For me in the UK:
BBC News is okay, but it can sometimes tie itself in knots trying to be it's definition of "unbiased" and gets slated by both the left and right for it. There was a specific controversy recently where they were accused of bowing to the government.
I like The Guardian. It's left-leaning in it's opinions, but not to the extent of overly spinning the truth.
In the last few days I've actually been trying out Al Jazeera. Early days, but I've been very impressed by how 'dry' their articles are - very matter-of-fact without spin, unlike the usual Western style.
Thank you.
Second Al Jazeera for sure. I appreciate seeing their reporting. Just a note that the network is owned by the government of Qatar so their news will always have that lens. Can't remember if I've had any concerns so far as I've been watching/reading them for years now.
