Ideally ones that provide RSS/Atom feeds. Currently, I’m following the BBC, CBC, The Guardian, DW, and Al Jazeera, and they provide reliable information, but there is always a bit of a bias. For instance, BBC and DW are quite pro-Israel, while Al Jazeera are rarely critical of the Qatari government. Are there any independent news outlets that have less of bias w/ RSS feeds?

edit: Wording has been changed a bit. One more thing, I’d rather have news sources that are not US-centric. As somebody from Hong Kong, I’d also like to ask if there are any good ones that cover the South China + Southeast Asia region, since SCMP was bought out by Alibaba a few years ago.

    I find fact based source sites like Reuters the best for this. If you want to understand exactly what is speculation and what is known about a story, there isn’t much that I have found to do this better. There is however some leaning towards the effects on stock markets, but I find the core bias well managed.

      I read reuters every day if I can, and they are pretty good for world events and business news especially.

      I’ve noticed some bias creeping in with candidates like El Sayed and Mandami and the like. But they have some really good reporting sometimes. They actually cut off US users in like 2024 or so, a paywall, just for us that I’m aware, but have since removed it.

      The guardian helps round out what reuters leaves out. Then check The Intercept and Propublica regularly for investigative stuff. I need more but everything else I used to read online is paywalled now it seems.
