I want to switch from those American for profit news outlets to Euro or non-profit news outlets, what are my options?

I will list the ones I know and I find here:

  • Bloomberg: TBA.
  • Reuters : Associated Press.
  • New York Times: Follow The Money, Mediapart.
  • Politico: The Guardian.
  • The Verge: The Register, Techzine, Heise.

        I’m from the UK and would agree with you. Now is not the time to be consuming content from any government media

            Fair. I’m just trying to be alert to who controls the media I consume. Too many people in the UK blindly trust BBC and then criticise Russians for listening to what their government tell them

              True, but that’s something you’ll always have to keep in mind when reading any kind of news.

              Any news outlet will have a bias. If nothing else, the broader culture a news organisation operates in will inherently influence their decisions.

              I would say BBC is nowhere near the worst, though. Arguing they are Government controlled is just silly. You drawing a comparison to Russian media organisations is a load of tosh.

                You’re right. Clearly RT has more direct collusion with its government, I just get uncomfortable with people holding BBC up higher than any media

                  JohnSmith and NotJohnSmith taking different sides of the argument, lol.

                  Anyway I like the BBC. I don’t blindly trust it, because I read other sources too, like Sky News, The Guardian, and others. But I think the BBC is very good. And I definitely don’t think it suffers from the sort of government control that RT does. There’s a difference between government-owned and government-controlled.
