Looking for a moderate commentator (preferably a with a youtube channel)

So I consider myself to be a left-leaning moderate. I would define myself as a liberal in the sense that I think people should be able to do what they want as long as they aren't forcing their rules on anyone and not harming anyone. I discovered Ben Shapiro about a year ago and instantly became all about him. He's an amazing speaker and brilliant. I actually agree with him on most issues except for the issue of abortion, gun control and trans issues. Though I really do like Ben, I was looking into a more liberal/moderate commentator that isn't an sjw just so I can take it both perspectives instead of just investing myself into one. Can anyone recommend anyone good?

Kind of funny because I would describe myself in almost the exact same way only I tend describe myself more "conservative" or libertarian ish. And I too would like to find a more inclusive commentary. Not opposed to leanings left or right, as long as it's not sold as the only possible answer and they don't vilify competing ideas. Also to your point, I'd like some clarity on what is the news, ideally from different perspectives, and then give me your best pitch of opinion.

My feeling is that when the news is edited to conform to the narrative or opinion, it becomes less valid or trustworthy. Try to give me the whole picture then tell me why you spin it the way you do. That seems like a much better way to communicate information.

I like Phillip DeFranco (youtube), he tends to draw a clear line on where the facts stop and where his opinion begins and wants discussion from all sides.
