The Most Accurate Online News Sources?

I don't frequently keep my attention on the news. But sometimes I want to know whats going on around the world. Sometimes I'll find myself scouting around for a really good (meaning, least biased and most accurate) news source. There are a number of them that I've seen other people suggest, such as

Wikinews
AlterNet
The Real News
Reuters
The Independent
PBS
BBC
CSPAN

I personally prefer NPR.

Granted, there is No source that is completely without bias, but there are sources that I'm sure come close.

Where do you prefer to get your news source from? What would you recommend?

The Daily Mail.



Oh no, hang on, getting mixed up...that's where I go for my celebrity gossip... :blush:

My personal favorite is Reddit . It's where I get most of my news, and usually before anyone else. It's self-checked, in a way; people are the reporters, editors, etc.

As as second choice, I go for the BBC. They usually seem pretty un-biased.

I also prefer reddit, an aggregator. as for straight news, I like NPR.

I found the closest to accurate is the BBC. I do believe that the only way to get accurate info is to watch all news sources and use your critical thinking skills to decern the truth.

ROFL

no matter where i go, i still find some news that isnt accurate, i try to solve this by going to a few different places...the story with facts alike on many different places that actually makes sense, should be what really happened. BBC does seem to be pretty accurate. Reuters tends to be less biased in arab issues. CNN is by far the worse.

No news organisation is perfect, I am sure the other news organisations listed have similar websites but here is one highlighting some of the BBCs bias:

Also Alternet is pretty good but my God it sure does have some bias sometimes...

This has actually been a pet peeve of mine and I've found that the hard-hitting journalists are who you want to follow. They are frequently published in these sources:
democracynow.org - Amy Goodman et al
truth-out.org - Chris Hedges, Chomsky, et al

A couple that have OK articles but are biased(funded by the DNC?) are:
alternet.org
dailykos.org

There is also this new paradigm shift thanks to the internet where you can just go directly to the source and don't need a media outlet. If you want economic news go to Richard D. Wolff

I find that BBC and NPR are both excellent sources for news and generally tend to be less biased than say Fox or CNN for the .coms
