Simply put, I'm looking for a new news source. I stay away from Fox News simply because the people they hire disgust me and I've caught them distorting things so badly that it was to the point of lying. As a general rule, I refuse to watch news channels of any sort, and stick to getting my news online. I've been reading MSNBC because of its accessibility but I feel it only supports a Democrat viewpoint and as I've researched the news organizations with the least amount of bias, MSNBC seemed to be much more biased then I had originally thought. Popular consensus on the Internet seems to think that CNN and BBC are the least biased, but I want the opinions of the people on here. I would prefer if there was a website where people could also comment on the news articles themselves. As another general rule, I never take news articles at face value and I always read the comments that people make to get different opinions and to sort out what's being distorted and what facts are left out.
So my questions are:
. Is online news generally less biased then what's shown on TV? (Even from the same news organization?)
. Which online news source is the least biased in your opinion (and preferably why you believe so) that also allows the accessibility for international and U.S. politics and contains the option to leave and read comments.
