Please point me to the news outlets not run by bad guys talking about how the good guys can win. I'm being serious, I need that kind of news

Give Margaret Killjoy a listen.
She's really a great journalist. Her coverage of the mutual aid in North Carolina after the recent hurricane was good. I first heard her on my favorite podcast Behind the Bastards, but I haven't listened to any Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff yet.
Plus she's from my home state!
Jon Stewart
The Green Lanturn does seem cool, but isn't he a space cop?
He's got a new live action show coming up called "Lanterns". Stewart and Jorden working together.
If you ever want good news these are some good places to start:
If I block my ears, the world can’t get me.
What?
Exactly.
I would suggest avoiding news altogether. Look into hobbies and find other ways of spending your time. Doomscrolling is like a trauma addiction. There are tons of great people in hobbies who are so nice and helpful and they’re just really glad to share their passion with you.
Well, personally I do tend to listen to a broad selection of similar outlets, but whenever something catches my interest specifically I do some light digging to verify the primary sources they're reporting on. Occasionally I'm not able to sort things out, but it's actually quite shocking how many sensational stories will fall apart almost immediately when you look even a little bit deeper. Far too often, even just reading the article itself will actually debunk it's own headline.
