Glad to see my choices stay mostly inside the green rectangle. I tend toward straight news sites - I don't really want opinion so I have no patience for pundits. Never have, and even less now in this new reality.
I listen to NPR Morning Edition. During the day I listen to Bloomberg on the TV.
I read The Hill, BBC, and the Wall Street Journal, and New York Times in addition to tech stuff.
Now I do like to watch Chris Wallace's hour show on Fox News on Sundays, but Chris is one of the few real journalists left at Fox News. He's still very conservative, but he's not drinking the Trump kool-aid and is willing to call out BS when he hears it. Chris usually has a good mix of liberals and conservatives on his panel, and he's more interested in old-skool "Chronkite" interviewing and moderation instead of being a pundit and injecting his own opinions into the conversation. The White House doesn't like him much because he's not willing to shut up and just accept a BS statement from one of their representatives. He asks hard, honest questions, like in the old days. They always seem a little shocked when they don't get the kiss-ass treatment on a Fox show.
My 2 cents: I think Huff Post belongs a bit lower on the chart, and CNN farther left IMO, but otherwise seems right.

Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.
Re: How biased is your news source?
NPR, BBC and Reuters here for the most part.

Oh, and InfoWars doesn't even BELONG on the chart IMO. InfoWars makes The Weekly World news seem like a bastion of serious journalism....

The Onion is not shown. That's were I go for "news"
Re: How biased is your news source?
I listen to BBC in the morning, while driving to work.
Re: How biased is your news source?
Mostly Guardian, Bloomberg Reuters and BBC for me. I will real the NYT, Financial Times (UK) if it is linked somewhere. The principal news aggregation site I read is Naked Capitalism, which has good original content.

Hmm. I'll put that one on my list.
I do peruse Google news when bored, which gives you a bit of everything.

Re: How biased is your news source?
I have NPR stored in my favs in car. I do however just move to another station often when it turns into a blob of liberal rubbish. Even their fact checking ALWAYS leans to the left when there is not conclusive proof either way. And the constant mantra about gun stuff. If they spent as much time talking about mental health issues, ways of improving parenting, and the like as they do on "no one needs this or that" then I would probably listen to it more often without moving on to another station. The "experts" they talk to about fact checking are known to be solid team lefty.
The big 3, Clinton News Network, NBC, Clinton Broadcast Station, and ABC, really need to be dropped to the next box and moved left considerably.
My wife watches some FOX news and I just shake my head. Its the ying to the cbs/cnn/nbc yang. I cant stand any of them as they have an agenda and its not educating the American CITIZEN....
