So for you, that would be Drudge Report and Breitbart. For a Trump supporter, it would be CNN and Huffington.

The real issue is 77,000 votes in three states. Call your friends. Don't judge, listen. Urge them to vote. Drive them if needed. That will actually make a difference.
Since you asked, my preferred news sources are:
The Economist (slightly left leaning)
Al Jazeera English
The Washington Post (used to be right leaning?)
The Guardian
The CBC (very left leaning)
PBS News Hour (fairly balanced from what I have seen so far)
NHK World
BBC World
and I keep an eye on RT America for shits n giggles.

I tried reading Breitbart, but their "articles" were all opinion pieces with no actual sources and their titles are just obnoxious clickbait. I wouldn't consider them a news source at all. I haven't read the Drudge Report in years. Huffington Post is like "AOL News:lite". It's just as click-baity as Breitbart.

77k votes are the real issue? I disagree. I think the real issue at hand is Trump driving the bus off a cliff to prove that he is in control of the steering wheel. 77k votes are a project for a few years from now.
