Top 5 Sources of News & Information

 


One of the main sources I get my news involving politics and life events is Fox News. Although Fox News can be seen as a biased source that leans right, I always check Fox News because it aligns with my beliefs and I feel as if they aren't scared to report topics that the mainstream media will not. The network is very good at calling things out when they are wrong, but also good at providing facts from a different standpoint than what is seen in typical mainstream media these days. 



The New York Post is a news source I typically see when I Google something and I always find that it is a reliable source that doesn't sugar coat things or provide clickbait, but states accurate information. I use this for daily news events as well as political news. I have to say one of my favorite things about this source is their funny headlines. They aren't afraid of "offending" people like other sources are. They are just making news fun and giving fun headlines and providing factual stories. 


Twitter is a popular news source that unfortunately, often shares fake news. I used to use Twitter more for funny memes as well as looking at my favorite artists. However, I've now shifted to using it to keep up with daily news stories. If something is happening, Twitter sure will be talking about it. Almost all the "breaking news" I find out comes from Twitter. Even if it's fake news or opinionated, it's interesting and important to see what people are so upset or bothered about even if they have different beliefs from you. I stopped going on as much after they started censoring people for expressing personal beliefs as I feel that is extremely unethical and wrong. 



                                            


The New York Times is a source I use to try to sway away from getting biased news. I often find that the New York Times will report things moderately compared to other sources that swing one way or the other. I usually see articles pop up from the New York Times when I Google for information and I'll check there before during further research. 

I was born and raised on Long Island, New York. Growing up and still to this day, News12 is always on in my household. It covers a more local platform of news where we can see what is going around in our surrounding area from parades, events, crime, weather, and more. My dad is a police officer on the Island and actually got to be on News12 a few times to be interviewed for crime cases as well as providing information to the viewers. Ths source has been a very reliable source for me and one of my favorite things the channel does is each week is provide a list of activities or events happening on Long Island from concerts and plays to street fairs.
