I'm tired of KSL's clickbait headlines, I'm tired of Deseret News' slant, and the Trib isn't really doing it me either. Any other good local sources?
Where do you get your local/national news?

I try to do a mix. 1 source = 1 bias
The more I observe sources that disagree the more likely I am able to form my own opinion that even slightly resembles truth.
That's why I'm friends with Brian and Chad, whatever they say I just dial it back a notch and I'm good. 😄 🥴

The comment section on KSL is where I get my truth. 👨🏻🎓
I can't handle the amount of stupid in those comments. There are good nuggets on occasion.. but for the most part it's proof on non-intelligent life forms.

I quit KSL news after my comments kept getting rejected. They’ll censor factual comments made in effort to help people.
I made a comment regarding some carbon monoxide poisonings at some apartments in SLC, trying to hopefully educate at least a couple people, but it got denied. Yet they let every crazy person who’s never even dealt with HVAC equipment voice their opinion.

Other than here, I read Twitter, other forums and sometimes even Facebook 
On twitter I follow the local news stations, and it's hard for them to censor comments unless they delete and repost the same news again or limit replies. Other people I follow are my congressman, senators, the governor, my city, police for the city, and random media people that I probably am not going to hear from otherwise. If I find someone is annoying I unfollow. Facebook is only looked at because I get curious about what businesses are coming in and I like to be aware when Karen is posting that one of my kids is speeding through the neighborhood...

I agree that using multiple sources gets you the best overall view and more truthful understanding.
During my long commute, NPR is on 90% of the time.
Still subscribe to both the Deseret News and Tooele Transcript (for the ultra local stuff.)
On line subscription to Washington Post.

I've "ignored" any traditional "news" sources for at least the last 10ish years. I've amazingly survived in that time. The "news" is a waste of time due to bias
I've found it's much better to be un-informed rather than mis-informed. Life is much more enjoyable outside of the programming.

I listen to talk radio for local and national news.
My routine is AM 860 on the way to the jobsite, a podcast of Rod Arquette before lunch, Audible book after lunch and usually music on the way home.
Other local media is Take 2 podcast, Gun Radio Utah and I try to catch Glen mills on Sunday morning. Channel 4.
Oh, and Twitter.
I might need to step back soon and be less informed/un informed, as it makes my blood pressure rise.
