BBC News (especially on this machine, where I can block the ads they show to non-UK viewers)
San Francisco Chronicle (there's a lot of extra stuff, like real estate stories and Dear Abby, on their free sfgate site, but while the ads on the premium site can be reduced to the visual equivalent of a dull roar, the free site is festooned with autoplay videos even with aggressive ad blocking. The Chronicle site usually has a monthly limit on stories but has been letting me see everything during the emergency, even old archived slideshows of how the city used to be. On the other hand they've cut back on the New York Times and Washington Post stories they used to share.)
My standard set are: - BBC - SF Chronicle (=local) - Al Jazeera - CBC
NY Times and Washington Post are too US-left for me to subscribe, and too-paywalled for me to visit otherwise. Also, I don't trust the Waskington Post's owner (= Bezos). But I enjoy their editorials, even while questioning their reasonableness.
I follow links to lots of other news sources on occassion.
All of these are viewed with adblock; without that, they might not be wother bothering with, but I haven't checked.
- CNN online - Orlando Sentinel - [Our local small town daily, which I'm not going to list, here.] - VillagesNews.com1 - Detroit Free Press (News from back home. - Detroit.) - FlintBeat.com (News from back home. No Conservative bias. - Flint.) - Mlive.com (News from back home, with increasing Conservative bias. - Michigan.) - Oregonlive.com (News from back in Oregon. Portland.) - Statesmanjournal.com (News from back in Oregon. - Salem.) - Registerguard.com (News from back in Oregon. - Eugene.)
(I've lived in a lot of places, but Michigan (Flint and Detroit) and Oregon (Salem and Eugene) are home. So I read the news from there. The Oregonian is...well, as Portland goes, so goes the galaxy, in Oregon.
I also read lots of linked articles from NYT, WaPo, BBC, The Guardian, &c. if I can get past paywalls, &c.
1Villages News is a horrible site, but it's full of news and rants from the rich, entitled-as-hell, racist, old assholes who live in The Villages. It's good both for schadenfreude, and for a snapshot of what they're up to, now. (They're trying to take over our county and run it for their exclusive benefit, while trying to find ways to exempt themselves from taxes so that we non-Villagers will have to fund whateverthehell they want next.)
