9. Meeting Amy only increased MY enthusiasm for DN
Like others, I'm perplexed as to why meeting her discouraged you from listening/watching her show. I've met her before. Twice in fact. She is dogged and dedicated, of course, but she also seemed remarkably authentic and friendly.

To answer your original question, I think a good and credible news source is actually multiple sources.

Although MSM TV news is dreck and should be avoided at all costs (unless you closely follow stories about endangered blonde girls), all news sources have blind spots and axes to grind. For that reason, it's good to consult multiple sources and, if possible, from multiple countries. It's a bonus if you can read and understand a foreign language because there's a lot of interesting news that's hidden out in plain sight because so many Americans are unable to speak a second language.
