Which World/UK News website do you mostly use?

BBC if i want to get actual news.
i dont think truly unbiased is possible, everyone will have a bias whether conscious or not but i think in general the BBC does a good job... indeed sometimes i think trying to bend over backwards to try to look neutral can be just as bad as obviously biased.... its a fine line, one they will never get 100% but i dont think i could do it any better myself......... i think flat earthers is the often used example.

should a news source give equal footing to a flat earther than to........................... everyone else just in the interest of neutrality?

@chrcoluk I dont think they are that pro government really..... certainly it would be hard to say presenters like Naga Munchetti (not even going to try to say her actual name :D ) are pro government... or not pro THIS government anyway.

Mostly BBC just to get an idea of what's going on, sometimes the Grauniad (coverage of general news stories is often pretty good I think, even if the smaller topics and more opinion based pieces often seem to be far left clickbait nonsense (recent example I had the misfortune of clicking on: https://www.theguardian.com/science...approach-to-space-exploration-scientists-urge)). Will sometimes look up stories on Reuters too.

If I was going to pay for any platform I might consider Bloomberg, as the stories I have read outside the paywall seem well written & reasonably well researched.

Tbh these days I do find myself getting more news from podcasts though, just a bit more fun and engaging than wading through a new dump truck of bad news by yourself every day :p.

Online - BBC news mostly.

And if I see a story and want to double check it's validity I might google the story and have a quick read through some other sources.

On TV I watch a combination of BBC news and Sky News.
 
BBC since I'm paying for the licence fee anyway and for anything more in-depth, The Economist as I'm a subscriber. Tabloids can all naff off: click-bait junk solely there to peddle ads (which I block !)

For me, it's mostly the BBC, Telegraph, and Guardian. They all have their biases - the BBC hate the Tories and Brexit, the Telegraph is capitalist free-market, and the Guardian is left-wing - but between the three I think I get a decent perspective. I look at France 24 sometimes. The Scottish Daily Express hate the SNP, so they're good for anti-SNP stuff.
 
Online BBC news and sometimes Sky news. I do have a The Times digital subscription.

On the TV it is mainly SKY news.
 
BBC, Sky and LBC mainly but depending on what the topic it is, I could go into the rabbit hole with many sources.

I give the BBC a quick look in the morning and afternoon but that's about it.

Life is so much more enjoyable when ignoring all the doom and gloom in the media. :)
