.... of a news source I consider reliable and unbiased, including NPR. The last good journalism I heard was the Christian Science Monitor back when I had access to them.

Newspapers, TV, they all have an agenda. Some of them lie outright but most of the time they just tell part of the truth, that works as well as a lie for their purposes.

If you want to have a clue what is really going on in any sphere, you have to spend a lot of time on the internet, and plenty of what you'll find there is bullshit also, but sometimes you can glean out something like the facts.
