Very hard to find, because it's not a hard factual area like medicine. Take a page from anthropologists and look for a variety of primary sources, or sources that do good analysis albeit with known (or explicit) bias.

Personally, for anything international and important I like to mix BBC (known bias), Al Jazeera International (different known bias), and Economist (explicit bias, in-depth analysis). Your tastes may differ.

I'm an American living outside the US and literally the only TV station I watch is Al Jazeera English. It agrees with my tastes more, yes, but they also have documentaries about all kinds of things throughout the day.

And somehow politics ~= news. That was the first meaning of journalism, relating politics.

I don't have one 'yet'; I read accounts of people living in the countries I want to know (most recently the Turkey failed coup), you get a lot more details. You also have more than one viewpoint. In the case of Turkey, Gullen movement which is depicted as repressed political opposition in the western world, is seen as scientology in Turkey. It's harder to conclude, but I prefer to have many sources of dense data to handle rather than one shallow conclusion.

Stratfor is the FT of geopolitics. Specialized press, much better than mainstream media with its mediocrity bias (sensationalism).
