I cannot imagine getting news from Google or Facebook. It should be the same about twitter, but I follow actual journalists (and scientists, and historians), whose biases one can get to know over time, as well as local (local to me and to my parents) weather people and DOT type folks, so I get quick emergency info. I go to NPR for national news (and the local NPR stations do have some local stuff). They are often slower to jump on a story that other national outlets, but in some ways, that's a good thing - they internally require multiple sources before they put it on the web page or the radio.
The New York times and Wall Street Journal reporting is often at odds with their editorial/opinion pages (this has been true of the WSJ for decades, but not the NYT until the last few). Wapo is mixed, I find.
I get free national news online from the Miami Herald and some not Republican Texas news from the editor of the Houston paper on Twitter.
I subscribe to The Capitol, which the town newspaper of Annapolis, MD, not for their accuracy (although they seem OK), but because I was sad when their newsroom was part of a gun massacre.
I check in with The Guardian sort of regularly.
ProPublica can be good sometimes, also Vox.
I read The MarySue.
I subscribe to Teen Vogue online. It has mostly gossip and makeup with occasional hard-hitting political reporting (really).
