One would argue, are there any "news" organizations left? Or are they all operating from a content farm operated by financebros position? Can you name me one news organization that isn't owned by a parent company that has vested interests in specific stories and outcomes?

Christian Science Monitor (nonprofit run, the religion really is siloed to the "Christian Science Perspective" section and the reporting is good and as independent as it comes)
The Guardian is owned by an independent trust: https://www.theguardian.com/about
404 Media is owned by its reporters
There are lots of news organisations not owned by parent companies with vested interests. RNZ in New Zealand, ABC in Australia, CBC in Canada and BBC in UK to name just a handful.
*or state owned media organizations.
Why exclude them from real news orgs?
Because they will (pretend to?) be legitimate and neutral sources until it suits the state/owners otherwise (e.g. BBC, Al Jazeera)
Wondering the same for a while. And does paying for news provide any guarantees…?
Al Jazeera?
Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan. Can't recommend it enough.
ProPublica generally.
