Reuters is pretty good. No autoplay vids, only 1-2 quiet ads an article, and is mainly cut-and-dry news.

No news source is 100% reliable, but I can easily see AI picking up bad information or misinterpreting human text. Nothing wrong with AI news by itself, but it's a good habit to verify any source by yourself.

Regardless I recommend UBlock for any device or browser. Ads are over the line nowadays so I don't feel bad blocking them when possible.
