Is there a reliable media source left?

it's really hard to find a newspaper or a news channel which can be trusted. So do you think there is at least one left or all these media corporations are brainwashing us everyday?

Wikipedia is more accurate than the Encyclopedias of Britannica. Most of the wrong information is on celebrities that some people really dislike.

Various sources from various countries

I listen / read half a dozen different sources but when I want a middle-of-the-road view I go to PBS. Their news reporting tends more toward the factual, than the partisan or sensational, and they have a couple of topical news-related programs with participants with differing views from both sides of the aisle.

Otherwise, The Daily Show on Comedy Central is my favorite. :))

I would just say to look at several to cross reference.

Not "a" reliable one, no

you have to cross refer -

in the UK that's normally a matter of crossing something like the Independent with the Guardian and the BBC - these all have their quirks but between them you can discern the truth in a story...

I don't think crossing the Young Turks with Fox will give you much of an understanding of any truth - just where the battle lines are between the extremes....

WTTW/ public supported TV has pretty good programs if you're in America (tho i don't know if you can get it elsewhere in the world)

http://www.drudgereport.com/ is where it's at.

I think all have at least some kind of bias, however FactCheck.org seems to be a mostly unbiased media outlet. They might tend to favor the left slightly, however in most of the articles I have read, they expose lies from both the Romney and Obama campaign.
