I want to make the best effort to find news sources that aren't heavily biased nor full of shit. ProPublica has been recommended. How do you all feel about Reuters, Associated Press, National Public Radio and BBC? Please, recommend any other news sources. Thank you.

How do you all feel about Reuters, Associated Press, National Public Radio and BBC

Recommend them all. They're pretty unbiased and highly credible. I'm also a monthly donor to NPR :)

I tend to just stick to the wire services (Reuters, AP) and fill in with NPR/BBC and some local news stations that aren't owned by Sinclair. I tend to avoid any and all that have clear bias or try to appeal to emotion. I just want the verified facts.

For topics related to technology and privacy, TechDirt is pretty solid. They don't pull punches and are very well researched.

I'll edit this comment if I think of any more specific ones.

this sounds like me. One thing with npr is its really useful when they go back to something from awhile ago with what is known now after no one is talking about it anymore.
