I just like having some curated news that I can read a physical copy of. All the mainstream newspapers like WSJ and NYT seem to all give the same one-sided perspective on global news.

    Yeah, I read the Financial Times for two reasons. 1. Know your enemy. 2. The capital class actually need reliable info to make investment decisions, so it's often more accurate and less dripping in propaganda than other newspapers.

      That's what I've heard so I tried out FT but as far as global news it's the same as other mainstream papers. For example on the balloon news a couple weeks ago it was just interviewing anonymous "experts" and no pushback on that.

        I still maintain it has less of that, especially around non-foreign policy stuff but yeah it's still not great. I let my (heavily discounted) subscription lapse a year or so ago to be fair. Before the Ukraine war.
