DISCLAIMER:
I read from a variety of sources; however, I cannot vouch for the veracity of content. I have no pecuniary or other interest in any of the following.
The mainstream channels, including:
BBC
France 24
Al Jazeera
Russia Today
CNN
When watched/read together you can soon work out which way they lean and get some balanced idea.
If you start to add in:
The Times
The Wall Street Journal
The New York Times
The Washington Post
The Guardian
The Independent and
The Telegraph,
you start to get a feel for the grass roots stories, but it's still editorialised to some extent.
Going to
Reuters,
Associated Press or similar, may get you closer to the origin of the story.
I also regularly read from:
Information Clearing House, and
Consortium News
for looking beyond the "Mass Media Hysteria" whipping up the pitchfork wielding mob.
I occasionally look at:
Truth Out
The Real News
Alternative News
Blacklisted News and
Alternet
You can search for further independent news via Google and also Good Gopher although the latter lists Trump News as a feed source

Enjoy the rabbit hole, Alice!
I also read up on global history and economics to understand how past events unfolded and how we an learn from them today. Thus, my comments that we've been through very similar events economically, politically and diplomatically within the past 100 years or so.
I profess no expertise whatsoever.
