Where can I find unbiased news?

I watch PBS News Hour.

Surely you're not so arrogant to be saying the average person is too stupid to make decisions on their own.

I subscribe to the 1440 daily email, which claims to be unbiased.

My mainstay is Reuters. Then I add in visits to WSJ and NPR and they balance each other out.

I’m talking news, not editorials of course.

Because when you TALK to people all day long about their problems, you start to realize the many many ways that society has failed. You see the human toll of every single headline. Yes, real journalists, who are not doing it for "entertainment" and have a shred of empathy might start unbiased, or in the middle, but they don't stay there.

Progress is GOOD. Being a progressive is a human value. The news covers PEOPLE and people want empathy for their challenges. That alone makes most people, who are not rich white men, lean left.

White males make up 30% of the population, with rich white men making up a fraction of that. Any poll you see at this point that isn't total propaganda on either side shows the race to be basically 50/50. You are showing your bias in your incorrect and skewed facts to make a point that you want to think is true. You are no different than biased media.

Interesting perspective come out of Al Jazeera, South China Morning Post, the Christian Science Monitor, and the Financial Times.

100% of the worlds problems are directly the fault of cisgender white males.

Also, for an explanation of why "unbiased" is such a slippery category:

Very Orwellian.

There are actual facts and there is reporting on the facts. The idea that we live in a post-fact world is part of the MAGA platform to get everyone to not trust our institutions.

People have been complaining about the news being slanted well before Trump was even thinking about running for office.

I don't really read the news, because the hot takes often turn out to be wrong/presented without much context. Instead I wait for the in-depth New Yorker articles. The more in-depth you go, the harder it is to avoid nuance and context and complexity.

For literal up-to-the-minute happenings, it's enough to just kind of see the headlines. I read the NYT morning newsletter. But I try to skip past opinions and just stay current on what the headlines are.

Or maybe it’s because they all attended the same post-secondary liberal indoctrination camps.

And a lot of npr!! I listen to npr all the time, but some of the reporters are incredibly biased. I can barely listen to The Daily - so many dramatic pauses, horrible sound effects and ridiculous one sided questions. Michael Barbara is single handedly turning me back to the Republican Party.

I do listen to BBC and Al Jazeera.

I'm not a fan of Barbaro either, but fwiw, he's with the NY Times.

That’s right. My bad!
