Trust in Media

Here's a comparison of media sources by trustworthiness across different social groups.  I think I'd put Al Jazeera and BBC at the top of my list, although I prefer the non-American version of Al Jazeera when English is available from it.  I have found Mother Jones and Huffington Post pretty reliable; Daily Kos and Think Progress have some useful stuff.  In general, I distrust American media now, as most of it is propaganda meant to flatter corporate owners.  I prefer venues with a variety of viewpoints to monofocal ones, because anyone with an ulterior interest or party line makes me suspect they're cropping the data to fit it.

This doesn't even cover the sources that I know. But well, it's purposed to depict the most common known news sources that are used in Western hemispheres...
If one doesn't mind about languages, this one often is pretty interesting. They mostly pick like contents of other newspapers and official releases together, but what they make out of it you can always find in the source articles as it is stated. No NWO-stuff, no conspiracy theories. Just some links out of reality.
RT (Russia Today) and ANNA-News from Azerbaijan are also worth a listen, at least if it's about war and if you want to get acquainted with a second opinion. About "playing drama" I don't know, but if it's there, those people from the East play it a lot more subtile than Western popular media and they come up with a lot of claims which later turn out to be facts.
Western media - just for getting an overview what happened.
