Sincere question, if you consider those tabloids, which sources do you trust?
The New Yorker, for instance, famously has one of the most intense fact checking operations of any publication. If it’s a matter of your personal politics disagreeing with perceived editorial bias of those, godspeed. But at least the first three you list have a lot more to lose by getting a factual statement wrong than most.

It might feel like that having been linked directly, but it was published in the books section of the paper, which is visited by people looking for new books to read.
You might even be able to do it via userstyles thanks to the :has selector.
Edit: Generally, WaPo and NYT are quite good. Sometimes so...

Of course, for every person that has climbed out of the charnel pit, there's a thousand more that remain.

I know "editorializing" the HN headline is frowned upon but surely it would be OK in this case.
