    What you’re saying is a big mistake that many apparently don’t realize or take lightly. Sites like Fox News and CNN are so obviously biased, and worse, they don’t care. It’s like some people were eating flies in school instead of paying attention. Consuming biased news is poison for your brain. No thanks to that.

    While bias cannot be completely eliminated from any news site, there should be some out there that report the news without flat out telling you what they think on the matter. Most of the times, these same biased news won’t report on certain news that is damaging to their political affiliation, or if they do, they give it their own spin.

    Wikipedia is an apolitical encyclopedia. It’s about education, and it relies on its references. Click the little numbers for the original source. Contrary to popular opinion, not all entries can be easily edited. Some are partially locked for various reasons like vandalism.

    you might be talking about the "personality" portions of Fox, but the actual news portions are more balanced than other networks. Sure Hannity/ingram and even the morning show are biased right. But the reporting isn't.

    Why are you acting like Fox News, CNN, or other similar sites aren’t bad for people?

    Here's a helpful link I've found to be fairly accurate when it comes to factual news based on my experiences over the years.

    Media Bias/Fact Check - Search and Learn the Bias of News Media

    For example:
    we rate Fox News strongly Right-Biased due to editorial positions and story selection that favors the right. We also rate them Mixed factually and borderline Questionable based on poor sourcing and the spreading of conspiracy theories that later must be retracted after being widely shared. Further, Fox News would be rated a Questionable source based on numerous failed fact checks by hosts and pundits, however straight news reporting is generally reliable, therefore we rate them Mixed for factual reporting.

    we rate CNN left biased based on editorial positions that consistently favors the left, while straight news reporting falls left-center through bias by omission. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to several failed fact checks by TV hosts. However, news reporting on the website tends to be be properly sourced with minimal failed fact checks

    I still wouldn’t trust their regular news.

    Absolutely research it and don’t take my word, but I’m not saying anything new here.

    Here’s an interesting site. I haven’t looked into it much, but the reporting seems fair.
