For international stuff I mostly follow the BBC and Al Jazeera. More locally there are a few pretty cool news sources in my area.
Reuters, AP, NYT, WP, and to a small extent, Ground News. I filter for high factuality. My viewing is rated as slightly skewing left, but this is caused by so many Right sources are not credible sources. Known lies are not worth my time. My biggest gripe about Ground news is that to be balanced, I must waste time on sources that are not credible. Sadly, I can listen to RT or certain USA Right leaning politicians after a little time, and hear the same news.
I forgot FP Foreign Policy and the Economist.
For what it's worth, I would say those sources mostly lean center right.
I recently found out about Axios which does short bullet point coverage of just the interesting/most important parts of stories. It seems to be a bit biased liberal overall, but being able to get the highlights without wasting time reading all the fluff is pretty convenient.
Aren't thous bullet points useless if you know that the writer have biased opinions and can just misinterpret the source because of their views? Even if unintentionally
Less biased than some other media sources I've seen and makes it more likely that I'll read it. Since the opinions are clearly marked it's possible to skip them as well and just read the facts as presented. I just keep it in mind as I read and it works for me.
Al Jazeera, Telasur, and CBC for the most part, though no where is perfect and all have their blindspots/weaker areas. Plus a bunch of assorted other sources on a lesser basis (BBC, guardian, independent, fox if I want a peek into
brain) and hexbear news megas of courseI’m paying around $50/month USD for news & analysis, with my Patreon & Substack subscriptions being the biggest chunks of it. Obviously a lot of people can’t afford to do that.

None of that money is for getting around corporate media soft paywalls, because 1) I have tools for getting around those and 2) they don’t need my money and 3) most of their content is capitalist-biased & imperialist-biased schlock. No, the money all goes to non-profit and independent media.
I usually find it one way or another because I can count on people I know to talk about it, though I never seek it out.
lemmy, ycombinator, arstechnica in that order. I prefer news aggregators over individual sites.
