More to the point: where does anybody go for any reliable news? It seems like most news is now using hyperbole to make it entertainment. We have old man Rupert to thank for basically destroying a respected profession. That's my 0.02 anyhow.
I find these two to be good for finding sources with different perspectives:
https://www.allsides.com/
https://ground.news/
After some time, you might see that there are a few specific sites that you like, and you can just start going to them directly.
The Flipside is also excellent at providing balanced views and counterpoints. It’s a newsletter rather than a site though. (Full disclosure: that’s a referral link. I figured why not).
I’m also partial to The Week which also presents a wide array of views - though it admittedly leans left.
I've been getting flipside emails for a while now. I really like them.
