This is an odd viewpoint. To me, "news" means "what is happening". I'm aware that the American news media does tend to mix a fairly heavy dose of opinion into that, but that isn't your only choice. The wire services like AP, or non-US news organizations like the BBC or Japan's NHK provide alternatives. But these aren't "alternative viewpoints". They're just news with less opinion. Are you actually looking for news? Or different opinions?
