  1. Turn off CNN, MSNBC & Fox News. BBC, Al Jazeera, Deutsche Welle -- although they are state run, you'll hear a little bit more neutral coverage of US politics than you will with the US corporate media. Plus you'll also hear information about people and places and things going on in other parts of the world than you would with US-centric news that makes up our major corporate news networks. Stay away from RT (Russia Today) though, it is garbage. Stay far far away from that Putin run modern day Pravda. But here are some non-corporate media that you should be watching:

  12. Below are links to some corporate US media, but I included them just for the fact that some of them stream live 24/7 and if you want to hear a breaking news story, it will often be the best place to turn, depending upon what part of the world it has happened in. It's very hard to bring bias to a breaking news story. It's just about what is happening right at the moment. However, you have to keep in mind certain things when watching breaking news, here is a list:
