Better to first watch someone who is open about their biases and learn to catch people in lies before graduating to people who try be unbiased and catching them in those lies.

All news outlets just give you the narrative, it's up to you to do the groundwork to find out what's identifiably true and what's not, and make useful judgments on the rest.

I'll say it again: news outlets aren't authorities, they're platforms. Even if you find one that has never lied to your knowledge and gives you timely and incredibly useful information, don't shut off your brain and don't elevate it/them into something infallible.

This need for vigilance, incisive intellect, and an autistic focus on things actually being true before taking them as true is why most people can and always will be easily led three ways from Sunday by various arms of the media. People are lazy, integrity is hard.

I've tried to set up RSS readers/news aggregators many times, and I've always regretted it. There's just too much fucking shit that clogs up the feed - headlines that deliberately try to generate a reaction and get you to click. Even limiting the sources to a select few doesn't help, because even the most esteemed sources will have a good fraction of clickbait-y articles.

Take pic related as an example. "Why girl, 2, had to defend her choice of doll." This is an example of complete trash that I don't want in my feed. Why in the fuck would I ever give a shit about this random child and her fucking doll? "This vault seeks to protect world's most precious data." Fuck off. Which vault? I'm not going to click you shitty story to find out. If this vault were so substantial and important, they wouldn't so vague about it in the headline. Why would I waste my life away reading about random shit that won't have a substantial impact on the world?

Now I'm not sure why I care so much. I don't understand how anybody can spend so much time reading the news. Most of it is mediocre writing and wishy-washy analyses. All the time taken to read articles, compare sources, and come up with my own conclusions I'd rather spend on reading more substantial books and learning deeper truths about the world.

Like every other big media outlet over here, the neoliberal bias is the norm, see VEJA, O Estado de São Paulo, ISTOÉ, G1 or even Carta Capital and any other newspaper/news network. I, being from SC, get my local news from the ClickRBS/A Notícia combo and my international news from Le Monde, Der Spiegel, The Economist and Reuters, the NYT once in a while.
