[ANALYSIS and OPINION]
In the constant quest to find objective fact and to get objective news, we have written two prior articles concerning biased and fake news. In those articles we included some suggested news and other sources that should help a reader better determine what’s objectively true and what’s not. Here are the links to the two previous articles we published on this subject here on reasonandbalance.com.
How to Get Unbiased News (07/28/23 and 08-02-23) https://reasonandbalance.com/how-to-get-unbiased-news/
Finding Credible Unbiased News (11/5/23) https://reasonandbalance.com/finding-credible-unbiased-news-how-to-find-fair-objective-unbiased-news-checking-news-source-credibility-newsguard/
To those articles we would like to add the following which the reader may also find useful:
Wikipedia also publishes a list of fake news websites, which it defines as:
“Fake news websites are those which intentionally, but not necessarily solely, publish hoaxes and disinformation for purposes other than news satire. Some of these sites use homograph spoofing attacks, typosquatting and other deceptive strategies similar to those used in phishing attacks to resemble genuine news outlets.”

Also a website/email service of some interest is 1440 Daily Digest, which is a subscription email that anyone can sign up for that states the one of its major purposes is to report news objectively. Anyone who subscribes gets a daily gmail summarizing in an objective fashion relevant items of news interest. Here’s the link.
As time goes on the unfortunate fact of the matter is that the average citizen must be willing to actually take time and do their homework to find objective fact. At least there are ways to do so.
However, now more than ever it is incumbent on all people to actively seek out objective facts before they elect any candidate to public office. If enough folks fail to do so, our nation and democracy itself will probably suffer and, in fact, might be lost.
