    For American news coverage: The Associated Press, NPR, PBS. All free.

    Although for a story like this, the local paper is often a good bet and is sometimes free. It is definitely free in this case and has far more information: https://www.sltrib.com/news/2024/07/20/salt-lake-city-evacuations/

    Bias in a story like this isn’t a big deal, but it can be in other cases and it’s best to avoid what is essentially a government mouthpiece.

      I think you misunderstood me, when I said free I meant that they licensed under creative commons and I am sorry for not clarifying that.

      I don’t like to follow news from news sources that do not license their content freely.

        They’re licensing their content freely because it’s a government mouthpiece. Of course they want you to use it.

        You are, again, trusting a source run by a congressionally-funded “independent” group that broadcasts propaganda to Cuba. And your reasoning is because it’s published under a CC license?

        If Stormfront published articles under a CC license, would you use them? Because otherwise, that seems like terrible reasoning.
