Just cancelled my subscription, absolutely disgusting seeing this on the front page. Is there any publication left not bought and paid for by our corporate overlords?
The onion can point to fascism and call it such and consistently oppose it. Might be the only news source that can sadly enough. So yeah I’m willing to put up with learning about mass shootings like this
They’re “posh” neoliberal shit, so people who never lived in Britain can’t really identify it as just a variant of the same of swindle as the NYT done in the service of a similar kind of elites.
The Guardian is decent. Articles can definitely be opinionated and not all columnists are equally good, but I haven’t read anything particularly egregious yet. And their investigative journalism is quite good compared to other media outlets imo.
They also clearly mark articles that are old as being old (warning you to check more recent sources), which I quite like.
It’s one of the few outlets that seems to have an opinion rather than an agenda, if that makes sense. Their viewpoint is left of center, but they make this fairly clear and they’re pretty factual and offer nuanced alternative viewpoints most of the time. They don’t seem like they’re sneakily trying to convince you of stuff, it’s just a “Here’s what we think about what happened”.

Really good question. I think the answer, at least in terms of newspapers, is a big NO. I had realized years ago that the “newspapers of record”, i.e., New York Times and Washington Post, were compromised after seeing how they covered Bernie Sanders’ campaign. In reality, they likely always were compromised. Don’t forget that NYT had a large role in pushing the Iraq invasion that led to hundreds of thousands of deaths. I’ve heard that they were also involved in the US getting into Vietnam too, but don’t have much detail of that.
I have decided to subscribe to my local metro area newspaper instead, just to get some coverage of local news and events in addition to basic national and international coverage.
Now, magazines should be a different story, if you look at leftist ones like Jacobin, Monthly Review, etc.
What about ProPublica? They still do pretty hard hitting investigative journalism. They’re the ones that wrote some of the more recent in depth articles about an insurer’s (might have been UHC’s) automated denial system.

The Onion?
At least the onion has some journalistic integrity

I can’t vouch for their opinions, because I haven’t read it enough, but The Guardian doesn’t have shareholders and has editorial freedom
They still shill be neo lib shite?

I subscribe to the Guardian. They’re not always perfect - nothing is. But they’re good.
First ones I saw to give an actual explanation of what happened in Amsterdam, for example.
