Legacy media is full of SEO optimised headlines and political agendas. If you want real news you'll have to scrape source tickers like AP, Al Jazeera and others directly, strip SEO and political agendas from the headlines and then you got an idea of what is really going on.

The political spin tells you a lot of information too, if you know what you’re looking at
I agree. Spin and propaganda are also information that sends a signal.
It tells you a lot about their strategy and goals.
Yeah but you'll have to read between the lines. Make your way around paywalls, cookies, captcha, re-captcha etc etc etc. I prefer raw intel over news headlines from general media.
I simply pay. I pay for numerous subscriptions, including to smaller sources. Mostly in German, but not only.
Free stuff tends to not be very good, but that isn't my problem.
I see. I'm not a big fan of subscriptions. I don't even have Netflix.
nostr:npub17w9nt66e5t7pfesra0lndmc7vw702ede0sqh58jnlg4zd6dxlrhq49e4c0 does the news scraping for me.
All websites are full of SEO optimized headlines and political agendas. That's how Internet communication works.
Your best bet is to search for information on particular topics in all languages you can understand and then read through the results. (You'll quickly see that there aren't actually that many sources, as most websites refer to or summarize other websites, so it can take a while to get to the original source.)
Takes me a few hours, for each topic. That's why I tend to post in batches, as I have to set aside a large block of time for this research.
