Where do you get your news?

Coverage of the Chaz is the latest example why you can't trust any of the major outlets.

Where do you get your news from? Options can always be added to the poll.

Google News. Not the main feed. The individual topics.  I find that bussines focused usually has the least garbage

With that many options, you're going to need a quite a large sample size to get any useful data :)

I hear ya, but don’t think a poll makes sense with so many options.
So at least add "Other."

Or group more together. "Frum media", Secular newspapers, Social media, etc.

The current poll has just a few, very specific options.

Just trying to understand the options: Fox news reporting would be right-wing, and Fox news talk (Tucker, Hannity) would be Conservative?

And what is considered MSM that is not left-wing?
