for minute to minute events!

I use Apple News to stay informed and make a concerted effort to always read both sides, liberal and conservative alike. I tend to avoid “news” channels that are not about informing at all but instead are focused on sensationalism and acting as provocateurs (Fox, CNN).

My philosophy is that in such highly politicized and partisan times each side typically lies on the far fringes of the ideology it promotes so it’s best to not subscribe to only one, or even a few, sources. It’s difficult to be a moderate in these times. So I read a bit from here, a bit from there, and attempt to guess where the middle is from two vastly divergent perspectives as I’ve generally found that is where the truth is to be located.

@LJS9502_basic: Tucker’s worth tuning into simply for his “Duh” face. I don’t know if it’s intentional or not, but watching his expression (especially with those he heavily disagrees with) is incredibly entertaining.

I don’t really much news, when I do I rather get other people’s opinions on it like from YouTube and multiple sources and not just one. I used to watch Philip Defranco until he went of the right wing deep end. Sad thing is most of the positive things coming from these riots are reported by tik tok and YouTube and not the media.

Fox News is beyond pathetic though, how anybody can take them seriously is beyond laughable. Them or any right wing source.
