Now that the NY Times, CNN, WaPo have all thoroughly discredited themselves, where can I go and read detailed news that actually feels somewhat objective and impartial again?

Maybe there are some good foreign sites that cover America better than its own mainstream media does?

The New York Times once represented the pinnacle of journalism. I haven't seen or heard anything, for more than a decade, that resembles what I was taught in my journalism college courses.
A perfectly detailed and grammatically correct story would be entirely viscerated by those old school journalism professors - just for choosing to use adjectives. Now they live for their accentuated language. It's not even hidden.

Israel is clearly an occupying state. It is racist to the core. So, anyone who covers Israel with a negative bent is likely telling the truth. No other nation would get away with occupying a people for over 60 years. No one.

Breitbart and Drudge they didn't let me down.

This.
A good prescription is:
1 hr of each
* fox
*msnbc
* rational thought

Patrick, you cannot "trust" just one news site.

The sole function of media is to introduce biases.

You have to get many data points and decide for your own.

make a habit of going right to the "autoplay videos" and click the 'pause' button in the first second.
fuckem.

Gropey McGroperson says

Drudge and read the actual source documents before believing. And the headlines are click bait lots of times.

FORBES. Is surprisingly good and even handed.

FORBES....

was good when founder Malcolm ran it, but son Steve rolled a long way downhill from that tree. One good thing: where Forbes publishes more than one author writing about a topic, I have learned from reading their critiques of each others' work. Also the website requires a lot of scripting and ads.

The Guardian is good overall, but not for gender politics. Wikileaks.

Blogs like Naked Capitalism and Wolfstreet, with a dash of Zero Hedge. although only very few of ZH articles are good anymore and many are downright kooky or wrong. Stockmanscontracorner if it was still free. RussiaToday. Robert Reich. Huffington post used to be good, but not on gender and not on Bernie. Triangulate, don't interpolate.

And of course, PatNet, but ignoring many more articles than those by the authors that I officially ignore.

Why don't any of the surrounding countries want the Palestinians Gary?

Why do the Palestinians reject Israels offers of coexistence Gary?

Guardian has gone way down since that chick took over. It's backed the Blairtard Finance-SJW Alliance Wing of Labour, hates on Russia, defends Rapefugees, defames Whites, and is pro-SJW.

It's now a Financial Trust Fund Baby Social Justice Warrior Mag.

Allow me to posit that rather than looking for an impartial news source, you ask yourself "Is there any news worth reading?"

If you say yes I'll second Gropey with Drudge. You get alot of content in one place, mainstream, and alternative.

Coverage of Trump was almost comically negative, with the line between editorial and news barely existing.

Is this how it works ?

"True quality coverage of news is when you don't report the negative facts that I don't want to hear."

Patricks statement clearly said that "news barely existing".

Yes, I know what he said.

About 1 ZH article out of 20 is useful.

By useful, I mean it may provide a good lead in the opposite direction.

Just use ZH for data points.

Liberals want to make sure you only get your news from qualified Tought Specialists
