[If not “MSM,” what news sources do conservatives use? I want to know what you use. I suspect it’s not Fox News.]
There are a couple I swear by, but there's only one that really counts: the Drudge Report.
There's this conception that Drudge is this right-wing fanatic, which is somewhat incorrect. He's definitely conservative, there's no question about that, but most of his links actually go to CNN, the New York Times, and the Washington Post. He uses just about every single internet news source there is. He's a news aggregator with conservative leanings.
What is conservative about the Drudge Report is not its sources, but its editorial policy. Big stories are usually posted with headlines which present the story from a conservative perspective. As an example, this latest Russian-Trump claim's link is titled "Are corrupt US intel agencies blackmailing Trump with their own dirt cleverly tagged to 'Russian' operatives?" which (unusually) links to Drudge's Twitter which itself links to the CNN story. And smaller stories tend to be those interesting to conservatives and conservative issues.
There's a tabloid quality to the headlines, and there are very rare times he gets something factually wrong, but really the Drudge Report is an indispensable news site. Even liberals able to look past the headlines would find it useful, since the majority of his links direct users to MSM sites. It is particularly useful for breaking news stories.
As I mentioned, there are a couple other sites I use quite a bit for news. One is a conservative blog, which I find helpful for political analysis. There are a number of sites I check regularly for news about ISIS and terrorism, but really the most helpful I've come across is liveuamap. It's a good reference point for what is going on with ISIS at any given moment.
As to the latest "But teh Russians," I have to say, I'm done with it. I don't believe it, and the fact that we keep receiving dribbles of allegations makes me doubt doubt there is any solid proof. It's all anonymous and un-sourced allegations presented by people whose skill set includes making up anonymous and un-sourced allegations. There's no way to prove what is true or not, so at this point it's comes down to whether you trust US intelligence agencies. Since one's position on the issue is a matter of faith, and since that won't change unless real, indisputable evidence gets released, and since I am near certain that will never happen, I can't see any reason to continue discussing the issue.
The last point I feel like contributing to this story is the fact that John McCain is involved in this process does nothing to change my suspicions. I've read enough about him to know he's as connected with and as corrupted by the political system as Hillary Clinton is, and he has very specific reasons for supporting intelligence agencies working to pin a Russian conspiracy on Trump, and these reasons go beyond Trump's comments about McCain being a POW. It's a very long and complicated story I won't delve into here. There are other places you can find such information if you're interested.
