I can't think of any... none really. Local media are a disaster, international as well most of the time. I prefer to read books instead or watch / listen to whoever is in question directly, media merely act as a filter, to remove or spin the information that wouldn't suit their narrative.
What one may find shocking though is I don't see that something like Breitbart would be in any way worse or more biased than say NYT or Washington Post.
Only one side is presented with all those, some issues are never discussed or spoken about. One sided, emotionally appealing, often semi-fake narratives presented non stop.
The power of Breitbart is that most of the other media make it way too easy for them, as they are blind and deaf to anything politically incorrect, and do not report reality.
Labeling is present in all these PC media (everyone not in our team is immediately a "populist" "far right" etc.) - this is absolutely reminiscent of the old socialist censorship and journalism btw. as everybody from the other side of the barricade was "imperialist" "diversant" etc. There are hit pieces, character assassinations, straight up lies.
The McCarthy era returned except we don't hunt for communists but for all kinds of "-ists" and anybody who prefers their own culture as opposed to surrendering it to the mandated "diversity" is immediately labeled as "far-right".
And anytime I quote something from a news source I have to now state something like "if the reported is true" because they were all caught, if not straight up lying, then fabricating and spinning facts, and routinely using all kinds of "expert opinions" to fill the rest of the space in order to suit their narrative.
