I always struggle with what sources I should be reading for news (particularly political news). I don’t want to read only sources that I agree with, but I also struggle finding news sources that aren’t sensationalist and put forward varied view points. Here are a few of the places I frequent (criticism of these sources or other recommendations are welcome.) I don’t think my political news sources are well varied so any recommendations there would be great as well.
- hackernews
- arstechnica
- the economist
- axios
- MIT News
- Wired
Keeping it limited to English language news sites:
teleSUR News from Venezuela, gives a very different perspective and reports many news from the global south, which are simply ignored in western media.
Ruptly If there are protests anywhere in the world, they will have videos.
Global Times From China, which will be the biggest economy in a few years. So even if you dont agree with them, its good to know what they are doing, and why.
I mean, they’re a state run media, it’s a deceptive propaganda machine that honest people should find themselves disagreeing with, they’re only useful for knowing what the CCP is doing, and maybe getting a glimpse at why, but usually, the “why” is a lie.
I’d trust them as much as I trust Fox News to give me the truth.
