The one that agrees with him. When I look at the trajectory of mainstream print and network on American politics in the last 6 months particularly, since Trump became a threat to the cosy left wing establishment, it's been a one way street. You have to look at independent out of the loop sources to see or hear the truth. Yes, Bogie, like your new source, the wonderful Breitbart. They're not biased at all. Quote:Upheaval at Breitbart News as Workers Resign and Accusations Fly
As a proudly renegade voice of the populist right, Breitbart News has long delighted in bedeviling liberals and establishment Republicans alike, emerging in recent years as one of the nation’s leading conservative media outlets.
But in an ironic twist, Breitbart, a news and opinion website that welcomed the rise of Donald J. Trump as an outsider candidate, is now facing a problem similar to the one roiling the Republican Party it likes to torment: a scathing internal dispute, with Mr. Trump at its center.
Several top executives and journalists at the site have resigned in the last week, saying the organization has turned into a shill for the Trump campaign and failed to support Michelle Fields, a Breitbart reporter who accused Mr. Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, of grabbing and shoving her at a Florida rally last week.
Ms. Fields reported the episode to the police, and a journalist for The Washington Post, Ben Terris, identified Mr. Lewandowski as the person who grabbed her. The Trump campaign has denied Ms. Fields’s account, and Breitbart, after initially requesting an apology, later published an article casting doubt on whether Mr. Lewandowski was involved.
In a telephone interview, Ms. Fields, who also resigned on Monday, said that she “felt like my employer was working with the Trump campaign to assassinate my character.”
“They were more interested in protecting Trump and coordinating with him on a message than they were about finding out the truth,” said Ms. Fields, who is 28. Messages left with Breitbart executives on Monday were not answered, and the site’s spokesman was among the employees who quit.
The uproar entwines the growing concerns about violence at Mr. Trump’s rallies — protesters have been attacked, and reporters ejected — with the squabbling that has erupted among right-leaning media organizations over Mr. Trump’s improbable political rise.
It also offers a glimpse into the growing pains at Breitbart, which began as a cousin of the Drudge Report and has expanded into a broader, if still ideologically driven, news operation with journalists in London, Los Angeles and on the campaign trail.
The present site retains the tabloid-style, shoot-from-the-hip mentality of its outspoken founder, Andrew Breitbart, who died in 2012. But employees who left in recent days said that Breitbart’s unabashed embrace of Mr. Trump, particularly at the seeming expense of its own reporter, struck them as a betrayal of its mission. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/15/business/media/upheaval-at-breitbart-news-as-w...
