Hell, for news junkies like me, MSNBC and PBS NewsHour, and CNN all certainly have entertainment value, but there is also real journalism there. They're not just making stuff up,or parroting some else's made up stuff.

@Flyingsaucesir LOL

So who should we trust then? Name some reliable sources.

@NostraDumbass See above, add Washington Post, New York Times, Slate, The Nation, Politico, Associated Press, Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker,...

@Flyingsaucesir Thanks for the list, but the question was intended for Druvius. I know who he doesn’t trust, so I’m sincerely curious who he would recommend as reliable sources.

@NostraDumbass Thanks for the clarification

@NostraDumbass I don't recommend anything as reliable sources. If you limit yourself to the mainstream sites you're being propagandized, not informed. [antiwar.com] and [natyliesbaldwin.com] are a good start for alternate views.

@Druvius You remind me of Court Jester, despite being his polar political opposite. And he reminds me of a religionist, despite being an atheist. And therefore so do you. Why? Because all 3 typologies can be fit under the umbrella of Radical Skepticism. Which is why the Xtian, the Marxist and the Arch-Conservative all distrust the MSM, while at the same time being overly credulous re their preferred sources, such as NewsMaxx, The Epoch Times (on the right) and antiwar.com or natyliesbaldwin.com (on the left). More specifically, theXtian doesn’t trust the MSM because it is controlled by Secular Liberals. The CJ’s of the world because it is a den of Socialist Globalist Elitists. The leftist because it is a mouthpiece for Corporatist Colonialism. The great irony here of course is that ideological indoctrination is most pronounced at the extreme ends of the spectrum, not in the center. This is why conspiracy theories have so many followers on the Far Left, Far Right and Christendom, but not much at all in the Sensible Centre, which is the true home of Informed Skepticism. Your brand of Radical Skepticism, on the other hand, is driven by ideological commitments, not a sincere search for truth and understanding. Above all, it’s a quest for power and control of the culture, just like your brethren in the Religious and Neo-con realms that you rail against. A pox on all your houses.

@NostraDumbass Wow, love it when people provide both sides of the debate. I'll just leave you here mumbling to yourself.

Aren't they synonymous?

@Flyingsaucesir

Theists treat garbage as gospel. We treat gospel as garbage.
