    I don't rely on the news. Fox News is an undercover leftist
    organization.

    The term is "controlled opposition". Fox News is there to give us the illusion that it's anti-elitist when it is, in fact, controlled by the Elitists.

    NY Post & Revolver.News are my top news sources.

    Is there anything better?

    I don't know about "better", but I usually look at Epoch Times. Ground.News is growing on me - I like their labels they put on the articles so you can know the bias.

    Yes, that is a perfect description. And they are trying to steer conservatives the wrong way, in subtle ways.

    Of course we can still get real news from the MSM, but we just have to decode it, figure out what they're trying to instill, and then get a red pen and make a bunch of corrections.

    These online news sources are ok, but they all have an angle of some sort. Revolver.news is pro-Trump, which is fine with me, but biased for sure.

    Bias isn't bad - when you are aware that it's biased. That's why Ground.News is growing on me since they clearly label the bias of the news article.

    Ground.news looks decent but it's odd that Bjorn is suggesting it.
