AP is basically where the news gets its news, so I go there if I'm not looking for commentary or discussion.
Some comedy news programs have developed a level of journalistic integrity that frequently surpasses actual news outlets. John Oliver, the Daily Show, and Jon Stewart's The Weekly Show podcast are really solid, not to mention much less hostile to sanity.
NPR has historically been king for getting me to feel like I actually understand an issue. I've been wary of them ever since whatever record-scratching both-sidesing it was they pulled during the 2016-2020 Trump American Soulrape Era that made me think nazi cock might have npr spit on it. I might look back into them again. They were good for a long time before that, it's been awhile, and I haven't heard about it continuing.
Ne'er shall I find poetry as eloquent in sentiment and imagination on this hallowed Internet. Good night.
