It does not exist. Choose media with a consistent bias and you will rarely be surprised by lies, especially if you diversify your sources and pull from across political and economic spectra. For US news, you're better off with foreign coverage than domestic, but it might be upsetting if you are nationalistic (I would imagine that holds true everywhere).

Why would foreign coverage be better? I understand that they have generally less bias. However, usually any international coverage will will only cover the biggest items and miss a lot of smaller stories that may still be relevant to people living in the subject country. They may also be covering it from the perspective of how it impacts the reporting country, which can gloss over or miss details pertainate to the subject country, or introduce bias.
Very glad to read that. I agree wholeheartedly.
