I want to delete reddit but I like following worldnews and politics to get a general feel of what's happening. Yeah it's all libshit but my radicalization is a fairly new development
I use an RSS reader called commafeed and follow feeds from
https://organizing.work/feed/
https://www.labornotes.org/feed
http://www.counterpunch.org/feed/
https://redfish.media/feed/
https://unicornriot.ninja/feed/
http://inthesetimes.com/rss
http://www.thebaffler.com/feed
http://fair.org/feed/
along with some of the other "leftish" sites listed in the other comments.
OH! Also, don't sleep on using Google Alerts for keywords like nationalization or other stuff that interests you and of course every youtube channel has an rss feed you can follow. I've got all my feeds separated into different categories that interest me so I can just go from category to category and get a bird's eye view of what's going on in each industry.
Yeah I wrote a comment saying that I'm aware there's no unbiased news, it's just that I already have places for news with conservative bias or liberal bias but nothing with left bias. Like they post some straight up lies sometimes but I've found the Guardian to be pretty okay with Biden critique.
The Grayzone, breakthrough news, black agenda report, mint press news, moon of Alabama, and I do read mainstream news but so that I know what isn't happening.
The Nation is a decent radlib one, they occasionally break some really important stories.
Also liberation news, CGTN (for China stuff), and Telesur (for south American stuff).
If you want some communist party papers, KCNA (published in English as Pyongyang Times), and Granma are the papers of the DPRK and Cuban communist parties. Usually pretty biased, but also they're the only ones to report on a lot of internal goings on in those countries as no international outlets really can.
:porky-scared-flipped: noooooo you cant investigate where the xinjiang allegatiorinooos came from, stop livestreaming the capitol riot and interviewing Maduro you have to manufacture consent for imperial war noooooooooooooooooo
The Economist, because I'm a British millionaire
:capitalist-laugh:
Democracy Now!, Jacobin, and Current Affairs are pretty good. I still read NYT, WaPo, AP, etc. but just read them critically.
If you just skim the headlines in NYT or WaPo, then look up a better source for the article of interest
Yeah this is a pretty solid list. Current Affairs more for opinion than news, but at the same time CA is probably the best at teaching you how to read NYT, WaPo, AP, etc since you can get good information out of those if you know what you’re doing.
There is a bunch of stuff that other people have mentioned but really you don't have to and probably shouldn't just read those and nothing else. Mainstream outlets that aren't on the completely wack side of the mainstream like Reuters are fine to be read critically, it's just that you have to know that in certain topics it's gonna be nonsense and you should look at what the leftist outlets are saying about the same topics.
Also redfish doesn't quite have news exactly but it has nice updates and short videos on stuff happening all over the world.
Oh for sure, I don't plan on just reading news to reaffirm my beliefs. It's just that I have only been exposed to mainstream media so other than Jacobin, I didn't really have a place to see news with a left-bias. Also I've run into the issue where lots of the news sites I currently use straight up don't mention things that don't cater to to the US. Like you said tho anything must be read critically
Oh yeah Jacobin is one decent outlet, another is redfish as I said but that is not quite a news outlet, just a fun thing for updates on various stuff, some smaller blog type stuff, Le Monde diplomatique is decent, some other stuff in other languages... Things like Grayzone etc you should be careful with because while they often have great stuff they're also pretty much propaganda and while they can be useful as such, they won't always really say what's going on or anything like that. For instance, the Nagorno Karrabakh invasion was a pretty big thing that happened recently but all Grayzone had about it was some article about how it made the Syrian mercs that Erdogan used sad or something. Grayzone is focused more on promoting Russian foreign policy so of course they're not gonna care much to cover the whole thing. There is a similar obvious bias with stuff like Telesur but they are generally better than the mainstream American shit.
Huh, I didn't know that about Grayzone, thanks for the info then. I'll check out redfish too, world news is one of the things I'm trying to learn more about so sounds useful.
Is that the one that defended Weinstein?
Edit: yep
A partial guilty verdict was achieved through subjecting the jury pool to a torrent of media filth and creating an intensely hostile climate in the courtroom, aided and abetted by a trial judge who manipulated the proceedings in such a manner as to prejudice the jury and ensure Weinstein’s conviction.
The testimony of the three principal witnesses, Annabella Sciorra, Mimi Haley and Jessica Mann, was full of inconsistencies, gaps and implausibilities. Each of these women maintained long-term and friendly relations with Weinstein for years following the alleged attacks, asking him for jobs and favors, not indicating in a single email or text they were his victims.
