My top five news sources are News Nation, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Post, and The Associated Press. Out of the five, my favorite is definitely News Nation. I feel as though News Nation gives a mainly unbiased approach to their reporting and reports on pertinent information promptly. I've found the reporting to be accurate as well as important. If there is anything I would critique about News Nation it would be simply the fact that I feel they need better guests and more of them. I prefer to hear from experts on a topic when it is being reported on and I feel as though other networks often do a better job at bringing guests in when they serve a substantial purpose.
I also get my news from CNN, the Cable News Network. CNN although not a popular news source for some, has been one of my favorite media outlets for years. I like the categories the website and app are divided into so you can scroll through specific types of news when you're interested or worried about a particular topic. I find that their live coverage always seems to be well thought out despite how shocking of a situation the reporter might be in. Finally, my favorite thing about CNN is the fact that anyone can log onto their website right now and watch live news coverage by going to the "Live TV" button. So, no matter where you are you always have access to live news updates from them.
My third news source is MSNBC, which I'm sure a lot of us use. MSNBC is not a news source I typically use for live updates or just casual watching of the news. For me, MSNBC is for notifications that take me to an article where I can brush up on the topic. I prefer to use CNN and News Nation for live coverage of anything because I find their programs to be more engaging. However, MSNBC does always have good sources and well-written articles on situations. Hence why I still use the articles just not their television coverage.
The New York Post, my fourth news source, is one I don't often check but do use from time to time. As most people have found, there tends to be a tinge of bias in the reporting of The New York Post. However, I find it important to look at things from a different perspective than my own on occasion. In those instances, I will visit The Post and read about a topic I've already formed an opinion on after hearing about it from CNN or News Nation to see how others are viewing that topic. Most of the time this provides me with a clear look at where the middle ground between the two sides is, therefore giving me a deeper understanding of the situation as a whole.
The Associated Press is my fifth and final news source. I find that The Associated Press often releases information before other outlets and does its due diligence in finding out all of the information available. I also like that AP is an entirely not-for-profit organization. Meaning, that none of their stories are published just for views and clicks, they are posted simply to inform the nation of the current events that could impact citizens. In contrast, other news agencies have to create juicy headlines and fluffed stories in order to make money off of their reporting.
