I don't know of any reputable outlets.

Zing.

I agree it is harder to separate the nefarious from the promotional now than it was decades ago.

This is true. I know there are some outlets that are trying straight news but it's struggling to catch on. I think people are so cynical now they don't trust the outlet unless they can easily identify the slant.

Some just want to reinforce their perceptions. Personally I browse BBC, CNN and Fox every day. That way I get the stories the others ignore and the different slants on the stories they all cover. I find in doing so it's much easier to identify the slants and leans.

Am I the Huffington Post now? I asked chat GPT if Santa was racist. I think I'll copy and paste this and submit it.

"The modern-day character of Santa Claus is not inherently racist. However, some of the traditions and depictions of Santa Claus have been criticized for perpetuating racist stereotypes.
For example, some people have argued that the depiction of Santa Claus as a jolly old white man reinforces the idea that white people are the norm and the default image of Christmas. Additionally, some of the characters associated with Santa Claus, such as his helpers or "elves," have been depicted in ways that are offensive or stereotypical to certain racial or ethnic groups.
It's important to remember that cultural symbols and traditions can evolve over time, and it's up to us to challenge and address any harmful or discriminatory aspects that may be present. We should strive to make sure that the images and stories we share during the holiday season are inclusive and respectful of all people."

So Santa needs to take a diversity/equality workshop? Feel Chat GPT missed an AOC like opportunity to talk about how Santa markets tax brackets.

Racist indeed and quite divisive. If they insist on having separate ceremonies for those 5 groups, why not a separate ceremony for whites? Riddle me that one, Batman

Try “can black people be racist” and see the essay that spits out.

Maybe I can help with that. Far rightists of whatever ethnic, are, basically, Abbadon's children. Candance Ownes, a far right, Black female Trumper, who like her master, is not only racist and mocks disabled people as he does, is proof. The children of Abbadon are haters and racists by nature. Candance, is so racist she even hates herself. The answer to your question is YES. Black people can be, and quite a few are, racists. Bigots come in all shades, size, gender, mental deficiencies. In an explicit sense, everybody is a racist. We butter it up by using the term, ethnocentric. It's not a bad thing in and of itself. It's when you use it as a bludgeon or excuse for being discriminatory, violent, and just plain evil that it truly becomes racist.

the full digital blackface article

What's 'digital blackface?' And why is it wrong when White people use it? | CNN

If you’re Black and you’ve shared such images online, you get a pass. But if you’re White, you may have inadvertently perpetuated one of the most insidious forms of contemporary racism.

Put simply: digital blackface is 21st-century minstrelsy.

and

It’s a tough question. But in the meantime, if you are a White person who is contemplating using a “hold my wig” GIF, you should consider the advice Jackson offers in her Teen Vogue essay to White people who playact being Black online.

Jackson writes:

“If you find yourself always reaching for a black face to release your inner sass monster, maybe consider going the extra country mile and pick this nice Taylor Swift GIF instead.”

so the last part appears to use a stereotype that racist whites are country people (go the extra country mile) and there's no admonition that POC not use memes from outside their race.
