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.

    PBS is decent, if written to a bit of a dumbed-down level at times while their NPR counterpart is better with that. Ars Technica was originally an excellent tech site, but has broadened its repertoire quite a lot over the past decade - although it doesn’t focus so much on the things most mainstream media sites cover, there’s still routinely some overlap.

      NPR is not better than PBS. I am glad NPR is there, but they are NOT reliable. They allow corporate interest groups to come on and bold faced lie without challenge. Plus they are scared of their own shadow, at least if the conservatives are around.

      The BBC is better than NPR, but they have their own problems, and are probably getting worse with the recent tory purge over the movie about the israeli occupation last year was it?
