Where to find decent, unbiased news?

#12https://www.allsides.com/unbiased-balanced-news provides news stories aggregated from major news sites with the news sites ranked by their bias level: far-left, left, center, right, far-right AllSides also has a mobile app that works fairly well. As others have stated, there are no unbiased news sources. Seeing the takes from different sides shows the biases and helps you keep an open mind.
Rating modern BBC, NPR, TheHill and Axios(!) of all things as "center" is quite a leftist bias in itself. As a rule of thumb you can say that if it's allowed on /r/politics then it fits neatly into the regressive left's small space of approved opinions.
If the weatherman says it's warm today, some will say too hot, some will say too cold.
There is no internationally recognised unit of left/rightness. You will always need to apply your perceived bias to anything like this. Don't expect them to match exactly what you feel.

#14News is always biased. A more interesting question is, do you need news to be unbiased, or even, do you need any news at all?
I highly recommend reading "Avoid News" from Rolf Dobelli from 2010 [1]. This essay was published long before the problem with fake news. I stopped reading the news for 10 years now (except Hacker News and some sports) and I've never had the feeling that I missed something that was important. As a positive side effect I never have to think what kind of bias the author of the news article has, because I never read them.

I agree with your analogy.
I too would consider my personal opinions prudent and middle-of-the-road but unlike AllSides.com I do not run a website whose mission statement allegedly is to be transparent about media bias.

#16Build a network of people whose expertise you trust on different topics. See what books, articles, information they recommend to you. Kind of like you’d do at work.
Don’t worry so much about day-to-day news. It’s more useful for conversation than it is actionable.

#18Does anyone think paid news would be any better?
Re: Where to find decent, unbiased news?
#19It does not exist. Choose media with a consistent bias and you will rarely be surprised by lies, especially if you diversify your sources and pull from across political and economic spectra. For US news, you're better off with foreign coverage than domestic, but it might be upsetting if you are nationalistic (I would imagine that holds true everywhere).
Why would foreign coverage be better? I understand that they have generally less bias. However, usually any international coverage will will only cover the biggest items and miss a lot of smaller stories that may still be relevant to people living in the subject country. They may also be covering it from the perspective of how it impacts the reporting country, which can gloss over or miss details pertainate to the subject country, or introduce bias.

First time I hear of this essay. I needed to read that, thank you!
