It all depends on what you want. Do want a West-centric news aggregate? Do you want as wide a set of views as possible? Do you want Asian-centric news? Do you want Tech-centric news?

My set of news websites is designed to give as wide a set of news sources as possible. So you will West-centric, China-centric, Russia-centric, Asian-centric websites in my list.

By having a very-wide set of sources, many of the biases (and ALL news sources are biased) will tend to cancel out. You will often find that news-sources omit stuff that isn't flattering to the local powers, so you won't see that news there, you will find it in one of the other sources instead.

The Guardian (Britain) https://theguardian.com/

Russia Today https://www.rt.com/

ABC News (Australia) https://www.abc.net.au/news/

Global Times (China) https://www.globaltimes.cn/

Press TV (Iran) https://www.presstv.ir/

BBC News (Britain) https://www.bbc.com/news/

Some websites I refuse to use are the Rupert Murdoch ones (Fox News, Wall Street Journal, Sky News, news.com.au, etc. from US, Britain, Australia.) These are generally unreliable and have been the focus of a court ruling which states "because they are classed as 'entertainment' and not 'news, they have no obligation to be truthful" - Florida ruling, early 1990s
