>It's pretty hard to find opinion writers that are even worth reading today, they're all boring rich normies
I'll see these opinion writers who I've never heard of and they seem like rich girls whose dads own hedge funds.

>Beyond that I am a subscriber to Foreign Affairs, although you probably wont like the publication unless you have a background/special interest in IR.
I'll look at that sometimes when I want to read about what's going on with the Sudanese Civil War or something. It's like reading a think tank.

I do Times of Israel.

>The actual content of articles is unimportant.
I have a similar approach yeah, but I'd say there can be some context that gets lost in the headlines and gets shoved halfway down the article. I've written for papers and magazines (not about politics), and editors want a very tight, punchy lede and a graf close to that explaining what's new and why is it important. I usually found that to be the hardest part and it was the rest of the story that wrote itself. The lower down the article you go, the more you run into the writer's background filler to meet 650 or 1200 words or whatever the editor wanted.
There are different types of stories too. There's a certain cycle to the news, and there are stories like "trend pieces" which is not about anything new. Like all these stories about "young men are turning to the right." That's a trend piece.
