I read the guardian but it's pretty biased l and sometimes the reporting is terrible. It tends to align with my views but it's still super flawed. Recently I've also been reading dw.com Deutsche Welle. They are more straight factual and of course biased to German related news which is interesting.

Do you have any specific examples? I can't say that it mirrors my experience but i might have missed something.

I don't keep a record of the articles that have made me roll my eyes. Usually it's when they report on an area I know a little about, like New Zealand or tech news, and I think "wait, that's not entirely true" or "that's not what people actually think about this subject" and it makes me think if I feel that way about those articles then that reduces the credibility of all articles by a small amount. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-guardian/ has some information and examples.
Interesting. There's an upcoming Indian channel (WION) which seems to get good marks from this group.

However, most Indian journalists call them "right wing."

What is DW saying about Nord Stream 2 and the impact on Germany?
