I would rather wade through openly-partisan content than trust any mainstream source to be objective. People HATE seeing bias, but this is how our country was founded! Let EVERYbody wear their heart on their sleeve. You want to know the dirty tricks Republicans are up to? Go to a liberal/progressive site. You want to see the shit Democrats are up to? Go to a conservative/libertarian site. Then fact-check the shit out of BOTH of them.
Remember, the 1st Amendment was created because of our own pamphleteers putting out blatantly partisan (even seditious) propaganda against King George III. They had ZERO illusions about "objectivity." Now, maybe one or two sources you dig up DO seem to report the news, objectively, or more objectively than others. Add them to your reading/viewing list.
One of the worst things to happen to the public psyche is a century (or more) of believing that the news it was getting was objective news, because all the major networks would say the same thing, even though those networks have been hanging off the balls of government insiders since Day 1. They KNEW FDR was fooling around and never reported it. They KNEW Kennedy was fooling around and never reported it. But what's worse is they'd take CIA or other government-agency leaks as FACT, and tell us that the Soviets were 10 times as big as they were and "Oh Noes! If we don't get another $50 billion for defense, they will invade!" At their PEAK, the Soviet economy was only 1/3 as big as ours. NOW, the Russian economy is 1/15 the size of ours, largely due to a system that STILL doesn't respect civil or property rights of the individual. (See "Professor Kotkin" for more background.)
