@wdlindsy I gave up on "main stream news" long ago. I get my news from DW, BBC, and France24. Slanted? Yes, but easy to spot and ignore.
Local news from many local news outlets. I never pay much attention to any single group of outlets. When a seemingly OTW or extreme story breaks I ignore it until confirmed by a few other independent sources.
I ignore many partisan stories (left, right, up, down, forwards, backwards, etc.)
News must be confirmed by independent souces.
