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?

      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

        Only in the paid version.

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

      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.

    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.

    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.
