Many of us have canceled our subscription to WaPo after its owner, billionaire Jeff Bezos, refused to allow the paper to endorse Kamala Harris for President. Where to turn? Read on for ideas.

Don't forget the state houses! The States Newsroom has excellent statehouse reporting for each state, often long-time reporters whose work was lost as we lost local coverage. I follow the Missouri and Minnesota "papers", and the reporting is excellent. Free, but donation-supported. https://statesnewsroom.com/
Yep, FB still blocking. Tried today. And YES, I provided my “feedback” to them and did a screen shot with the URL and the block and shared that to my FB page.
Please consider an additional category: independent sources for state and local journalism. Readers in different localities can point to reliable sources. I am here to recommend The Washington Observer: https://washingtonobserver.substack.com/ for in depth coverage of Washington state politics.
Please include fair.org. I don't know why they get left out of lists like this, but they really shine a light on media BS. I've been supporting them for decades now and they really provide an excellent service.
Facebook won’t allow me to post the link to this! Here’s what pops up when I try to post: “Warning! This message contains blocked content. Your message couldn’t be sent because it includes content that other people on Facebook have reported as abusive.”
Great list. I also read Jay Kuo's Substack "The Status Kuo" if you're looking to add to the list.
yes, I read that too. Definitely should be on the list.

Wired has become an invaluable resource for breaking news on DOGE shenanigans and was one of the first to expose what’s going on.

Talking Points Memo a big omission.
I've made a comprehensive list of fact-based media (as comprehensive as I can make it). And I've included the smaller independent creators. https://www.freedomoverfascism.us/p/i-promised-you-id-send-you-my-list
Thank you!
Jim Acosta quit CNN and started his own substack - a mix of news, articles and interviews - recommended!
Great list overall including some I didn't know.
I second the recommendation of States Newsrooms.
I would replace Courier with States Newsrooms. Courier does some good reporting but their claim to editorial independence is questionable, at best.

States is more comprehensive, employs many more journalists and while it leans progressive, it is independent.
Great list!

Hi Kathy. Facebook has been blocking us for months. We have tried everything to rectify this...but to no avail.
Evil oligarchs!
Don't forget Inside Climate News and Civil Eats.
Thanks!
