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
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.
Semafor.com, more executive summaries than normal news articles, which I appreciate. They both use own reporting and other sources.
Also several topic or region specific summaries of the summaries as newsletters (also reachable via web).
No deep reads here, but 99% of the time I’m not interested enough in a topic for those anyway, and if I am, I follow their links to more expensive external reporting.
Ground News. I see all of the same breaking news as anyone else who is tuned into a specific channel, but I can easily compare how the story is being spun.
It’s also nice because I can link the story to anyone, no matter their affiliation, without implicitly endorsing one outlet’s take on what to think about it.
Man… used to be twitter and I don’t have a replacement yet. You could just follow all the journalists you wanted over there it was great. But now I’m migrating away from the app.
I used Twitter too to check for the most up to date local news, but on the website the posts are not sorted chronologically anymore, so it is absolutely useless now
Morning Brew. Their daily emails give me just the right amount of news. Most of the major stories in a concise format. I usually hate emails so I was skeptical when setting this up, but I do like it
