Non-partisan business news sites?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Bloomberg and Financial Times are my go-tos. Both provide great in-depth business coverage and are not very partisan. FT has an international perspective which I find pretty helpful. 

Are you on fucking crack? Bloomberg and FT are SO partisan it's pathetic, worse so than the WSJ. I sub to WSJ, NYT, FT, Bloomberg, and WaPo - they all fucking suck.

 

Bloomberg nah. FT maybe but they don’t really provide broad news coverage. 
 

AP is probably the most neutral. I can’t really blame CNN for morphing into the NYT talkies given the current state of this country but I am a bit left of center and an biased as well 

 

Curious why you say WSJ is in the dumpster (hopefully you’re staying away from the political Opinion articles) because their business, finance and deals reporting is very good. I also use Bloomberg, FT and Institutional Investor in addition to some industry specific sources (for my coverage area) and a bunch of morning newsletters. I know some peers that like The Information for their tech news. I don’t think MarketWatch is taken that seriously by institutional investors, seems like a mix of basic re-reporting and junky opinion articles for the layman reader

 

IMO their news section is heavily biased towards the left. It's been all about COVID "Orange Man Bad" recently. I'm conservative so I appreciate the opinion pages. However, I'd like a non-partisan news site.

Thanks for the tips though.

The WSJ is a center-right newspaper with a far right opinions section. If that is too far "to the left" of you, perhaps you are the one out of step with reality.

MarketWatch posts opinion pieces on how to overthrow capitalism. It's a joke. Stopped checking them a long time ago. 

Reuters used to be one of the least biased, but it's going woke recently as well. Barrons is still good. Easier to make a mix of FT/Bloomberg/WSJ/non-Western sources so that biases hedge themselves out. 

Never discuss with idiots, first they drag you at their level, then they beat you with experience.
 

WSJ is probably one of the better non partisan outlets.  While they may be slightly right of center, they provide much more balance than other outlets. Investors business daily is conservative.  Bloomberg is liberal.  
Instead of trying to limit your news source to viewpoints that support your biases, why don’t you just read them all and form your own opinions.  
 

im assuming this is being posted today because WSJ did a piece on hunter biden.

 

He's most likely referencing opinion pieces written by the WSJ's Editorial Board. Personally, those have turned me off from the WSJ as a non-partisan source in recent months. It also does not help that the WSJ is owned by Rupert Murdoch. To prevent any accusations of partisan bias, I would point out that the same can be said of news sources on both sides, the OP specifically referenced the WSJ.

I'm not pretending to be a moderate here, and the WSJ news section has a pretty clear bias. I've got informed stances on political issues so I would prefer to just read the facts.

Are there that many people salty about the SALT deductions here?

You’re not pretending to be a moderate. What you are doing is pretending other moderates are biased (Clearly because you don’t like when your opinions are challenged by facts). 
 

If you think that the WSJ news section opining that they think the opinion section should have better journalistic standards and a stricter adherence to fact checking is evidence of bias you maybe should just hang out on Facebook instead. 

 

Yeah, that's the problem. It's so hard to find fact-driven analysis nowadays. Just show me the data.

 

You are way too concerned about the political leanings of a business news source. Unless they are ranting on non stop about the evil liberals like certain programs on Fox News, I will get some business information from from Fox.    I will watch Neil Cavuto on Fox even though he may have a conservative bias.  I have no interest at all in watching Lou Dobbs.

 

Hey man, I'm just trying to go a day without seeing any news about

1) COVID cases without any sort of a reference to fatality rates, deaths, or hospital capacity (its been how many months?)

2) Global warming / Green tech (nuclear is the only viable option and global warming isn't an existential crisis)

3) Racism in a country where affirmative action and diversity councils are blatantly discriminatory (so long MLK)

Their news division pulled the same stunt that NYT did.

Edit: A good read on the climate scare

It's crazy how hard it is to get away from blatant bias nowadays. Before 2016, I don't think it was this hard.

I wish the news was more balanced and less partisan. It would be nice to just read the financial and non-financial news on a policy level that is extremely straight forward and leaning away from bias. An interesting college startup that I found is Civil, which covers issues with quotes from the right and left. It's in it's early stages, but it would be nice to see it grow and for other news' sources to follow their format. 

 

Not going to talk about the politics of WSJ but I thought that they're COVID reporting has been an absolute disaster. It's Cases Cases Cases with them when we have learned that not all cases are equal, not every case is a case, and what not. They have trumpeted a ton of fear with COVID that I have just been shaking my head every time I read a story on it.

The only news piece they did that was optimistic during this crisis was the one a month back on Operation Warp speed which is supposed to have a vaccine out by December (that's supposedly the Goal and Pfizer claims they'll meet it). Other than that, it's been ridiculous doom and gloom from them. Very very disappointed with their Covid Reporting (mostly because I come from a family with a medical background and my dad disputes their BS daily today basically) 

 

It's a real problem you know. I for one stopped reading Breitbart News because of how far-left it's become. Now I'm back to having fun with my Aryan homies

 

Does one really need to find non-partisan news sources that badly? 

I felt this way for the past 6 months, and my thinking has evolved to care less about how "objective" articles are, and just read as much as I can what "both sides" are saying. Like a bear and a bull argument. The OFF section here has gotten super political and I don't think people really want to hear the other side to their arguments. It's important to know the biases of your sources, but those biases shouldn't be a filter.  

Having an opinion that you have conviction in based purely on news sources seems ridiculous. I'd recommend trying to figure out what matters (can it be measured?) and learn to read studies. We don't promote enough of the academic research/data that is out there (on almost every issue/etc), and just let biased people package and sell it to us as part of a business model that survives on being inflammatory. 

I'd reiterate that geo/political issues ARE NOT SIMPLE - you can't boil things down to a single study or data feed, and philosophy matters a lot too. But don't oversimplify things or allow any new source with a positive profit margin to do it for you. 

 

Fair point. Definitely a poorly considered question. It seems the (now largely publicly traded) for-profit entities use rhetoric as opposed to evidence and logic to argue their points. Twitter & substack seem the best place to triangulate a good position, but damn if Twitter is not a testy area. Cannot avoid bias but I wish there were more like Thomas Sowell out there. So much bull****.

 

The best are going to be very expensive industry related publications. For example, in the news amalgamator/highlights produced by Factset are ok. The Markets magazine published by Bloomberg is pretty good (and available for free on a terminal). The publications within S and P global are decent too. All of these are likely inaccessible to you (except the Markets magazine), unless you work for a bank. The news divisions of the FT, Economist, and WSJ are quite fair. Opinion pieces in the WSJ skew conservative and Economist can go both ways (though liberal professors describe the economist as "conservative"). If you are the type of person who thinks the WSJ is a left wing rag, then you may prefer a publication like the National Review or the Federalist. Neither publish business news, but they may be worth reading. If you think that the FT, Economist, and WSJ are way too right wing, then you may need to read the Huffington Post. 

 

Thank you. This is the most helpful one here.

I've used WSJ since that's what my professors recommended. I'm not sure if the WSJ hired a bad crop of reporters lately or what, but even its left leaning stuff has been basic and stupid. Like "Here's How Renters Not Paying Their Rent is Bad for Landlords" or "Here's Me Explain Climate Change without Discussing the Interglacial Period or the Milankovitch Cycle." Absurd for $40 a month.
