Good independent news sites?
Hey, Void. Below is a good, central, all-purpose news site that has links to legit news agencies, services and networks all over the world. Scroll down on the Drudge home page and you'll see them all listed and linked there. Yahoo and other sites like it typically get their news from various wire services like AP and Reuters, and so it's legitimate news. It's just often slightly abbreviated, like a Readers Digest version of a story. But then, most online news is that way these days.
How biased news is is something you have to sort out for yourself after reading it in multiple places. I find CNN, ABC/CBS/NBC, the big metropolitan papers, and newsmagazines like Time and Newsweek fairly objective, but super-conservatives swear that they're riddled with liberal bias. Reporters do tend to be more liberal than average, generally, because they're usually well educated, fairly well traveled, better read than average--particularly in world affairs, and because their job is to question the status quo, which, at the moment, is conservative. They also question liberal politicians, too. Often the conservatives who yell "liberal bias" the loudest are only familiar with the very limited, polarizing, conservative-filtered information they get from people like Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, or other Fox News commentators. I find that few of the strongly conservative types I know have ever read an actual newspaper or magazine. They just hear--and believe--what little bits and bytes of polarizing noise they get from the loudmouth talking heads on TV.
