Matt Taibbi is pretty good.

I subscribe to my local newspaper and one national one.

I also sometimes send a bunch of money to the Guardian when I read something interesting there, probably more than I feel like for just the Guardian, but there's nowhere else I can pay for stories, everyone else want me to subscribe.

I pay for Andrew Sullivan's Substack and reading his weekly column is always a highlight of my Friday.

He's not really a "journalist" but John McWhorter's Substack is excellent too.
