I have family members who could use frequent reminders about what sources are trustworthy or not. I like to share things like this to try &amp; allow them to discover the errors of their sensational sources without pointing it out directly. It's hard not to cause rifts within the family in this time of actual fake news &amp; the "fake news!" defense of news that people just don't like to hear. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-news-source#post-2780614 Wed, 18 Oct 2017 15:24:32 +0000 Modern Daisy 2780614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like NPR but they are so disgustingly liberal I pulled our monthly donation after the election. I still listen though because it is the best out there lol. I'm going to check out some of these recommendations! And yeah Fox News is not even really fun to watch. I'm happy that they finally pulled oreilly since his show wasn't even good but Tucker isn't much better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-news-source#post-2780483 Wed, 18 Oct 2017 11:50:18 +0000 BSB 2780483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I check BBC but will check out The Skimm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-news-source#post-2780477 Wed, 18 Oct 2017 11:44:45 +0000 youboots 2780477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: awesome! Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-news-source#post-2780476 Wed, 18 Oct 2017 11:43:28 +0000 Anagram 2780476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: Just because you mentioned that you "lean right", but you also want news of substance--</p> <p>You (and everyone on this thread!) should really check out mediabiasfactcheck.com. It's extremely academic in how it categorizes different news sources (read about their categorization process). It's also a really exhaustive list and also has categories for "conspiracy-pseudoscience" and "questionable" and how they categorize news sources that fall under those headlines.</p> <p>A small example: "natural news" pops up on my FB feed a lot from people sharing it. But that falls under the "pseudoscience" category, for good reason. But so many people I know share articles for Natural News, I feel like there must be so many people out there that have no clue and don't bother looking it up. </p> <p>Anyway, I highly recommend it.</p> <p><a href="https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/center/" rel="nofollow">https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/center/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-news-source#post-2780311 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 19:13:40 +0000 Ina85 2780311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Youboots: dh and I lean right and he says he's libertarian for the most part. We watch Tucker Carlson, honestly I love him. And we read Drudge Report. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-news-source#post-2780301 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 18:31:34 +0000 mrsrain 2780301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyPenny: I also like to start my day with this podcast (usually while I shower). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-news-source#post-2780299 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 18:28:31 +0000 JennyPenny 2780299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the NPR podcast Up First. It's about 12 minutes every day with the biggest 3-4 stories. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-news-source#post-2780224 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 13:35:52 +0000 Littlebit7 2780224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I subscribe to the NY Times online. We also get the Wall Street Journal in paper format and online, and I read that sometimes as well, so its probably 75% NYT and 25% WSJ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-news-source#post-2780193 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 12:39:41 +0000 PearlBee 2780193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also do The Skimm, at a minimum, each day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-news-source#post-2780187 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 12:03:06 +0000 littlebug 2780187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Skimm is great (an email newsletter) if you just want a quick condensed version of the previous day's big stories. I read that first thing at work. I have WaPo open in my browser all day at work, too, and will pop over to check out headlines and read something if it looks interesting/important. I used to have NPR on in the car in the morning, but stopped doing that for a variety of reasons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-news-source#post-2780142 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 10:10:00 +0000 MaryM 2780142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe look into newsletter options? Most major papers now send digests through email so you can pick and choose what type of news you want to receive. That way you don't have to filter through the trending headlines and can read more of what you want</p> <p>Usually there's a "Newsletters &amp; Alerts" link at the bottom of the homepage </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-news-source#post-2780131 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 09:38:35 +0000 youboots 2780131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: yeah maybe grandstanding or too much opinion and not enough facts. But something with more substance than Yahoo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-news-source#post-2780127 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 09:36:05 +0000 youboots 2780127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: I’m not so much looking for political news which is why I probably did not dig the Hill. Just current events. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-news-source#post-2780125 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 09:35:48 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 2780125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FYI, the Prime WaPo deal is only free for 6 months. After that, it's $3.99 a month, which is still a very good deal, and I'm happy to pay it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-news-source#post-2780123 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 09:34:41 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 2780123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: Attitude or needless drama, maybe? That's another reason to read the AP. They are very "just the facts." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-news-source#post-2780119 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 09:28:53 +0000 808love 2780119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>NPR, Skimm, Quartz, a little Twitter </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-news-source#post-2780118 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 09:28:08 +0000 MaryM 2780118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another Post tip... you can also get free access with a .gov, .mil, or .edu email address :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-news-source#post-2780116 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 09:26:58 +0000 NorthStar 2780116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: oooh, thank you for that! I had no idea and have been getting frustrated that I can't read the Washington Post. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-news-source#post-2780115 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 09:25:20 +0000 MaryM 2780115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For political news, maybe consider the Politico Playbook? It's a daily digest of their top stories they send through email. So you get briefs on a lot of things, but can choose what you read more about. Sort of similar to the Hill, but I think it's slightly more accessible to people who aren't working in politics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/daily-news-source#post-2780111 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 09:19:43 +0000 youboots 2780111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh and I don’t get Twitter.
