My Go-To News Outlets

Wall Street Journal 
The first source I usually go to is the Wall Street Journal since my major is Business and the Wall Street Journal incorporates finance with politics. It also seems to be a very neutral and unbiased outlet that gets their information from diversified sources. I trust their reporting and have been getting their monthly newspaper for the past 2 years.

BBC 
BBC News informs, educates, and details the latest stories from around the world. Due to the nature of them being a true international news source, their information is typically more unbiased and world friendly. They are located in London and are the oldest and largest national news broadcaster, often making them a very reputable source.

New York Times 
The New York Times is a very interesting source in that they have an almost perfect track record of not using profanity. They too get their information from various sources and have very little criticism about their reporting. They report news without noise and have been a respected paper/site for decades.
CNN
With politics I chose to refer to CNN in that it gives a slightly left viewpoint about the latest breaking news. I like how fast CNN is when covering top stories and their panel that debates different sides for hours at a time. Though their journalists could be less biased, they give real time news in an effective manner.

Fox News
I also refer to Fox News in order to have a polarizing difference to even CNN out. This way, with politics, I often obtain both a left and right viewpoint on the matter where I then can determine what source I deem is more accurate on the subject matter at hand.
