I've started using AP as my main news source after trump's attack on the outlet.

1. Nice!

I tend to read all of them and amalgamate the data into something truthful. Almost all US and world news have a bent/tilt (lets call it what it is, a bias) so finding authoritative sources is growing harder.

I tend to apply the disinformation rubric and other resources, including "the gentleperson's guide to forum spies" along with the numerous leaked GCHQ documents which detail methods those governments and organizations use to deceive us.

As far as I can tell, all of the for-profits are bought and paid for by monied interests. The public funded ones are mouthpieces, scribes, who sit at the right hand of the king and report their dictations. They'll give you the "official" word which is another way of saying "partial truth/completely untrue but what we want you to believe."

I personally prefer leaks. They give us the closest thing to unfiltered insight, without any of the spin or blatant untruths (again, lies)

STRATFOR briefings are wonderful but cost around $700 a year for a membership. It is provided through work but they don't allow copying 😔
