It's just that I rotate between all these organizations (e.g., reuters, cnn, foxnews, msnbc) and I legit don't know where to actually find unpartisan material anymore.
Places for true un-politicized news about the US?

#2AP and Reuters seem to be alright in my experience, as do some foreign sources (BBC). AllSides.com provides media bias ratings which pass my sanity filter, although I won't claim to know how trustworthy a source they are.

Thanks for the allsides link. If it's what they claim that's a good one.

#4If you think Reuters is not unpartisan, your concept is flawed.
Most mainstream news about the US: Reuters, ABC News, USA Today, BBC, Wall Street Journal (News not Editorial),
You might also want to check sources like https://www.allsides.com/
You should also differentiate between news articles and opinion writing. Wapo and The Times write good analytical articles that are not biased.

I hear you on Reuters maybe that was an unfair inclusion (it is certainly not sensationalist news) but still...

"If you agree with it, it's truth. If you don't agree, it's propaganda. Pretend that it is all propaganda. See what happens on your analysis reports."

I don't know how I feel about allsides.com bias ratings. The Economist and The New York Times (news only) appear in the left-leaning column. The New York Times (opinion) appears in the solid left column. Given The Economist's solid advocacy for business and free trade, and Douthat and Brooks and Stephens as NYT opinion writers, I'm positive this isn't even slightly accurate.
Treating allsides.com as propaganda, as another commenter here has advocated, I'd have to say that allsides.com is shifted everything left one column, or maybe more.

I don't know enough about individual publications to say whether I agree that their ratings are off, but I do like how allsides allows you to vote on whether you agree with their ratings[1] -- and I encourage you to. At least out of their site visitors, there seems to be a decent degree of agreement. I think what they're trying to do is admirable and it's an extra bit of legitimacy that they're willing to admit they're not perfect. If there's a better source for exploring media bias out there, I'm not aware of it.

In that case then maybe the question "Where can I find news that requires the least amount of cognitive load to consume?" is more appropriate... this is also a little defeatist.

Thank you for pointing that out.
