Here's a chart that I've found really helpful. Predictably, it's drawn some criticism, but in my experience, it's been very accurate.
Except they daily mail is well known as a heavily right leaning paper for years. So I wouldn't take that images accuracy to heart
NPR
PBS
AP
Reuters
BBC
The Guardian
The Economist. Despite the insufferable name, it's really quite good. It's one of the only traditional publications that I actively pay for and read weekly.
Yeah, agreed, it's pretty good.
Same here. Outside of if their Fuck Russia coverage (which isn't unearned) or the viewpoint of a noble wanting to actually understand what is going on with the masses, it is pretty good.
https://ground.news/ is a pretty good resource. It’s a news aggregate that also reveals the source’s/writer’s political biases as a percentage of left or right. Also it’s factuality versus editorialization, and who owns the outlet.
Definitely one of the better ones out there.
BBC News. They do a fairly good job of being impartial since both main party voters here in the UK hate it and accuse it of being biased to the opposition!
Isn't it populated in the highest echelons by Tories who ensure the government is given an easy ride?
No it's full of labour lovers!
Leave it to the Brits
I don't really read news in English anymore, but when I did, I subscribed to the economist. I found most other news sites were too biased and ignored most of the world.
"Mainstream Media" : NY Times, Washington Post, L.A. Times, etc.
I get a weekly email from Ground.News and it’s been pretty interesting to see the distribution of sources covering various stories. I’ve never personally mused on the leanings of various sources but it passes the eye test I think, and it helps give a good aggregation of perspectives on a story.
Ground.news They label bias both left, right, ans center. Blindspots, which are things that are only bring shown to one side of the political spectrum. Not sure how effective they are outside the US, tho.
I'm fortunate to live in an area with good local independent news sources like Berkeleyside.
National & international are a big mess. Better to look at lots of different sources. If the Wall Street Journal, Al-Jazeera, and The Grauniad all talk about an event, it probably happened.

I use Google news as an aggregator, with subscriptions to sources I particularly like. Through aggregation I can usually get a sense of if something is truly out of step with "mainstream media." trusted sources for me are The Economist, Financial Times, NPR, and to a lesser extent the Atlantic.
Regardless of source though, it's more important to read news articles critically, than it is to have a particular "trusted" source.
Reuters.
If something's important enough, I end up hearing it through people on discord. I don't actively look for news.
CBC News
NYT. But of course, as with any source, remain critical and check for retractions/corrections.
I don't.
I don't need fear porn in my life.
