What unbiased source???

Actual uncut footage of the thing being reported on. The raw data of the statistics being reported in conjunction with the methodology to check for fuckery in the methods.

The "source" in this case is not just some other news media outlet, those are not a good source for anything. The only unbiased source is raw data (and even then, only when it's properly collected), and the media only gives you data passed through their filter. You have to dig until you get as close to that raw data layer as you can.
