What news source or sources are you go tos

Typically i’l pick 2 sources from each political leaning

2 news sources from the far alt left, 2 others from center and lastly two others from the alt right, and il just scroll past the news articles for that day on all them once every day to get mainstreem news from all perspectives.

I feel Center leaning news alone isn’t enough but can be useful at times to get straight facts with little political bias. While left leaning news sources are pro for lgbt I hadn’t seemed to find any far left sites that actively cover tech news. I had to make a sacrifise and make one of my sites a site that just leans to the left. Nbc news. Just to get some new content. Wheres the news for tech left sites? Or am I missing a concept here? I dont really like the alt right sites thaat much but sometimes they can have a good point when they are not talking against lgbtq+:people. Obviosly I wont agree with everything as I look at the news from left to right as a whole.

In short I follow abit of everything from left to alt right not just the center.

What do you all choose for news?

bionicjoey,

CBC is pretty good at covering most topics that are relevant to me.

The Onion

Memes

Fediverse comments: I sort them out in my mind to distinguish truth from rubbish schizophrenics

Treczoks,

Why not just go to sources that don't have a real leaning? OK, they are hard to find, but they still do exist. Try the BBC for an English-speaking source, or ARD and ZDF in German.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

All of them. It helps to compare.

Ground News

LeftHandedWave,

This is the one I like. It not only gives you Left, Center or Right leaning articles, it also tells you how factual the new source that you’re looking at is

Nollij,

Only in the paid version.

That said, simply comparing the headline across sources will tell you an awful lot about how factual they are.

pastermil,

I read mostly tech news these days.

Ars Technica, anyone?

Ars Technica

They have been great for a long time.

The comments section there has some serious subject matter experts on a wide range of technology.

rhacer,

I have no traditional news sources. I subscribe to Quillette, Taibbi, Greenwald, The Free Press, and Sullivan. I regularly read Caitlin Johnstone and Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

nottheengineer,

I just use hacker news for tech stuff. If an article on there is BS, you can be sure that someone will call that out in the comments after about 5 minutes. And if not, there’s almost always a good discussion with very few insults.

NPR mostly

NPR stays pretty lean on the editorials and opinions. I’m not big on the panel discussion from the 24/7 news companies like Fox, CNN, MSNBC, etc. Not that they don’t have a bias, but they more or less let you make up your own mind.

rob299,

I feel the reason why cnn or fox have panel discusions is because they are made for tv and with for profit motive. While Npr is a nonptofit and made for radio. Radio allows npr to easily and cheaply role the news live practically 24/7 and it just opens them up to do more. While with tv news its more expensive, and they dont really have as much freedom but the auduence is larger. Tv news has to more desperately make the money back they spent.

There are a few sites that do the same thing but I find All Sides to be a very quick way to know how biased a news topic is and what neutral really is.

All Sides Media Bias Chart and How they score

rob299,

Allsides is the one I usually use, not by choice it’s the first resualt when I search for news bias chart. By news topic, you mean the news source or the topic?

QuarterSwede,
@QuarterSwede@lemmy.world avatar

I mean topic as in what happened.

I just took a quick look at All Sides. How does it compare to Media Bias/Fact Check? I don't know how to "fact check" either one of these sources but that's what I have to do so.

Thanks for sharing All Sides, it is new to me.
