Dr. Shane Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 What is your most trusted source of political news? Do you get your news from several sources which claim to be objective? Do you get your news from sources are idealogical - that means they openly push a political ideology? Do you get excited about issues when you listen to the news or are you skeptical of suspected or open bias? Too many people today listen to news they agree with. They look for news sources that match their personal bias. Then they swallow that news source's spin on the news hook, line and sinker without the least bit of skepticism. Here are a few openly bais news sources: Conservative: National Review Rush Limbaugh Sean Hannity Newsmax.com MediaResearch.org American Spectator Liberal: Salon.com Hardball with Chris Matthews Media Matters Air America BuzzFlash.com CommonDreams.org ThinkProgress.org Some people actually get their news from comedy programs such as Saturday Night Live and The Daily Show, both known to be openly liberal, but neither claiming to be factually correct in reporting news.

Neil D Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Lately, I have not been listening to the news....I have gone to cuil.com...[pronounced "cool"dot com]. It provides me with google new, yahoo news, CNN, CNET, BBC, and a few others that I have not looked at. That should be a source that you could take hook line and sinker, it seems to me... And before you start to say that those are left leaning organizations, I think you should know, BBC is a conservative news organization run by conservatives in the UK. Of course, that might mean that they are left of the US center, but nevertheless, they are conservatives in general... And I tend to look at reporting that goes a bit deeper than the superficial What...I also look for the Who, the When, Where, Why, and how come to be answered in any reported article. I find that there is a lot of embellishment on the how come from the concervative news sources....Sad, cuz one can not take them as serious when they embellish thier stories......

Dr. Shane Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Anyone can build their own Google page at http://www.google.com/ig and have news highlights from all kinds of sources including the Adventist News Network. My homepage is my custom made Google page. I have NPR, BBC, USA Today, FOXNews, ESPN, CBS News, Christianity Today, Drudge Report and CNN on it. I do not believe there is any source of news it is safe to take hook, line and sinker. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor...

Moderators John317 Posted August 1, 2008 Moderators Share Posted August 1, 2008 Thanks, Shane. That looks like something news hounds like myself should really take advantage of. And you're right about news-- that's why it is best to verify and get it from multiple sources and viewpoints. It keeps 'em honest-- well, kinda honest anyway. Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
