They're all biased. For the UK, probably The Telegraph and The Guardian are the best. The Guardian is free, of course. Well, they rely on donations.

The media has always had biases, which is why I tend to check out various sources. CNN has always been terrible, it just repeats the same stories endlessly with little actual content. I like Waterfordwhisperers.com

Freedom is not a state. It is an act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau.. Freedom is a continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society.-John Lewis

The satirical program Redacted Tonight mimics the style of The Daily Show but it airs on RT America, produced by a company the Trump administration required last month to register as a foreign agent.over the rainbow wrote: ↑Sat Oct 05, 2019 11:30 amnot paid but

Financial Times would get my money. Although not perfect any longer by any means, in the old days they used to report with verifiable statements, facts and figures and leave the interpretation of those up to the reader.

Here's an example of The Telegraph's bias by Graham Norton.
Graham Norton has said he stopped writing for the Daily Telegraph because the newspaper’s recent “toxic” political stances increasingly made him feel “nauseous”.
The BBC One chat show presenter wrote the newspaper’s advice column for 12 years before stepping down without explanation at the end of 2018. Norton has now said he decided to leave the outlet after it defended the likes of US supreme court then-nominee Brett Kavanaugh and published articles by future prime minister Boris Johnson containing falsehoods.
He said: “When I signed up to be their agony aunt, I was aware that it was a rightwing paper and that didn’t bother me, but about a year before I left, it took a turn and there were some things in that paper about which I thought, ‘I cannot be contained within the same pages as this.’
“There was a piece defending Brett Kavanaugh and things president Trump had said about [Kavanaugh’s] accuser, and I just thought, ‘This is toxic.’ And I loved that job; I absolutely adored doing it, but ultimately I didn’t love it enough to be part of that stable.
“I just had to step away, which saddened me, but I was beginning to feel a bit nauseous. It’s a weird thing: these very nice people would say, ‘Oh, I love your column in the Telegraph’ and I’m looking at them thinking, ‘You read the Telegraph?!’ That’s not good, that’s not a happy situation to be in.”
The presenter of The Graham Norton Show made the comments while undertaking promotional work for the latest series of his Friday night show. He said he didn’t explain to the newspaper at the time his reasons for leaving, but now wanted to clarify the decision.
Norton claimed the Telegraph’s standards were substantially below those of US newspapers. “Another awful thing is the fact they were such a mouthpiece for Boris Johnson with no fact-checking at all.
