Not to mention the appalling coverage of Jeremy Corbyn.
What was appalling about its coverage? Any sources or evidence? From what I understand they go to great lengths to remain as impartial as possible so curious what it is in particular you are referring to?

I'd advise steering clear of anything related to UK politics published by the BBC. There's been a clear pro-right trend for a number of years evident most clearly during the most recent election and Scotland's independence referendum of 2014.
In my experience, everybody complains that the BBC is biased, which probably means they're fairly neutral.

#44I try to avoid it. It's too much of a time sink and there's almost zero pieces of actionable information. I know it's offensive to claim it's merely entertainment but in concrete terms there's no material difference resulting from tuning into daily banter that's any different than watching some serial drama on television.
This is my point of view as well. Even (especially?) for things like politics. I might read a quick summary about whatever the current big issues are every few weeks and around elections, but that's it.
Issues that may affect me (which are more local in nature) will naturally come up in conversation, so I don't think I'm really missing out on anything. I'm not in a position where I can change anything, so why bother wasting my attention on these things?

#45Reuters (https://www.reuters.com/) is currently my favorite news source.
No paywall. Relatively fast loading, not too annoying site. They're heavy on news, light on opinion, agenda and propaganda. They generally cover anything of consequence globally.

"Money Stuff" is hilarious.

#47Although it is in german, the „deutschlandfunk“[1] is very informative radio with no advertisement. I mostly listen to it on breakfast, but you can most all articles on the radio on their website.

Do those on the right say Fox News is biased?

#49I have a heavily cultivated set of custom subreddits (local, photography), but I tend to gravitate to hn for tech more and more these days.

#50I pretty far left, even for European standards, so this is my news: - https://morningstaronline.co.uk/ (UK Left news) - https://www.theguardian.com/international (Int. News) - https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world (Int. News) - https://taz.de/ (German left newspaper) - https://www.sueddeutsche.de/ (German centrist) - https://www.theregister.co.uk/ (For IT news) - https://techcrunch.com/ (For Startup News) - https:…
I would strongly suggest that anyone in the UK finds a non-UK news source, and SDZ is a good choice. Irish Times also works - not remotely left, but outside the UK bubble.
