Oh, Raw Story is great for original sources. Alternet makes me cringe a lot but they are often well-sourced, even if shrill. Slate - a little more careful, a little less shrill, but it's certainly not embarrassed about it's slant.
But yes, often the nature of the topic will force a partisan or sketchy source as a starting point. Fortunately, the platform allows us to bolster those links with something more - and if you like, you could create a native snap and write a better story under your own byline compiled from various sources.
But come to think of it, I've found RT.Com to be good - as long as it has nothing at all to do with Russian foreign policy interests, or if you actually WANT the official Russian line for some reason.
