CNN is honestly not that biased. You have anchors that are clearly (Don Lemon) biased and probably some others but you have a lot of professionals as well like Anderson Cooper / Wolf Blitzer (yeah yeah, I know they're liberal IRL but they do a good unbiased job of presenting the news IMO).
Whether or not you agree with their news-porn approach (spending 2 weeks talking about a missing Malaysia flight around the clock) is one thing, but as far as getting the news straight, I switched from Fox to CNN 4 or 5 years ago and think it's the best station out there for 24 hour news. I wouldn't go near Fox or MSNBC ever again.
For just straight news, just get it here in the FFA or Reddit.

CNN, NPR, BBC are the best IMO for non-slanted political coverage.

Twitter, where I follow just about every news source I know of. Then I follow a bunch of the reporters personal accounts. You have to follow the CNNs, APs , Reuters, & NBCs. But then I will follow the Daily Callers, RT, Al Jazeera, Drudge, OAN, Young Turks, etc. to get different perspectives.

Fox News for the truth. CNN and NBC for the libtard perspective.

Fox is too conservative and borders on legally insane.
MSNBC is too preachy-liberal.
CNN is in between. It probably skews a bit liberal, but since I skew a bit liberal, it feels accurate. Although I really just want to see if Wolf Blitzer will ever smile.
Oh - and John Oliver...

For TV, PBS Newshour is OK.
bueno
In a class by himself
Al-Jazeera is actually pretty good. For breaking news though, Fox does seem to wipe the floor with the other 24/7 news stations.BBC does a little better with international news than most. The big three networks all suck.

I don't really care about "breaking news!!!!1!1!!1" Would rather get news correct than quick.

2/3... NYPost
... combo of NYTimes and Google News feed for my other two.I like the Google one, as it shows multiple sources for the same stories... allows me to quickly gauge what's the most topical and current newsbits and when I have time, compare the different coverage. most of the time it's an AP or Reuters feed.
For you guys that use Twitter, do you have a strategy there for certain accounts you follow? A list?
Thanks.

Honestly, everywhere..social media, cable news, newspapers.
I don't really discriminate even though I subscribe to a specific ideology. I'll watch Hannity, read a Breitbart article and even listen to Alex Jones from time to time because I want to know where all the crazy is coming from.
Of what hasn't been mentioned, I used to watch The Daily Show and The Colbert Report religiously before they left and were replaced by two much less entertaining/witty fellows. I also like the youtube channel Secular Talk, I don't think anyone is more substantive than that dude.

I used to follow Michael Savage on Facebook. Don't know what I'm going to do now.
Thanks for the reminder there. I forgot how good that can be with the customization.

I activate one or more portable electronic devices hooked into a global information retrieval and communications network. Alternatively, I activate another one or more electronic devices connected to a system that collects broadcast signals from one or more organizations dedicated to communicating the occurrence of events and providing accompanying analysis.
