None.
None are good at anything. Some are good at some things. All really suck at most things.
Economics of "news" are in a bad shape, been spiraling out of control for about 15 years, there's no going back to "good one stop shop for news"
Instead see what the good parts of each source is and what good it will do to you. A lot of bullshit and marketing will still reach you.
But as long as you know what you want (need to be more specific than "news") you can mentally filter out more garbage and let in more useful, creative, thought provoking content.
My sources in 2020: HN's "new" page ( where i found this post) , subreddits of interest to me, people i look up to on twitter, very niche newsletters.

- sandspar 6y agoTraditional news organizations, especially older ones that began with print, have a long, long way to fall before they're comparable to social media. Social media as a link aggregator, maybe. Social media discussions as being anything but misinformed, almost certainly not.
