If something BIG is going on in the country or on the planet, and you need the straight scoop, where do you turn? What magazine, online source, TV network, Cable outlet, or dwarf newt living under a toadstool in your yard, do you consult for what you consider the most accurate information on national, or world events?
Which news station/network/source do you trust the most?

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
But seriously. I have both the CNN app and the NPR app on my iPhone so I read/listen to/watch the news from those apps fairly often.

BBC News is probably the least-biased, and most competent major news service in the Western world. That's largely because they are more free from corporate pressure and control than just about all the other major sources.
All the corporate media (CNN, Fox, etc) have strong incentives to report only the stories that portray their advertisers and parent corporations in a positive light, in addition to whatever political biases they've adopted for niche-positioning purposes. Even PBS is subject to some corporate pressure, as they are increasingly funded by corporate sponsors. I think this widespread corporate bias is the most dangerous and insidious problem in journalism today, and it's hard to see it getting better anytime soon.

I don't really have trust issues with any of them.

None, I only listen when I have to and their broadcasting nothing else.
Even then once I know the facts, I find something else to do. Enough is enough!

I don't really trust any one of them. I guess if I HAD to choose, I would trust what that Truth TV says. I definitely trust World Truth TV, but don't watch their TV channel -- only keep updated online.
