Alternative, worldwide, news sources
 

I do not watch or listen to any USA network news....too biased and always party agenda oriented.

I prefer to read non televised coverage from different parts of the world in anticipation the result would be a more balanced result.

For example, one I read is The Japan Times.

What other non USA sources do some of you use?

We no longer watch cable news, or TV news in any form. I turn once or twice a day to Al Jazeera which is an excellent worldwide news source. I also watch BBC for their news information. Right now I am finding it very difficult to watch any of the Russian invasion, it actually horrifies me to see what the Ukrainians are having to live through.

Al Jazeera and BBC are very good sources in my opinion, seldom fail my fact checking and when they do, it is rare that they don't self correct it within days.

However, I do spot check Fox News, OAN, and Newsmax at least a few times a week. The same with NPR, PBS, and MSNBC.

AP, Reuters.

Al Jazeera, BBC and CBC are my main sources of news.

I have Xfinity and I've searched for Al Jazeera but can't find it. What channel # is it on Xfinity?

I stopped watching the news on television night after night....once I did that, my blood pressure went down, and I get a better night sleep now

It's not a TV station. It's a newspaper and is available in print and online.

Agree with most of the posters regarding this topic. American "news" sources are for the most part far too politically biased to be considered reliable. For world news I like to go to sources close to the topic: Just about all capitals and major cities of countries have English-language versions of their newspapers. For Southeast Asia I go to the Bangkok Post or The Nation. Japan and the far east is covered well by Yomiuri Shimbun (Japan News in English). Al-Jazeera is good. The Jerusalem Post offers good in-depth coverage for that part of the world. I've found also that many foreign sources cover stories from America far more comprehensively than our own sources do.

So true.
Thanks for a on and off buttons on my TV, computer, and radio. :pray:
Thanks for the daily newspaper for the comics, and the rest for fish wrap.

The comedy version of the news sometimes is really funny to watch.

BBC.com, the guardian, India times (they explain in more details), daily wire, daily mail (they seem to exaggerate a bit).

It can be found through Roku. It is not a separate channel Roku offers, as is as Netflix. I found it by tuning in to the "Roku Channel" and selecting the "News" Category.

You can also find almost anything through your computer. I google and ask for Al Jazeera, or whatever I want and you can usually find where the program is available.

I had never thought of the Japan News until it was mentioned here, googled it and got all the information one could want.

I only watch the local news, mostly for the weather report.

Where national or world news takes a distant third place behind today's shootings, murders, rapes, robberies and weather.

RT (Russia Today). But Fox News has pretty much the same content.

All of them have some bias. I used to confine my sources mostly to the AP and Reuters and Voice of America, but now I search the headlines on the Internet and pause to read when it suits my interest. Most folks can tell when the author is biased, just by their slant on any subject. I watch the local news SOMETIMES in the morning for the weather forecast. But, I have the weather channel on my phone also, so that is not a consistent practice.
No matter what source you use for your news, they are ALL biased in some manner. If you think that foreign sources aren't then you do not understand how they translate or interpret.

I agree, a totally unbiased news source is astronomically impossible.

middle eastern news coverage from al arabia, sometimes reuters, & Knewz agg site, (sort of like drudge, but better details), & lots of local news from various areas in the us, i too spot check newsmax, newsy & live nation among others

true, for the 'other side', i like axios, mediaite & sometimes uk daily mail
