Can’t say I know too much about all of these but I have already blacklisted the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.

They might still be useful albeit imperfect.  What did you find insufficient to your taste and standards?

The WSJ attempted to paint YouTuber PewDiePie as a racist and the NYT gave Hillary Clinton their official endorsement during the 2016 election cycle.

Never trust in just one source. A good practice is use all of them and then draw your own conclusions. The more sources you have the better your conclusions are.
