I've been thinking lately that I need to be better informed, and It'd be cool if I could find a place that gives factual, non-biased news. Maybe I'm being a little na

Asking if there is an honest news source is like asking if the world has reached world peace.

everything is bullshit depends how you perceive it.I choose to play the stay skeptical and gather knowledge until it is flat out said game, works for me.

So no there is no source, sure people are gonna post websites they think are legit but one man's bullshit is another's truth just use your judgement honestly it's the best way to go.

this isn't the case for everyone..

Every new source lies and/or exaggerates to some extent along with their held bias.

I've worked with raw reuters feed, pre-voice over editing. Chances are what you see visually as opposed to the story they build around the imagery/video are the news items scripted to be talked about.

You can't ask such a question, because at some level 'news' you'll need to believe what you hear taken with a grain of salt, outside of experiencing what you expect to be reported on. Truth of the matter is, you can't trust every news source but you can digest the information you see and create your own opinion.

In some cases, I may read a news story, see a headline, or watch a video, but not necessarily believe the content they voice over. So I'll go ahead and research on my own more, purely based on the fact that I would rather hear the same story told by a few people to gauge my own opinion on it.

sometimes you just have to be there to believe it. pictures/movies/news are not the whole story.

it's hard enough to trust some people around you already, yet to trust media, is even harder.

This is coming from an atheist: Christian Science Monitor.

Also, the New York Times, but conservatives call it bias. The Week is good, but a little dry at times.

Honesty and accuracy are not the same thing. They may be honest in telling you what they believe is true but the fact that the information they provided may not have been accurate doesn't change the fact that they provided the information in good faith believing that it was true. This isn't only with the weather, this happens with normal news too.

If you're looking for a non biased news source then you'll never find it on stories other than those that merely report facts than you won't find it. Everything you do is affected by your biases even when you don't mean for it to, including news articles.

So no, they don't exist.
