I’m usually trusting Reuters or AP news
Though I’ve heard of ground.news and have been thinking about subscribing, DAE have experience with them? Are they as unbiased as they claim?
Reuters usually has half decent articles, but they’re owned by billionaires out of Canada. This look into them was done late last year: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/12174374
AP has some sketch board members as shown here: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/12174861
It helps that their business model doesn’t rely primarily on ads or user tracking, and instead relies on subscriptions from other news businesses. This obviously isn’t perfect as they do serve some ads, and it requires those other businesses to exist and be profitable, but it’s a helpful layer of insulation.
I like AP News a lil better than Reuters. Axios and NBC News ain’t bad either if you’re okay with using sites that skew a lil farther to the left.
Yeah, corporate media is definitely “the left.” 🙄
Publically owned or controlled (or at least majority owned and controlled) news services in major countries
CBC - in Canada (where I’m from)
PBS - in the US
NPR - in the US
ABC - Australia
BBC - in the UK
France 24 - in France
NHK - in Japan
DW - in GermanyAlthough there are criticisms for each, at the very least, they give a good guidance to relevant straight forward news without too much spin.
What about NPR in the US as well
Thanks for the reminder … added!
My local government news. Call me a sheep but since they don’t farm clicks they seem to have the most nuanced and engaging stories. For-profit news these days are just doom-posting and rage bait.
I try to stick to AP/Reuters. They tend to be more direct and less wordy. BBC, NPR, sometimes Guardian, NYT, and other news sources follow in approximately that order.
BBC Radio 4’s hourly news bulletin just before the Archers. That and BBC News headline notifications.
Not a news source, but commentary. I watch/listen to breaking points https://www.youtube.com/@breakingpoints
they cite drop site news frequently https://www.dropsitenews.com/
and I read Ken Klippenstein https://www.kenklippenstein.com/
The BBC, AP, and Reuters are a good place to start.
I like Erin in the Morning, Propublica, and Bellingcat as well, but they require additional work to parse sometimes.
Democracy now is doing excellent coverage of palestine. Also the majority report.
I don’t follow news. If it’s big enough, it will reach me some or the other way.
I’'m a big fan of Some More News on YouTube.
I got a local loud mouth who listens to Infowars
I just assume the opposite of what he says is true. So far it’s working

Of Facebook
Just the memes, and then I hear someone mention some atrocity and I understand the half of them :p
I used to be a Google News junkie, but I stopped using their products. Now, I have a more streamlined view via these two: https://www.newsminimalist.com/ https://www.boringreport.org/app
