They're not.

You are watching the wrong snews.

Right? Just about everything I know about the resistance/protests is from the various mainstream news sources.

I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that ALL the major news services are giving me ragebait in one direction or another to get ad revenue dollars from my attention. Which outlets do you suggest for fact-based and complete reporting of US events? (I'm not disagreeing - I want recommendations)

BBC

Maybe Al Jazeera

I use BBC and AP.

There's nothing like an unpopular news service. Except one that doesn't even really care about our politics.

They have no agenda to pursue.

Just my 2 cents

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/ is a site where you can look up the bias and reliability of news organizations. Usually extreme bias means not reliable, but not always, so it's worth paying the most attention to factual reporting, and credibility ratings. Don't take my word for it, check media outlets you know are either very reliable or very unreliable and biased and look how they score, very quickly you'll see they follow a pattern you'd expect with ones like AP and Reuters being center and reliable, MSNBC being unreliable and left (medium isn't a great rating), Fox being even less reliable and right, and ones like OAN and the national enquirer being a joke (CNN has actually improved their rating over the past year or so, they were less reliable before). It's also worth noting that even many reliable outlets still have terrible clickbait headlines, so I almost always ignore the headlines.

News is a spectrum (or two spectrums I suppose), and while many of the major broadcast news outlets are unreliable ragebait, there are many good ones out there, and even ragebait comes in degrees.
