    That was the first name that came to my mind upon reading "best broadcaster." That, and Les Nessman. ;)

    As god as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

    Wild ones can, I have seen it. Farm raised fat ones, especially ones
    purchased in the Cincinnati area, probably not so much. :D

    I got a subscription to Ground.news early last year. It's been rather nice t
    see where the biases sit.

    I found a site that was good about ranking the news sources. I hope I bookmarked it as it has been a while since I felt I needed it!

    It had ratings for leans left/right, moderate, and also fake/conspiracy.

    This sounds like Ground News (at least I think that's what it was called).

    I've been on the hunt for something similar, but I've upgraded my criteria. I would like to be able to filter news so that I get international news sources first, and would also like to filter out certain keywords or topics. (Like, for example, I need a mood cleanse and am interested in state political topics but don't want Trump-focused news -- on my own I'm going to get it anyway because I'm in JD Vance's state.)

    Not partisan news, just don't need to hear anymore about Dear Leader.

    In this case, it only listed a rating for a source... it wasn't a place
    where you could read news. I would go there after hearing someone claim
    that "XXX" source is "lefists/conservative," just because they didn't like
    what they reported, and then see what how it was rated there.

    IMHO, the ratings on the site were more accurate than the claims.
