My parents often have FOX on TV or One American News. I usually look at CNN or one of the major networks usually CBS in my bedroom.
If there is a story I really want to see what the facts are though I go to the local news stations wherever that incident happened before the major news services put their spin on the facts by omitting some, highlighting others, etc. So, if there is an incident in Tulsa, OK that makes the national news; I will check the local affiliates of CBS, NBC, ABC, and FOX to see what really happened there in Tulsa. The Tulsa newspapers would be even better if I can get access to them. So many newspapers now seem to require subscriptions on line to few more than a set number of articles.
