I am biased about most of the MSM because they've abandoned journalism in favor of clickbait, hysteria, and activism. They're grossly abusing the tremendous privilege traditionally afforded to the fifth estate.

I try to stick with outlets which mostly stick to the facts or measured analysis (WSJ, NPR, Newsnation,even Al Jazeera). I don't expect anybody to be perfectly free of bias, but some of them at least try to stay in the journalism lane. I look in on FNC occasionally because they occasionally report legit stories that MSM won't touch with a ten-foot pole (ex. cuomo bros).
