"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).

What a surprise. 

I tend not to read one-world order crap. You are ok with it.  Have at it.  It's done wonders for you already.  Do you also bow to the TV each time you saw Klaus Schwab?

I am sure, as I am the OP or original poster that I asked for your favorite newspapers.  What I did not ask any of you was to regurgitate your vile and vitriol centered around Trump. 

 

You make me pity you.

That doesn't mean, "Don't read them," it means, "Understand the bias as you read them."  You'll have a better understanding of how the world as a whole works if you expose yourself to published works that you know are biased, and you then perceive and understand that bias.

:angry: "But I only trust 'fact-checked' information!!!"

Then you live in an echo-chamber with your brain shut off as you are too lazy to think on your own.  Yep - you'll get a single view of the world and you'll own that view too.  Then you just become an ideologue.  That doesn't make you knowledgeable, it make you brainwashed. You're more knowledgeable if you attempt to understand why the other sources are biased - you may not like it or agree with them, but you can better understand what drives the worldviews of others. There is a lot to learn there.

Ohhh, you read me wrong.  Go back and read what I wrote again.  Trust me - I don't fit into anyone's black&white, binary worldview. I'm pretty well read, well read enough that other people will be telling you that I bow to the TV each time Alex Jones or Trump is mentioned, or they'll refer to me as a <gasp> Conspiracy Theorist  <cue Twilight Zone theme song>.  Me bowing to freaking Herr Aldolf Klaus Schwab.  That's rich.  The world will be a better place when he and Soros, and a rash of other globalists and neo-cons joins Zbigniew Brzezinski and Madeleine Albright in whatever circle of Hell they inhabit. No, I practice what I preach - I read the thesis's and writings of people (corporations, governments, NGOs) I neither like or respect because I want to understand how their minds work. You don't grasp that by living in a bubble and having your information "fact-checked."
However I've been known to read the Epoch Times (wink wink) especially their health section (which by the way you can't post on this site, in fact you can't post any links by the Epoch Times here). <laughs>
