Darned cockwombles.
Interested to know - I'm looking primarily for sites with a mix of news and opinion, on the left wing side of things ideally. Anything beyond the obvious major newspapers please
Its important to only pay attention to sources of news that you agree with. Build a list of people to follow who all have the same worldview as yourself. Make the internet your happy place. Then get upset when someone shares something that makes you unhappy.
I would read the Guardian but I haven't been looking so much recently and I'm glad of it. It's almost all absolute nonsense. Journalism as a real, purposeful profession basically doesn't exist any more.
Watching BBC News is like watching a bad parody of a dystopian future world.
I think they should just have a channel to cover all the brutal crime and such like, seeing as it makes up such a large portion of what the news covers. I tend to avoid the news now as I don't want to hear any more about it. There's a tendency in popular culture I find weird and prurient.
Also, I don't like seeing snuff movies and that seems to be standard fair these days*

the major papers are run by risk-averse editors
Irish Times is quite good as an alternative to the Guardian.
