How you stay informed about the world around us is more than just turning something on. It is about where you get your information today with so many different voices. So the question becomes which voice is credible and how do you make your own decisions with two sides, the right and the left, competing with different information. Here are my choices for news.
BBC
The BBC or the British Broadcasting Corporation is a British government-funded organization. This is my favorite place for news because it kinda boring with it just being about the news. The BBC is known for being well credit due to its long-standing reporting within Europe and has expanded with a US reporting over time. My favorite thing about the BBC is that the BBC is very moderate, but every so often, it leans left, which is important to understand when reading it. The BBC is also global, so the focus is on more than just the USA but the whole world.
Wall Street Journal
The Wall Street Journal is also very similar to the BBC because it kinda boring because it really is just about informing people and telling just the news. This is good because the Wall Street Journal is kind of a healthy balance of both left and right ideas. This is, in my opinion, the best place for facts because it allows you, the audience, to understand why and how things are how they are. This news option is mainly based in the USA and is a great place for knowing and understanding American items and ideas.
Bloomberg Business news
One of my teachers in the past told the iconic line of "follow the money." Bloomberg new is all about the economics behind the issue of why things happen. It is also very boring most times with I just explain the benefits and negatives of current events and their effect on the economy. Bloomberg is also very unbiased with most of its reports because it gives just what's happening in the market.
The Clash of news in the USA
CNN
CNN or the cable news network is very much a left-leaning source, so it is important to understand where it comes from. It is a great place to hear about how the left side of news leans with CNN. It provides facts that support its own argument. This can be problematic due to it relying on trying to convince you as the audience to agree with them. This news is also made to be exciting. It made it get clicked and draw you like the view into their network of stories.
Fox News
Fox News is very much a right-leaning source. It the kind of the opposite of CNN with the two sides clashing. It is also similar to the model that CNN provides with every click they make money, so they make items that draw you, the viewer, into the news and want to come back to learn more about the "breaking news." Fox News provides the best understanding of the rights ideas and where the right plan and think about topics in the world. It also does a similar thing with CNN, with it shows the fact that supports its side.
