The TV news media is largely a consensus organization. They don't differ on much.

The only solution to getting reliable information is to cross-reference various sources.
There is so much info available in books, government-issued pamphlets, blogs, internet commentaries etc. that it is easy to consolidate this information and make an informed decision.

Fox News relies on ad-hominem attacks on individuals, misleading quotes and statements that can easilly be cross-referenced and obnoxious personalities as pundits.

Fox was responsible for the 911=Iraq misinformation and the huge lie that UNSCOM
inspectors were not allowed in by Hussein. They perpetrated the "yellow-cake" garbage too.

There are so many biased remarks made by Fox bobble-heads that you might want to consult your local astrologer as more reliable.

BTW, Hillary is getting support from corporations such as Anchor-Hocking. Corporate
sponsorship is being done for most of the candidates these days. That fact is easilly checked. Pelosi said that she was going to do away with lobbyist funding for campaigns.
How is that working out?

I've noticed that Bill Moyers and Keith Olbermann are not exactly household names compared to the GOP megaphone on most TV news outlets.

As to the veracity of news, can you really trust anything that this corrupt administration has to say? If so, pass the Kool-Aid.
