Infowars is a good source... just kidding. The Associated Press is my go-to source.

I don't think it exists. Therefore the best option is to read a couple of different opinions (try to leave your bubble) and make up your own mind.

For example when I want to learn about the russian perspective on a certain topic (in addition to the one served by western media) i go to RT.

Are you reading something about Iran? Why not check the Iranian News agency, too?

Or perhaps it's more mundane and you just want to know which brand of device to buy. You may be able to find some unbiased hardware tests online at some of the more reputable addresses. I'm not going to name any :-)

Try performing a search for "news aggregator" which may provide a list of sites that provide many updated links to over sites, often divided into categories. The better ones allow you to maintain your own list of categories.
