My Top 5 News Sources


My Top 5 News Sources

So, everyone gets their news in their own way, right? These are my top five places I check for news. It's a mix of social media, old-school news, and chats with people I know. Each one kinda does something different for me.

First up, TikTok. I usually see breaking news there first. The videos are short and easy to watch. Plus, I get to see what people, reporters, and creators from all over are saying. I know not everything on TikTok is true, but it shows me what's getting people talking. It's where I start before digging into stuff.



Then there's ABC News for when I want something more solid. They're all about the facts and explaining things clearly. If I see something taking off online, I check ABC to see if it's for real and get the full story, you know, the stuff social media skips over.


You might think it's weird, but my dad is another source I trust. He's not CNN, but his life experience is super useful. He puts current stuff in the context of what happened before, tells me how things went down in the past, and shares his own tips. Talking to him helps me think for myself instead of blindly believing everything I read

CBS is another mainstream media place that gives me regular news. It feels pretty straight-up and fair. It keeps me in the loop without all the drama. I especially like it for news about what's going on in the country and big stuff happening around the world.



Fox is in the mix too. It gives me a different take than the others. Even if I don't always see eye-to-eye with them, it's good to be aware of how they're spinning things. Watching Fox helps me spot any slant and reminds me that there's more than one side to every story.



All together, these five spots keep me in the know, make me question stuff, and help me make up my own mind about what's happening.
