21. Nothing on any commercial station, that's for sure.

Commercialism gives, at minimum, an appearance of conflict of interest and in many cases a fairly obvious pandering for ratings and appeal to the lowest common denominator.

That leaves NPR. Sadly, that has dumbed down tremendously in recent years, but is still the best source of mostly unbiased news out there. BBC too, if you can get it.

Read widely, especially from sources you disagree with (though avoid the obvious loonies) so as to challenge your own views and biases and avoid winding up in echo chambers, is all I can say.
