I'm curious, what is a "credible" news source these days?

I don't think any of the major news networks have much credibility any more, it's just that some may seem better than others simply because they align more with your particular personal opinions and biases.

I think that is not true in the EU at least. There are many credible news sources in the Northern European countries, that I follow, and they have different political leanings.

Unfortunately, in the United States all of our major news outlets are extremely biased and have been caught red-handed manipulating or outright lying about the news.

The only approach I've found is to consume a few news sources through the lens of their known biases in an attempt to get something resembling the whole picture.

the credibility does improve the further the news outlet hq is away from the location of the topic.
