Twitter, now X, was once a useful site for breaking news. The Baltimore bridge collapse shows those days are long gone.

It's not so much what their interpretation is of the specific article is, it's more that you might find more information from someone who has info that was left out, or maybe another source that has conflicting information.

Could you show us a few not so biased news sources? I suppose this will also vary wildly by topic. A news outlet might be narrative/propaganda driven on one topic, but not about another.

It's so much mess (through corporate ties or money) to sort through, it's hard to trust any of them anymore

Have you heard of Ground News? It's basically a news aggregator that shows multiple stories on the same event, but with a bias rating and a factuality score, as well as a ownership category. Also, a blindspot category which shows articles being shown predominantly by one side and not the other.

The Ground News bias ratings are calculated using three independent news monitoring organizations: All SidesAd Fontes Media, and Media Bias Fact Check. This score does not measure the bias of specific news articles. It is an assessment of the political bias of the publication. The rating takes into consideration things like the wording, story choices and political affiliation of the outlet.

Looks good. It's there a free tier?
