There aren't anymore honest sources of news since journalism is dead.
What you're left with is how each channel spins the story with their rhetoric, but the truth is always there.
If there was a bus crash, we'd all know. But how they spin it is part of the show now, no more journalism.

I was getting pretty good information off of Twitter/X until I got the permanent ban. I was following sources that I tended to trust so wasn't seeing a lot of fake stuff.
Now I use telegram a little bit but otherwise I'm in the dark on what's happening in the world day to day. I do keep up with Israel via Telegram real well.

SIMPLE: just remember Edgar Allen Poe's words:
"DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU HEAR, AND ONLY HALF OF WHAT YOU SEE".
"Honest News Source" is an oxymoron.
In cases where actual EVENTS are reported, the "news" is probably factual.
In cases where "Commentary", or "Analysis" are presented, it's best to mute the sound, so that the "Talking head's opinions" won't poison your perceptions.
Just assume that the "news" and the "Weather reports" are on the same level of accuracy, except that the Weather reports have a greater chance of being factual.

There's a way to view the news and politics that really source is of secondary importance. The way I term it is following plotlines. Once you know about a plotline and that there is certainty of truth to that plotline, you just keep an eye out for that plotline. In this way then the sources act more as to color in the surrounding core plotline with their biases, speculations, spin, opinions, entertainment, etc. Technically as long as you follow the plotline and the deeper your understanding of a particular plotline goes then it doesn't matter too much what the source or messenger is since we're focusing on the message and parsing through it for hard news that either starts, updates, or closes the plotline

There’s only one way.
Ploughing through news sites from all over the world and then be analyzing whatever they are saying the best way you can. Unfortunately that depends on how many languages you master. So be it that some of them are in English, but truth be told, those versions are often lost in translation.
I can read French, English, Swedish, German and Russian news in their own language. It’s quite educational. Especially the Russian blogs. Not the English versions. And if you think Google translate or other translation services gives you a clue…they don’t. Basically those services are void when it comes to what’s really relevant.

I will also say in terms of the other question about what sources I like so that you're not just given a vague or etheric answer. FOX despite what they say and think FOX is the chief of the mainsteam news by reason they cover the most plotlines and they currently have the best access for politics. Forbes then is more left-leaning but in a more capitalist or centrist liberal sense rather than the extreme woke fools. For similar reasons I like Forbes, again like FOX they tend to cover a larger amount of topics and actual news plotlines, they have a larger degree of access in politics, business, and social news from their long and powerful reputation.
