"Name your news, but it has to be written at a high level and have good fact-checking."

More like, "Name your propaganda..."
"Fact-Checking" (in the context you're referring to) is the act of making sure that all information conforms to one and only one "accepted narrative" that falls in line with whatever the Western elites (e.g., The World Economic Forum, Western governments, Western leaders, etc.) states is the accepted narrative.  Which makes your average Western consumer of "news" some of the most information-illiterate people on the planet, especially considering that what most Westerner's call "news" is pablum written at a six-grade level and written short enough to keep someone with the attention span of a gnat entertained.

If you want to really understand reality, you use multiple sources of information and then use your God-given analytical abilities to discern facts from fictions while understanding that all purveyors of information spin their publications to support their own corporate, nationalistic, and individual interests.

But with that said, let me throw one in that meets your criteria but is a periodical and not a "newspaper."

Foreign Affairs Magazine

I would like to have such a favorite newspaper or news source.

But it seems by now they are all too left, too right, publish just what their bubble group want, etc.

It's sad.

 

There is always The Onion and The Babylon Bee!  :thumbsup:

Most of the newspapers of western europe or USA,  have become similar to thrash or toilet paper with their anti Trump, pro Woke, pro climate and pro Israel propaganda. Not surprising why more and more newspapers are shutting down in many countries in the west.

On the right I would suggest the Economist as a fairly (but not always) rational decent source of information.  Guardian, leftwing but too London-centric.  Telegraph was good in the past, now just a pretentious version of the Daily Mail ever since it got rid of decent journalists - e.g. Peter Oborne.  Daily Mail disconnected from reality with extreme biases.   Mirror is as bad leftwing as DM & Sun rightwing - all more useful as regards their absorbency abilties as toilet paper.

Recent media that has emerged with limited less obvious biases: Bylines, Tortoise, and few others I cannot call to mind.

Al-Jazeera - bearing in mind obvious biases.  NO Chinese media is trustworthy as all dance to the CCP tune.

BBC not trustworthy as it is/was completely for Brexit (bias from Laura Kuenssberg was most blatant), 100% pro-Union (no balance from many BBC commentators -  blatant bias from many, if not all BBC commentators).
