Aljazeera. Used to be NYT, I still check them sometimes as well but I've lost some faith in them.

Can you explain more on why you've lost faith in NYT? I've recently lost some faith in them as well, but I'm having a hard time explaining why.

I think Aljazeera tends to phrase things like "We don't know what happened, but here's the facts we can tell you". NYT feels a lot more like "This is our best guess". I think they are facing a lot of pressure to compete with lower quality sources that report without fact checking.

I'm also a bit jaded about American corporations right now, and it's refreshing to get a view from an outside company.
