What publications and authors do you read in major newspapers, if any? > ZERO and plan on keeping it that way, for now anyway.
What websites and YouTube channels do you find provide objective looks at the truth without editorialization or an agenda? > You can toss YouTube in with the mainstream media for the most part, but I do have some websites I follow and trust to a degree (see below)
1. mishtalk.com - Mish Shedlock has been around for a long time, and is very honest and trustworthy IMO. Hi leans towards economics, which I like to follow for many reasons, but I highly recommend him for his knowledge, array of topics, common sense (very much lacking today) and easy and enjoyable reading.
2. The Dan Bongino Show - Dan has been around for a while, and is a great writer/facts guru. While he can be abrasive at times, I have found him through the years as totally trustworthy, a ton of common sense, very smart and articulate, and not afraid to stand up for truth and justice. You know the (old) American way! You usually walk away much more informed, and relieved that you took the time for the read.
3. The Greg Gutfeld show - can I just say, this is one of the funniest and well done comedy shows on TV Period! I laugh out loud several times each and every show. He is well rounded, has a fantastic group of guest and the regulars are excellent. You won’t be disappointed.
4. Dr. Steve Turley - He is one of the most down to earth, plain speaking voices you will hear. He can be fun, entertaining, serious, well read and factual in his shows. A pleasure to watch, as he feels like a friend when speaking to you with his calm demeanor. I very much enjoy his shows, and I think you would as well.
5. Tim Pool - I like and respect his opinions, as they are well rounded, and researched from what I can tell. He does flow of topic, but that is him, and he doesn’t waste your time doing so, as he gets right back on topic quickly. I find it refreshing at times to be honest. I am fairly new to his show, but enjoy it a lot so far and you might too, so give it a shot.
Who do you feel “comes by it honestly” when trying to report all angles of current events, not just the angles that are convenient for the person reporting it? (See above)
My pleasure, and out of curiosity, are you going to post a list or your picks of replies concerning websites and/or sources people respond with. I am, as I am sure others are, always looking for a new site to review and perhaps follow.
Yes, that would be quite nice. And actually it is an interesting topic regarding fragmentation/diversity of media vs. concentration/monopolization. From what I see so far the choices are not so broad as one would expect, looks like we are a bit in our own bubble ...

I didn't plan on it, but it's a great suggestion - so maybe I will. Or I'll discuss during an upcoming podcast.
yes, please do.

I posted my bookmarks. They're the foundation of my daily news browsing. I hope you and others find them worth reviewing.
