I have a hard time finding news sources I can stand; basically all the major outlets just turn me off with their bias and verbose irrelevant analysis. Over the part year I've collected a few lesser known options you may find valuable too:

https://theintercept.com - mostly anti-propaganda efforts

https://phys.org - an aggregator often linking to primary sources

https://www.currentaffairs.org - political opinions that generally seem thought out

http://www.realclear(politics|world|*).com - a network of aggregators with a good balance

http://evonomics.com - economic perspectives I also don't mind reading.

I would really love to find more options - especially something in a debate format so I can judge arguments from multiple sides on an issue.

Here's a long list of YouTubers who cover the news. Some of these people I've never heard of, and some of them I'd stay far away from [e.g., Alex Jones]:

For online news aggregators... He's overly right-wing for my tastes, but the best truly independent aggregator I've been able to find is Drudge. I'm frankly stunned that after 20 years, the powers that be have not yet found a way to shut him down.
