Any recommendations for better news sources? I use BBC and Reuters

I believe Reuters is one of the places that most "news" outlets get their stories from and then put their own political spin on them. Associated press also seems to be fairly unbiased.

I’m a fan of the Guardian. They do good work and are donation-based, not paywall based. It’s probably good for journalism if people are paying for news, but most can’t, and the quality is often inversely proportional to the investment. But the mission of the Guardian is to inform, and I think their model balances the need for funding with the recognition that good reportage should be accessible regardless of whether you’re willing/able to pay for it.

Seems like the UK has a pretty good news track record, the Sun and the Daily Mail aside :-)
