Results: Who do you trust?
The explosion of media outlets provides myriad places to obtain news. But with this plethora of options, it is difficult to know which to trust; which is truthful; which is biased. In alphabetical order, there is no preference shown in my attempt to be representative and inclusive. Most also have a web presence. Feel free to add others in comment section.
