What sources do you use for news? (lemmy.ml)

I always struggle with what sources I should be reading for news (particularly political news). I don't want to read only sources that I agree with, but I also struggle finding news sources that aren't sensationalist and put forward varied view points. Here are a few of the places I frequent (criticism of these sources or other recommendations are welcome.) I don't think my political news sources are well varied so any recommendations there would be great as well.

hackernews
arstechnica
the economist
axios
MIT News
Wired

Here's a good discussion on why you should vary your news sources along with some charts to show how sources vary and specific examples given. Maybe you can find what you're looking for in there.
