What news sources and content, if any, do you follow instead?

Personally, I started listening to NPR in 2007, and have consistently found them on point, unbiased, and including programming that enriches all. I tried to listen to talk radio (AM, some FM local) before that point and was decidedly turned off to most, if not all, of it (admittedly, I do not listen to every show).

I've been listening to Breaking Points with Krystal and Sagar a lot lately. Still not sure I "recommend" them, but they have solid representation on both sides of the political spectrum, and their takes are unique and usually interesting.

They do overwhelm my ears, however, and I can't often make it through a full episode in one sitting.

Wall Street Journal, financial times, the economist, and Hckrnews :-)

So is it that you think you can trust the objectivity, or just that they're private entities? Purely a coincidence that some of those have biases in the opposite direction as NPR?

WSJ and FT/Economics sort of cancel each out on the bias in my experience. FT in particular is fairly left leaning on the american political spectrum.

Opposite direction of NPR? So you do agree that NPR has a bias ?

If one applies your approach, a superior parsing is that they were noting parent comments claims of NPR's bias towards liberal, democratic values, rather than making a slight or firm argument outright.
