Without irony, I actually find the South China Morning Post probably the most unbiased, straight on US news.

It also acts as a filter for important US events since they aren't motivated to put out 24/7 bullshit like US based news.

Major US news organizations, be it right or left leaning are just complete trash. Not much higher standards than the National Enquirer at the grocery check out line.

I can't blame the news organizations though since news/politics have become a type of dominate team sport for entertainment in the US in the last decade. Really only second in popularity to the NFL.

Having lived in Hong Kong for a significant portion of my life, I have a soft spot for the SCMP. However it is owned by Alibaba now, so effectively an arm of the CCP.

Use it wisely to bias western propaganda with eastern.
