I have shared these links before but never really explained.
The Sortition keeps a list of free, independent news sources that don't require tracking (tor safe).
I go here when I want news.
At the top is the latest highlight story with a link to the original, and condensed text to quickly understand the content (often related articles too), below that the news source list, and then the former highlights.
