    This is really sickening. The talking heads on all these channels are all blabbering and no one is saying anything. Iran is threatening to close passage in the Strait of Hormuz and no one is giving it coverage. CNN was once known as a leader in covering world news. Politics 24/7 and this week promises to be completely nauseating. Football can’t get here fast enough.

    Back in the day you could get real world news from the BBC but these days the BBC is essentially CNN.

    Internet. Most news sites i read have international section, Middle East...and so on. 

    Speaking of International, is "Canadian Susan" the crazy bride to be getting any coverage south of the border?

    Google her if you want a laugh. Asked each guest for $1,500, then had social media meltdown after most declined, almost all of them.

    The "Gotcha Quote" driven news channels have become reality tv shows and all their hosts and ongoing guests are their paid actors.

    If you really want to see world news, I'd recommend PBS.  Yes, you're going to tell me it's liberal and there's no credibility.  However, I've seen PBS cover the news before and it actually reports on a lot of issues in various countries.  I don't even watch PBS, quite frankly.  I just know that it'll fill the niche you want.

    Some of the most trustworthy global news sources include Wall street journal, BBC, Economist, Reuters, PBS, NPR and Associated press according to University of Missouri journalism institute.  Oddly, americans tend to trust british sources more than US sources.  Also people tend to trust local newspapers far more than social media.  Best sources endorse Society of professional journalists code of ethics.

    TV news has become so politically divided it is just UNWATCHABLE.

    Doesn't matter if you are left or right, liberal or conservative.

    It's a complete waste of time and energy to watch ANY of it PERIOD.

    Turn ALL that sh!t off, EVERYTHING, and live a better life.

    TRUTH!!!

    Thanks everyone, I want to to see what else is going on in the world besides American politics. I had been watching BBC World News Tonight up till Trump got elected, then they too, became obsessed with American politics.

    Future historians may see Trump era as a dark period of paranoia.  Truths are accused of being fake news and journalists are called enemies of the people.  Internet social media is less trustworthy than older media such as newspapers and television.

    But ignoring media news would make people more ignorant.  Afterall, science, school and mainstream media are still traditional institutions of truth.  Also people still trust journalists much more than politicians.

    NGK Tokyo is a great feed. Sputnik Moscow if you wish to read Russia's official position. Nepalian times Kathmandu pretty much as neutral a feed you can find. It and feed Tehran times f÷d. Am Jazeera the Sunni position. American news feeds are glorified tabloid journalists sensationalizing and exxagerating what is real and what is just bull what.
