Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

What are your most favorite reliably factual non-MSM news sources? Here are my picks; Belle of the Ranch - short, ANONYMOUS News - longer and MeidasTouch - longest.
There's The Intercept, Common Dreams, and The New Republic for article based news.
Zeteo does both articles and video.
As far as short form podcasts/YouTube shows go, there's The Bitchuation Room and The Damage Report, for medium/long form there's Some More News and Even More News.
And before you dismiss most of them because they're clearly biased in favor of left wing viewpoints, I'm gonna remind you that your criteria was factual accuracy, which isn't mutually exclusive with honest and transparent bias as long as your bias isn't toward counterfactuality AKA lying.
Or put another way: we all have biases and the ones who are honest about them are generally much more trustworthy than the ones who try to hide them behind forced neutrality riddled with false equivalency.
Any particular reason PodSaveAmerica isn't on the list? Everything I have seen from them seems to be left leaning, factual, and relevant. That may be because I haven't subscribed though.
