lol, well bearing in mind that i'm quite far to the left, yeah the Financial Times is what i'd recommend.

The argument for it being that it's in the interests of the Financial Times to show the world as it is, because it's in their readership's interests to make decisions for their companies based on this.

It's not centrist in its outlook as such but it's ideology isn't tied down to culture war issues and it doesn't try and hide biases towards free-market capitalism, this also means that it's not afraid of attacking free-market capitalism when it feels its not working.

Also, it's expensive because it relies more on sales than a lot of newspapers for its income, which means it's less reliant on advertising, which means it's less afraid of annoying advertisers or funders. It's owned by Nikkei who I don't really know much about tbh.

I appreciate the time you took to give your point of view. Yes, I am trying to avoid the culture war issues as well as advertising pressure.

I know it is expensive, but I miss reading the news.

Thanks again.

I always look to this website to find news sources that are more central in theme: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/
It will also let you know whether the news site has passed fact checks as well as wether they spread conspiracies or have an agenda.

For example:

Breitbart News:

QUESTIONABLE SOURCE

A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing to credible information, a complete lack of transparency and/or is fake news. Fake News is the deliberate attempt to publish hoaxes and/or disinformation for the purpose of profit or influence (Learn More). Sources listed in the Questionable Category may be very untrustworthy and should be fact checked on a per article basis. Please note sources on this list are not considered fake news unless specifically written in the reasoning section for that source. See all Questionable sources.

Overall, we rate Breitbart Questionable based on extreme right-wing bias, the publication of conspiracy theories and propaganda as well as numerous false claims.

Fox News:

RIGHT BIAS

These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Right Bias sources.

Overall, we rate Fox News strongly Right-Biased due to editorial positions and story selection that favors the right. We also rate them Mixed factually and borderline Questionable based on poor sourcing and the spreading of conspiracy theories that later must be retracted after being widely shared. Further, Fox News would be rated a Questionable source based on numerous failed fact checks by hosts and pundits, however, straight news reporting is generally reliable, therefore we rate them Mixed for factual reporting.

The Washington Post:

LEFT-CENTER BIAS

These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor liberal causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation. See all Left-Center sources.

Overall, we rate The Washington Post Left-Center biased based on editorial positions that moderately favors the left and factually High due to the use of proper sources and a reasonable fact check record.

CNN:

LEFT BIAS

These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Left Bias sources.

Overall, we rate CNN left biased based on editorial positions that consistently favors the left, while straight news reporting falls left-center through bias by omission. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to several failed fact checks by TV hosts. However, news reporting on the website tends to be properly sourced with minimal failed fact checks
