'More reputable' is subjective based on your own bubble and frame of reference. The OP's link is 'right biased' your link is 'left biased'. I generally try to read a little bit of everything, with a huge grain of salt, and there is no way to read this action as anything other than 'oppressive' imo. Just look at the whole lab leak fiasco for a very recent example of why this type of censorship is awful for both truth and science.

Sadly I've not found a news source that simply reports known facts.

The politico link referenced was linked as the source of information in the zerohedge article OP submitted.

You will never find this, because it can not exist.

There are so many variables. Not just word choice, but which facts do you report? If something is highly important, but you only have about 60% certainty, how do you share that?

Your only option is to triangulate.

First, my political views are right-wing.

Second, while Zero Hedge does report on interesting/lesser known stories, they take very strong opinions on the story.

For example, "Trying to 'fact check' people’s personal conversations is utterly demented." While I wholeheartedly agree with that sentence, it is nonetheless an opinion, not a fact.

Where possible, I prefer articles that state facts and leave the opinion-making to the reader.
