I could use some help finding independent media sources
I've got a question for you guys, maybe you can give me hand. I've been looking for true independent news sources online. A simple Google search for "Canadian Independent News" brings up nothing but socialist news sources and obviously left wing sources. I'm looking for some news sources (podcasts, blogs, and news websites) that are truly independent. Independent in that they come to their opinions by researching the issues they report on and come to their own conclusions without preconceived notions and leaving their personal biases at the door when they write or produce their media.
I've grown tired of the CBC, CTV, Global and all the other mainstream media sources who seem to only give part of the story, often leaving out critical data from their writing or other news program. I'd personally prefer something that is done by independent people, preferably who do their blog, website or podcast in their spare time and not as a career. In most cases I've found that people who produce news media for a living tend to over time gain some biases and they stop digging into issues and get lazy with their work since they need to pump out media in volume.
Any help finding true independent sources of news and political information would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks Guys!

Unbiased news? Really, there isn't such a thing, as everyone has an agenda of some sort. And remember that the news is there to keep the commercials seperated, nothing else.
As in reading history, the best thing to do is read widely and much, hoping the bioases cancel themselves out.
I suggest you try to get a news source or two from off of the continent. Try the Aussies, or the BBC, even Deutschewelle in english.
Thanks Karen and AD, I agree with you AD that most news has some kind of agenda but I've found some news sources for the USA that comment on politics and current events from strictly factual point of view. I'd rather get whole facts than just the partial facts we get from say the CBC.
Karen, than you for your service to Canada and thank your husband for fighting for our freedom!
God Bless!
"I've found some news sources for the USA that comment on politics and current events from strictly factual point of view."
Interesting. What are those?
Hey, still waiting for links to those sources.
Recent developments prove otherwise....
Ah, turns out they have agenda/bias as well. That bites. I wonder if we could start a no spin network and make money? Probably not....
Yeah, in hine sight it was rather naive of me to think that was possible, everyone has opinions and they come out no matter how hard you try not to let them out....You were right, get news from several sources and take the best and leave the rest :-)
I have a fine collection of links here:

I believe in seeing the news from all sides, not from a distinctly conservative or liberal viewpoint. In fact, I dropped the right/left paradigm from my thinking years ago, and focus on seeing the truth of the matter as it is.
