Obviously, American media. Fox News, CNN (increasingly) don't provide an objective view of the universe. Washington Post, LA Times obviously compromise.
NYT increasingly suspect.
Don't give them your money.

Let's start with hyperlocal media. If you are lucky enough to still have a local paper, advertise with them, subscribe to them, put in classified ads. Do everything you can to keep from losing them.

Les principaux journaux canadiens francophones sont La Presse et Le Devoir (financement public et indépendant), et Le Journal de Montréal + Le Soleil de Québec (propriétés privées du groupe Québecor - contenu populiste/de droite). 1/2
L’Actualité est un magazine mensuel d’affaires publiques (propriété de Mishmash media)

Je vais aller fouiner du côté des indépendants !
I prefer my news in print, and only suss out reputable sources
It's been much better for my mental health.
