I wonder what news sources are neutral and impartial. For example, the BBC are well regarded (by most, not all), but are not the impartial reporters which their reputation claims. They are pro-monarchy; they are often a part of the news creation rather than external observers; they frequently make factually incorrect statements about internal politics such as devolution; are pro UK union; etc. I think people tend to consider left leaning or liberal news sources as more credible (such as The Guardian or Al Jezeera or Channel 4 News), but they are not impartial - albeit arguably less sensationalist. I am not defending tabloid news, but I don't think truly credible news is easily accessible.
