Just wondering your preferences
The Onion. No need for further explanation.
Me too. I seriously go to The Onion for news. I started doing it as a joke, but then realized what people want to laugh about gave a much more honest picture of what people actually cared about on a daily basis. I live outside the USA so it’s not otherwise obvious to me. It truly is America’s Finest News Source.
The court jester is the only one allowed to tell the truth about the king, I guess.
I learn to use RSS and now use an app like feeder for android that gathers news from the places I want without an algorithm deciding for me.
I like tech so mostly Ars Technical , Android authority , XDA Developers , Its FOSS , Torrentfreak.
Theres this tiktok account that reports using the ai voice of the newscaster fish from spongebob. Surprisingly intresting news from that.
Ah yes, @bikini.bottom.news!
NPR, AP, an Reuters are already mentioned. For leftist/left leaning sources I like Jacobin, truth out, it’s going down, Jewish currents, current affairs, the intercept, democracy now, mintpress news (more Canadian centered), and left voice
The Economist
Not for breaking news perhaps, but for in-depth analysis and critical commentary the Economist is in a class of it’s own. It’s the only news magazine I subscribe to. They don’t dumb down stories, they treat their readers as adults and they scrupulously avoid sensationalism. The standard of written English is exceptional, (something for which it is renowned). And I love the humor in some of the regular columns. The whole magazine is a joy to read from Letters to Obituaries. 10/10
It is also important because, while there is bias against Russia, the newspaper generally does a good job reporting on taking a step back from the issue to provide something more nuanced than typical news sources.
It also will write articles defending welfare spending if it finds a reason to do so, which it often finds.
Mostly the wire services (Reuters, AP).
AOL news. Yes, it still exists.
One day I just decided news didn’t exist and stopped reading any of it. Last I checked it was 1992 and they invented moon pies. What a time to be alive.
Lemmy for tech stufff
https://orf.at for everything elseAllSides
tl;dr news and ground news sometimes i find instresting topics on google discover also i mostly find about data breaches by mental outlaw + lemmy may have instresting news
I like Liberation News and Common Dreams
DW News, AP, Reuters, BBC (which I sometimes feel doesn’t belong in this list).
Google News is my usual browse, then AP, Reuters, or axios. Radio npr. Tv msnbc but i get tired of the pundits.
NYTimes
