The first 9 you listed are generally very reliable and tell you when they are relying on uncertain sources or background material.

I imagine you lean more heavily on Facebook though.

A good example is with Kelly today, taking the time to participate in some sort of false narrative that he was reported as being fired soon...when he wasn't. There was some speculation that Rex Tillerson may be on his way out...but I don't remember anyone claiming Kelly was going to be fired...mostly there had been speculation that he may quit. So here's trump, out of the blue pretending otherwise on twitter, and sending Kelly in front of the cameras to generate some ACTUALLY fake news. Perhaps as a deflection over the Tillerson noise.

All totally needlessly.

Journalists are going to speculate...and since the pile of bodies around the white house is quite deep, it's perfectly understandable speculation.

best sources of information are Reuters and AP. this is going to come right from the horses mouth. (disclaimer, I work for ThomsonReuters)

after that BBC, NYT, WSJ, and NPR

after that I'd check Bloomberg and maybe Guardian, CNN, ABC, NBC

If multiple of those agree that . jesus christ, take out a razor sometime and think about a monk named occam. it means it's closer to the truth of what happened

if there's another group talking about reptile men controlling us and making the frogs gay with chemicals in the water -- and hey why don't you buy this filtration system that stops chemicals from getting into you -- and NO ONE ELSE IS they are the ones you should be completely wary of
