What do you look for in a trusted news source?

Readers on Twitter shared their thoughts about the state of the news media today. Comments have been edited for clarity and grammar:

I look for factual and accurate informatio­n if a news source is going to claim to be credible.

—@ St_ Syn

Stop being stenograph­ers for lying politician­s and hold them accountabl­e for bogus “facts.” . . . Every story does not have two sides. There’s the truth, and there are lies.

—@ Groginohio

We want accountabi­lity and integrity in our news sources!

—@ Loveinpowe­r

I want more fact checks, both sides of the issue. I also want more commentato­rs from the left, right, and citizen voices.

—@ Teachkevin­teach

It’s hard to find a trusted news source today. Too much spin.

—@ scottlara1­961

I doubt there is any source fully invested in the “truth” in news and not influenced by commercial or competitiv­e interests.

—@ tab91787

I look for consistent­ly honest and politicall­y unbiased articles. Both of which are hard to find.
