The BBC, NPR and the NY Times. NPR in their effort to seem unbiased allows Republicans to frame the discussion of all things political and NPR participates rather than calling out obvious falsehoods or reframing any issue around facts. I bucket them firmly in the neoliberal controlled opposition camp. The NYT has become yet another corporate mouthpiece and the BBC does whatever they do. I never paid much attention to CNN but I engage with them even less now that they've switched to FOX's manufactured outrage "entertainment" model rather than engaging in journalism.
So, uh, all of those? I can't handle popular Republican "news" sources, they tend to twist facts in the name of this week's political expediency or simply lie.
Edit: I'd like to say "literally any corporate news source" here too, all of them present a view of the world that reinforces their owners' worldview and/or lobbies in their interest. All media should be carefully evaluated for a slant that benefits the owner of the publication regardless of their apparent political stance.
