re: Where’s the best site for news?

There is not one single source that's best.

You have to eliminate bad sites (Gateway pundit, conservative treehouse, Jacobin, etc.) that mask partisan-speculation as facts.

Then you have to aggregate sites and understand the differences in quality and partisanship. For example, the NYT and Wapo have excellent reporting quality but are clearly partisan. You have to give it a mental handicap of sorts.
