I live in Northern New York so newzjunky.com, they're a right wing rag but one of the few local news sources so I still follow them.

the thing is, I find that news/commentary ALWAYS comes with bias, and I prefer not to beat up people on "my" side.
I follow a lot of podcasts that are either center-left sources or Democratic party cheerleaders: NPR and the NPR Politics Podcast, Ezra Klein (God he's an insufferable twat), the Daily, Pod Save America...some of these I listen to because I want to know what the, "mainstream American left," believes, some of them just have good information; NPR's Up First is a great 15 minute morning news wrap, and the Daily does good in depth reporting (even better when Michael Barbaro is on vacation).
I don't listen to right-wing pundits like Ben Shapiro or Matt Walsh very often. They're mostly culture war crap, and there's usually very little information to be gained from them. I do regularly read conservative reporting though, mostly WSJ and the Economist.
I usually agree with ign. For whatever reason majority hate them
I don't follow any news sources, and I'm still over-informed.
Tbh, whatever pops up on lemmy for the most part. I'm right wing, it's pretty easy to follow the left and lurk the news communities.
Although, it's not being persuasive, it's more disgusting and horrifying that my fellow human beings think these ways.
