Hi Fernando, love your book and blog. What sources of news do you trust and follow for international and US news? Same question for economic information. Thanks -Rick

Hi Rick. Thanks, glad you liked my book.
I try to read several news outlets so as to gather information as objectively as possible. Every news source has its own agenda, some more noticeable and more extremist than others. This chart gives you an idea of what to expect.

Usually I start with a news widget in my cell phone that shows me headlines from various outlets including CNN, AP, CBS, Slate, Fox and Yahoo News just to mention some.
In general I balance CNN, BBC, Fox, but also check RT and Al Jazeera along with local media sources from wherever it is that I am. I can’t say I trust much any of them. It’s the collection of them which I try to look through to learn the truth of whats going on out there.
You have to know what to expect from each one, know their bias. That way its easier to distil the actual news.
