What sources do you use for news? (lemmy.ml)

I always struggle with what sources I should be reading for news (particularly political news). I don't want to read only sources that I agree with, but I also struggle finding news sources that aren't sensationalist and put forward varied view points. Here are a few of the places I frequent (criticism of these sources or other recommendations are welcome.) I don't think my political news sources are well varied so any recommendations there would be great as well.

hackernews
arstechnica
the economist
axios
MIT News
Wired

My absolute favorites to follow are:

The Grayzone - it's Max Blumenthal's analysis.

Moon of Alabama - one guy's perspectives on what to look out for

The Canary - for the UK perspective on its involvement in the world's affairs.

Unlimited Hangout - a more analytical take on long-term established players.

MintPress News - more about the West's influence in far-away regions.

And for technology:

Techdirt - Crazy legal proceedings, frivolous lawsuits... at times both sad, and very much hilarious.

Nice recommendations, I hadn't heard of some of these.
