As editor of The Liberty Daily and owner of Discern Report, I spend more time sifting through headlines than 99.999% of the population. I’m sure there has to be someone out there who does absolutely nothing other than read and/or watch various news sources who might have more hours logged everyday than I do, but I definitely put in the time 365 days per year.
My feed carries over 300 conservative news sites, blogs, and video channels that updates in near-real-time and I read the headlines of about 90% of it daily. That’s literally thousands of headlines that I read with hundreds of the stories scanned and dozens fully read or watched. I have a unique understanding of the biases, styles, and nuances of these outlets and as a result I know who to trust, depending on the topic.
This is extremely important today, perhaps more than ever, with so many important events hitting us incessantly. On today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show, I’ll be going through as many of these outlets as possible with my assessments of the good, bad, and ugly. I’ll also be taking calls and reacting to chats as they come in to keep it as interactive as possible. This will also help me to learn more about other outlets; any time I do a show like this I get word about outlets that I need to add to my feed.
Here’s a sampling in no particular order of a dozen of the outlets I trust and why. Considering I read through so many every day, this list should NOT be construed as encompassing. I could write about 50 outlets I like but that would be too long. Twelve is a good starting point, and I’m sure I’ll talk about many more during my show today. Here’s the abbreviated list…
The Gateway Pundit
When it comes to speed of getting out breaking stories, few can compete with Jim Hoft’s outlet. They’re on the ball with the headlines and they have no problem with getting a little “fringe” from time to time. Sometimes their reporting is very short, but it’s fast so there’s always a tradeoff.
Revolver News
If The Gateway Pundit is often fast and thin, Darren Beattie’s Revolver News is often slow and thick with their original content. But they have the luxury of going in-depth with older important stories because they curate the breaking news from other sources on their homepage so they have the best of both worlds. Their coverage of January 6 is unmatched and their adherence to the MAGA philosophy us unquestionable.
Liberty Sentinel
Alex Newman is the most underrated journalist in America today. He has a sharp mind and a clear vision of the geopolitical threats Americans face today and into the future. If I had $100 million laying around I’d build a news outlet around him because the only thing he lacks is reach.
The Epoch Times
Of all the corporate news outlets out there, The Epoch Times is generally the most trustworthy. They are not afraid to call out Covid vaccines, voter fraud, or any of the other “taboo” topics the vast majority of corporate media sites avoid. An added bonus is that their economic news coverage is lowkey stellar; I would argue they have a better grasp of financial realities than sites like Bloomberg that supposedly specialize in money-talk.
Zero Hedge
Some have a problem with the “allegiances” held by the guys who run Zero Hedge, but I’ve found that it’s pretty easy to distinguish between any self-serving propaganda and the real news they deliver. And if The Epoch Times is stellar at delivering financial news that’s on-point, Zero Hedge does the deep dives some people need to get the full financial picture.
End of the American Dream and The Economic Collapse Blog
Michael Snyder is definitely polarizing. Some love him. Others can’t stand him. He’s an alarmist at times, but he puts in the time to do the research and draw conclusions based on an appropriate combination of facts.
Just The News
John Solomon’s outlet takes great care in being accurate. That’s part of their namesake, which means they will sometimes be a bit slow on delivering the news. On the other hand, they often get scoops. But whether the news is hot-off-the-press or a reiteration of what was being reported the day before, you can trust whatever they publish is going to be real and verified.
Alt-Market
Brandon Smith is a genius. I disagree with him from time to time as his assessments can occasionally be nihilistic, but for the most part he nails it. He’s an economic stallion who adores freedom and is willing to recommend actions the vast majority of journalists would think are too “fringe.” For this reason I read everything he ever posts.
Todd Starnes
It’s funny that in an article about news bias I find myself invoking my own bias about Todd Starnes. The Fox News refugee has really shined as an independent news outlet of his own, and I’m biased because I consider him to be a friend. But like Just the News, he and his team go to great lengths to make sure every word they publish is accurate. They also add the speed that other similar news outlets can’t match. If a story breaks, chances are high that Starnes has a story up within minutes.
Headline USA
If any news outlets deserves to be bigger than they are, it’s Headline USA. They do a fantastic job of getting the most important news patriots need to read, but for whatever reason they don’t get nearly the attention they deserve.
RAIR Foundation
Of all the outlets on today’s list, RAIR is the one that takes the most heat internationally. They’re often accused of being “Islamophobic” because their articles expose Islam, terrorism, and unchecked migration from Muslim nations into Europe. They don’t hide their concerns about these issues and as a result they get negative labels. But I’ve never seen them post anything that’s inaccurate. Being critical does not mean they’re wrong.
Natural News
Mike Adams, who I consider to be a friend, has put together one of the most controversial news sites on the internet. They’ve been cancelled more than other “fringe” sites like Infowars to the point that their links aren’t even allowed on Facebook. Before Elon Musk bought Twitter, you couldn’t post their links there either. But they’re absolutely fearless and tackle topics that others won’t touch. My only complaint is that some of their stories are aged. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing; just because a story broke last week doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be talking about it today.
