I recently re-discovered the Wikipedia Current Events portal, located here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events. It’s an unbiased index of major events happening in the world crowdsourced and vetted by Wikipedia contributors with sources to the news articles they came from.
This + non-front Reddit subs like /r/PoliticalDiscussion + Hacker News gives me as much of a 360 degree sphere of coverage as I can come up with that doesn’t take hours to curate and vet.
That said, yes, the Internet is an ad-optimized heap of disinformation, misinformation, and FUD, generally speaking.
(I found /r/politicaldiscussion and /r/neutralpolitics by searching for “unbiased political subreddits site:reddit.com” on Google. I always recommend newcomers to Reddit to unsubscribe from all of the default subreddits (as they are heavily manipulated) and use Google to find subs relevant to their interests.)
