ArtieSrealclearpolitics.com and it's associated sites reached through the ribbon at the top of the page.
It's a aggregator from a variety of sites, left, center and right. Very well curated mix.

flashguyI don't actually go to any of those, but they seem to come to me, and I read them. I depend a lot on SF, too.

parabellumThis thread illustrates the problem with getting truthful news these days. Of the people who
don't behave like baby chicks, beaks agape, heads to the sky, waiting for mama to regurgitate the leftist/government propaganda from CNN, MSNBC,
et al; for those who are aware of the utter falsity of the "official" mainstream message, I am of the opinion that the majority of those people rely of FoxNews as their primary source of news and they do not actively seek out other sources. Some of them don't even know where to begin, because they don't have a trustworthy resource such as this forum to point them in the right direction.
This is why FoxNews is still relevant, but, while I was no fan of Carlson's style and had lately come to cease watching his program, it would be a mistake to think that I take any joy from his departure; quite the opposite, actually, and as a result, I have refrained from tuning into Fox at all since Carlson's firing was announced. I still go to their website because this is a time-efficient way to triage news items, and if one thinks that Fox is no longer worthwhile at all, they should take a look at the mainstream alternatives, MSNBC and the like. Absolutely nauseating, the degree of deception, propaganda, fantasy and outright lies.
I
want to have a TV source to turn to, and not youtube or rumble or bitchute or wherever. Like all of you, I grew up in the era of TV, newspaper and radio as the only true media. Newspapers have become antiquated and radio is a mess, but television offers a constant stream of reliably-time programming and I am disgusted that we've come to this.

SigSentryAl Yankovic should do a song called "Podcasts Killed the Legacy Media Star". Current events find me, be it political, economic, or cultural, and I usually have to filter to stay sane.

220-9erI don't trust any of them for accuracy, for a variety of reasons.
I first check any of the biggies, just to see if there is any sort of major story since I last looked.
Things like earthquakes, major plane crash, major political event, etc. After I find something of interest, I do my own research from that point on as they all have their own bias, both left and right, that makes the details they present mostly meaningless.
In fact there is so much clickbait that the article's title is often in contradiction with the text right below it.
Like it or not, you have to develop some skills at doing searches to have any chance to get to what's really happening.

Ryanp225I just go outside and look around. I trust nothing that I read anymore as everything has an agenda.
If anything serious happens I'm sure I'll hear about it eventually.

This is of zero use to the conversation and you will kindly avoid this kind of thing.

xd45manI'm being honest when I say I get my news from here, patriots.win, Lowder with Crowder, and Rekieta Law.
I don't know if you can consider any of those "news" but I get the current events. I know some will say these are all "far right" sources, but that's the beauty of choice.

RogueJSKLots of suggestions so far for other conservative news sources, but if you're looking for something more centric, try
www.apnews.comThe Associated Press (AP) is a non-profit news gathering agency employing a vast network of independent journalists, and it's where the majority of networks and news agencies source much of the facts of their news stories, especially with overseas stories, before these other companies go on to put their own spin on the story by substituting choice buzzwords, inserting opinions, omitting inconvenient facts, etc. (You'll notice stuff like
"Source: Associated Press" or
"AP contributed to this story" attached to the bylines or footnotes for most news stories.)
On the political spectrum, it's pretty centeric, or slightly center-left.
Getting it straight from the AP's horse's mouth gets you closer to the factual, neutral news of old than just about any other online news source I've found.
Overseas news agencies are another good option. Stuff like the UK's BBC or Daily Mail, or Germany's Deutsche Welt. These overseas sources have their own biases, but it's generally not as pronounced as the heavily bifurcated/targeted American news options. Many of these will be center-left or center-right, rather than hard left or hard right. It's also nice to be able to read about politically-sensitive American news stories without as much coloration from the American media. The overseas reporting can be more detached in cases like that.
And regardless of the political leanings of a news source, don't stick to just one source and treat it as gospel. Seek out multiple sources - including not just those that are heavily in line with your own political beliefs - and draw your own conclusions from what you find.