Again, this list is far from comprehensive. It’s a starting point from which I’ll launch today’s show. We’ll be talking about a lot more news outlets and I’ll take calls from people who will almost certainly offer up outlets I’m not currently watching. Tune in at 5am Pacific on Rumble, or catch me on shortwave at 7490 kHz or 13845 kHz.
It’s becoming increasingly clear that fiat currencies across the globe, including the U.S. Dollar, are under attack. Paper money is losing its value, translating into insane inflation and less value in our life’s savings.
Genesis Gold Group believes physical precious metals are an amazing option for those seeking to move their wealth or retirement to higher ground. Whether Central Bank Digital Currencies replace current fiat currencies or not, precious metals are poised to retain or even increase in value. This is why central banks and mega-asset managers like BlackRock are moving much of their holdings to precious metals.
As a Christian company, Genesis Gold Group has maintained a perfect 5 out of 5 rating with the Better Business Bureau. Their faith-driven values allow them to help Americans protect their life’s savings without the gimmicks used by most precious metals companies. Reach out to them today to see how they can streamline the rollover or transfer of your current and previous retirement accounts.
What do you think of Greg Gutfeld? As well as his co-hosts, Kat Timpf and Tyrus?
King Kong and Tweety Bird belong right where they are,late night TV. Gutfeld’s fake laugh is irritating.
You should make The Z Blog a regular visit and put it on your list.
Great information, Mr. Rucker.
I often find myself screaming at the TV when an establishment media like CNN, CBS, NBC, etc shows clips of a Trump or Biden speech and half of the truth is missing in the Trump speech while half of the lies are missing in the Biden speech.
The ring wing sites are mostly definitely taking a slanted view on the recent Middle East events. For example, the right wing sites are quick to say the hospital rockets were, in fact, Hamas. This goes against some very major facts, such as Israel having multiple posts admitting to it which were quickly deleted. Israel also threatened to bomb the hospital to the point where they even gave specific deadlines. When the deadlines were not met, Israel bombed the hospital. Israel also has bombed other hospitals in Gaza that didn’t get the same hype. Israel has also killed many more people and children that Hamas did 2 weeks ago.
But the way the right wings websites are spinning it, it is “case closed”….the idiotic “terrorists” blew themselves up.
Except we npw know it WAS Hamas’s rocket that malfunctioned and hit the hospital
Please, it hit way out in the parking lot and didn’t even make a dent in the asphalt. Buildings weren’t damaged. There’s no possible way 500 people could’ve been killed unless they were all out in the parking lot at the time. Israel is not going to drop a low impact firebomb on a flipping parking lot. Use your noggin.
The picture I saw showed about a 10-12in hole. If it was a direct hit, it might kill 1 person.
If you provided a factual definition for “right wing”, others would know who and what you are referencing. Alas, it is not on your supplied ignorant racist drone posting sheet. Carry on.
Most of the very popular right wing sites like the TGP and others are obviously controlled opposition, they censor/Ban, worse than the globalist, anyone who disagrees with their narrative. We are in big trouble.
Why is the Liberty Daily not on the list?
Thank you, Mr. Rucker. Valuable information. I usually check most of the sites you listed/talked about. LD is my 1st go to in the morn. That & SBN (Sonlife Broadcasting Network). 😊 Another site I visit is News With Views. They have many contributers. Kelleigh Nelson & Devvy Kidd are 2 of my favorites. There are others I like too.
I watch War Room w/Steve Bannon, Alex Jones & Lindell TV. But people need to filter what they read. And have discernment. Thank you for reading my opinion.

OH
Just found your site. Thanks for the list. Several I was not aware of.
Hoft is an unrepentant homosexual pretending to be a Christian. Revolver comments are full of racists pretending to be Christians. Epoch Times is run by a cult pretending to be Christians. Etc.
Take it all with a grain of salt.
The only news worthy of 100% trust is the good news of God’s word.
Amen ! And you are spot on about Hoft and TGP.
The truth lies in objective documentation, nowhere else. Objective documentation (what he signed) from Trump’s presidency shows he was owned from the day one and that he served the left with his every ACTION (aside from a few performance EOs, all of which were reversed on Xiden’s first day). In short, WE ARE ON OUR OWN.
gateway still censor even basic words, like, “black” – hoft ever disclose the response he got from mccarthy for the j6 vids? – as rucker says, ALL MEDIA IS BIASED > he is media too <
J. D. Rucker is my favorite! What a blessing he is to the body of Christ and all patriots who love America. David Ingram.
I don’t trust anyone. Including you.
I hope you have someone very reliable in case you need a sick day. I absolutely find your editorial work essential to the well informed conservative !!
Great article! Great work!
