Let me give the cookie-cutter partisan responses now so people can discuss more important parts of this report.

Libs: That's because liberal media is the best thing ever and everything they say and do is 100% true and perfect and nothing could ever be better!
Cons: Obviously this is fake news because liberal media does nothing but lie and support Democrat corruption at all levels!

Ok, now people can reply with informative and thought-provoking comments since we got the partisan stupidity out of the way. Feel free to copy/paste about every other news outlet, just change the Libs and Cons based on the leaning of the outlet.

I think only 2 U.S. Newspapers are essential to be informed.

1. the Washington Post
2. the N.Y. Times

That being said, Corporate America, and the recent change of ownership
in the WashPo, threaten that. Corporate America, of course, preferring
uninformed worker drones, that citizens able to question.

I hope the Post can survive the detrimental change to their leadership/ownership.

Now all you retarded conservatives can blather on all you want about the
'------- media' and such. And I shall 'fart in your general direction'...

So much misinformation and disinformation it's getting tough to sort through the morass.

No worries. My "good guy" AI will help me sort thru it all and toss the "bad guy" AI off the train. Or so I am told.

I don't know, I think the NYTs has some ongoing credibility issues that keep naggingly popping up. I had a digital subscription but didn't think it was worth it for the 5-10 articles I actually read a week.

Both are well-written and I would also recommend

3. The Christian Science Monitor

It has some of the best-written and well-researched articles out there.
