For what it's worth, MSNBC is kinda left leaning, but I have found that they miss the mark way too often, and I just cannot watch them on a regular basis. They just are not accurate enough.
This is how corporate news controls the news you get to see.
Is this any different from Sinclair or FOX?
Yes, it is way different from Sinclair.
I prefer independent news - Democracy Now, Humanist Report, The Young Turks, and yes a variety of foreign sources (al jazeera, RT) for alternate views.
I watch the Young Turks, but they have their own, quite obvious, slant. I suspect that all news services do. It would be a mistake to rely on any one of those sources you named as supplying objective truth. It might be that their slant matches your own proclivities. But let's turn your question around. Is what the Young Turks does all that different from what Fox does?

Re: The Topsy Turvey World Of Modern News
Jones latest commentary appears to show a side of him that is puzzlingly honest and genuine, however. He actually believes in a globalist agenda and comes across as honestly defending the hypothesis.

I judged this presentation with an admitted bias...I assumed that Jones was not simply full of it...he actually believes what he broadcasts
When Jones got sued for some of the BS he invents/relays and passes off as news, he has testified in court that he was just playing a character. Apparently, he is also playing you.
Who really gives a crap if Jones believes something? Does that belief make it likely that he is correct? Are you just swallowing yet another brand of snake oil?
