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.

    Can you define corporate bias? I’m not disagreeing but it just sounds a bit vague. That the outlets themselves are (owned by) corporations?

    There’s plenty public media in most countries, possibly not corporate depending on your definition.

      As in they are usually aligned with corporations and have certain biases associated with that. For instance, the BBC and DW tend to be pro-Israel, while Al Jazeera avoids criticism of the Qatari government. They are still very reliable news sources, they’re not spouting off nonsense like that of Fox News or the Telegraph. Everybody has biases, no one can truly be “unbiased”, but I’d like to read more independent news outlets that are not backed by big corporations.

        Thanks for clarifying.

        BBC and DW tend to be pro-Israel, while Al Jazeera avoids criticism of the Qatari government.

        But these aren’t corporations. I think I misunderstood what you mean - not news outlets biased towards corporations, but news corporations biased towards something?

          Yeah, maybe pro-corporate isn’t the right word for it. I will amend my question
