US media has dazzlingly became op-eds instead of journalism so I decided to set up Google News with many internal sources which stay away from opinions and focus on facts. Surprisingly, one of the quality source I found was Al Jazeera! Here's my Google News sources:
- BBC News
- The Guardian
- Bloomberg
- Al Jazeera America
- Associated Press
- Reuters
- The Economist
- NPR
- Wall Street Journal
- ABC News
- CNBC
- The Atlantic
I'd to forcefully turn of New York Times, Washington Post, Poltico, Fox News, CNN etc to reduce noise.

- rtpg 10y agoI like WSJ's reporting and am subscribed, but I would recommend against the WSJ's editorial section. The mental gymnastics present in it (especially during the Trump campaign) are mind-boggling. It's painful and frustrating, and seem to have absorbed nothing about the politics (or economics) of the past 40 years.
- ericzawo 10y agoThey certainly do know how to tow a line or two on the editorial section, but I can't stop reading them for their business journalism. They are number one in that department for a reason.

- CodeTheInternet 10y agoIt also helps to know what each source's "slant" is so you can identify it when reading articles. If you read CNN, you know it is biased to the democrats. If you read Fox News, you know it is biased to the republicans. Learn where your other sources lean too. Read opposing views as well as your own. Don't simply dismiss an idea or viewpoint because you disagree with it.
