Wanted : A Better Quality of Fake News

Afternoon,
I'm actually after a small favour from some of you here on KiwiBiker. And No, it won't cost you anything.
Other than a few minutes of your time. And Yes, it is a serious request.

While my background is Science / Engineering / IT, I've always had a keen interest in both politics and
history. So I have spent quite a bit of time over the past years reading in these areas. Yes, I know,
get a life ....

Anyway, my Earth was recently shaken after Donald told me that all news on the Web is fake news, and
that many of the current affairs news websites that I do read are probably full of Russian propaganda.

Admittedly, I'd didn't get that off his Twitter feed ... but maybe it's true. Maybe CNN isn't telling
the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

So I thought that I'd get in contact with my friends on KiwiBiker (of whom I have none), and try and
find out what news sites they read to get their fill of current affairs (both local and international news).


The sensible ones among you probably spare yourself the agony, avoid reading too much of what passes
for news these days, and spend your time on more important tasks (like building and riding motorcycles,
or spending time with the family).

However, if there are a few of you that do spend some time online browsing various websites for current
affairs news (mainly international news), I'd be interested in hearing of any news websites you might have
found to be fairly comprehensive and with some degree of balance (and possibly even truth).


I'm not interested in your politics (be it left / centre / right) as everyone is free to their opinion (even Cassina,
as long as he / she doesn't tell me how to ride a motorcycle).

I appreciate that reply might expose you to feedback from your fellow bikers (or the interest of the GCSB).
So if you're willing to take the risk, I'd be interested in your reply.

But if you're really shy, you can always just PM me.

Thanks in advance. And just to confirm, that's current affairs news sites, not porn sites ....

Cheers
