Eh. Tough question. You don't want to make the mistake of using sources with an opposite mindset to the prevailing media.

Prevailing media has a strong democratic bias. Opposing media has a strong republican bias (breitbart, oann, etc).

Better media doesn't give a shit. I suggest sott.net, global research, strategic culture, mises.org, the intercept, reason, opslens, the unz review, counterpunch, zerohedge.

KEEP IN MIND: all of these sources require a STRONG BS filter. It's like startups v established companies: lots of bullshit with diamonds in the rough thrown in. It's your job to find the diamonds. When you find them, they're totally worth it.

Those should get you started. In general, I tend to also follow a host of individuals on twitter of varying backgrounds to get a greater variety.

Brietbart and oann have strong republican bias but mises and reason don't? /:
From what I've read on Mises they are big on numbers, data, citing sources and logic. They don't deserve to be grouped with the others.
Mises are shills for failed economic theories and peddle dumb conspiracy theories.
You're free to criticize their economics, but their bias for everyday news tends to be more objective than that most others.
Which failed economic theories and failed how exactly?
'Austrian' economics.
Failed how?
Correct. Mises and Reason are libertarian, not republican.
