Appreciate the extra insight. Any sources you recommend if someone is trying to avoid news sources that are corporate biased or propaganda outlets?
Other large outlets not on the list like BBC, The Guardian, Al Jazeera, RT, all seem like they would fall into one or the other of those categories to varying degrees. Visibility on quality, unbiased, sources of news is certainly needed now more than ever.
There isn’t much if you’re interested in like Party Politics and State Relations.
But there is actually quite a rich layered news that centers people instead of institutions. I’ll send you two ones that are explicitly anarchist. Obviously, I’m not saying one needs to only read them, but adding them into the media diet can be quite nice.
There are some decent in between sources as well. See maybe Propublica or Jacobin.
I think unbiased sources don’t exist. Everything is giving you a perspective. And having perspectives that aren’t elite coded or pro-status quo coded can be really valuable.

I personally trust Al Jazeera more than I trust the BBC. I don’t read Russia Times (RT), and very rarely The Guardian.
