    There isn't a news outlet I currently trust. The only way I find to consume news is to read from multiple outlets on the same subject and double check what they say.

    That's not how it should be though. Too many news outlets are only interested in eye catching headlines and pushing agendas rather than giving us balanced viewpoints and facts.

    ‘I’m searching for a news outlet that offers fair, accurate and unbiased reporting‘

    ‘Read the Daily Mail mate’

    RT (Russia Today ) Is a decent watch as it covers a lot of news that our main stream ignore, For example the other week it reported a quite big demonstration in London that our main news ignored and I had no idea had happened and yet on checking it had!
    It comes with an obvious Russian influence but as with Al Jazeera it can give a different view,

    I fear you’re right Aaron. The BBC has really gone downhill these last few weeks so much it’s really starting to grate.

    The Daily Mail is the most read news in the UK, Speaks its mind which upsets the left but is usually fairly accurate in news reporting, Give it a try

    Weekends i have recently been trying the Financial Times, the bankers bible.
    Some good opinion and culture(books/music) pieces in there.
    For some reason though they are not keen on brexit.
    Not at all.

    *ps when i click on the online telegraph it offers £1 for a 3 month trial.
