IMO they’re less bad than a lot of American outlets, but they’re by no means perfect. I use them as one input of many.
Put another way: there is no single source of news that I would ever trust 100%. Observing the patterns and trying to get a handle on the bias that any particular event is being spun with is frankly far more useful if you want to actually understand the nuance and context of current events.
Of course, if you’re just looking for that dopamine hit of intense emotion/scary things/daily hour of hate, enjoy MSNBC or Fox or whatever (I straight up do not trust pretty much any TV-focused news org - pretty much all of them seem to have devolved into overt propaganda operations, some of which are more obvious than others).
