Anyway, back to political bias in the media. Which news source do you all prefer, and why?
Since I contributed to derailing this, I'll try to help put it back on track. I was a political news junkie for decades, but the 2016 election really turned me off and I barely watch/read any news now.
My news consumption habits have followed my political views. I grew up in a slightly left-of-center Democratic household and voted strictly Democratic until Clinton's second term. At that time I watched mostly ABC News and read local papers.
Over the next few years I moved to the right (or did the U.S. move to the left?), voting a Democratic/Republican mix until by Bush Jr's 2nd term I was voting almost exclusively Republican. At that time I watched/read a mix of news from the PBS News Hour to Fox News, BBC, DW News and local papers along with The National Review, USA Today, TIME, etc.
By 2016 I had dumped both the Democrats and the Republicans. I now tend to vote independent, Libertarian, etc. I barely watch/read any news, but if I do it's a mix of The New Yorker, PBS News Hour, Chicago Tribune, and Wall Street Journal.
