Do you have any suggestions? Are there any reputable sources remaining? Not sure I could trust any single source ever again. Not enough to pay for it anyways.

Associated Press, Reuters, Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg.

AP has had a lot of "opinion..." in it's feeds over the last couple years. I used to be a big fan of their uncurated "Raw Feed" but they decided that was not something they wanted to expose any longer.

The others are ok sources but still too much opinion mixed in for my money. Can't somebody just give us the facts?

What happened with that story about the magic Chinese spying chip, found only on SuperMicro motherboards sold to Apple? Did they prove it true? Did they retract it?

There is a point about this, if I can't trust them with things I have an idea about, how can I trust them with things totally foreign to me?

axios, economist, and this very article you're reading. i also read bill bishop's newsletter, very good as well

Some of the journalists who used to work for companies like Buzzfeed have joined the YouTube cottage industry of reporting as an independent journalist. Unlike 90% of the mainstream news media, these individual journalists are not owned and controlled by six billionaires. They make their living via the tiny percentage of their audience that is willing to pay them through sites like Patreon. The recent Covington mis-reporting by the mainstream media should start to wake people up regarding the need to receive one's news from independent journalists. Regarding specific recommendations... He's a little more left wing than I'd prefer, but I'd still recommend Tim Pool's YouTube channel.
