Where do y'all get your news
(hexbear.net)
I don't. I'm a newscel. I'm taking a tolerance break.
My wrists are too thin to be able to hold up the New York Times Sunday edition.
I'm a liberal.
I'm an incel.
My wrists are thin,
And my dick is small.
This is the straight-gay life.
Beggin' for a wife.
Feels bad to be a liberal.
Is this better or worse than being a thicc wristed Trot who trains pamphlets all day
Hell yeah, let's give it up for the newscels
Some of you need to cough it up and reveal the news goods, because every now and again I come across one of you lovable dorks that can tell me every recently elected member of some remote 150-pop hamlet's Liberation Party, their star sign, and their policy positions. Hand over the news sources 
I’ma media anthropologist
Literally 72trillion
News now is just voyeuristic ragebait to increase ad revenue. I just skim headlines on lemmy tbh
can't argue with that tbh
hexbear.net
!news@hexbear.net mega
But also I have a shit load of rss feeds I have slowly collected. There is no one site to go to tho, you gotta sift through the shit
here, nerd.
hexbear, local stuff from local outlets via rss and email, plus secondhand
hexbear and twitter communists are my legit main sources of news
astral projection
I get mine from deciphering coincidences that happen around me, as well as occurences of words in a sequence that was revealed to me in dreams by an angelic alien species at the age of 7. Also I listen to every episode of My Little Pony in reverse to catch the secret messages the show's producer hides for me.
Chapo.chat
I hate scroll NY Times and hate watch MSNBC 50-60 hours a day.
CGTN, Telesur, various small independent outlets (their twitters/telegrams mostly), mintpress, and Hexbear's news megathread.
I try to keep off lib shit for my mental health, the exception being the osint telegrams for war stuff. Any time I turn on BBC or Sky or something I end up shouting at the tv and feel my blood pressure go through the roof it's really not healthy.
Same problem here tbh. I don't want to watch youtube videos or listen to podcasts. Can I just get some socialist newsletter delivered to my inbox daily/weekly?
Yes, exactly. that would be perfect!
Tiktok, here, and the podcasts Chapo Trap House and Trashfuture
Have you found a bootleg for TF? kingdex hasn’t had a seeder for it in quite some time.
their bootleg rss was on podcastindex for awhile, not sure if it still is
Thanks, didn’t know that existed.
telesur english
From Mercury mostly
Why read the news when you can make the news?
real answer
I’ve just got a bookmark folder that I add every site I find in the news mega too.
Bonus points if it has an RSS feed
boomer status confirmed
If it affects you, you will hear about it anyway. All other interesting news happened decades ago. Unplug from the torment nexus
I watch mainstream news every 2-3 days. Just the daily news in my country for 15min besides that -this place. Also first thought on youtube does leftist news in 6mins every 2nd day.
I like peoplesworld when I remember it exists.
FT, Jacobin, mike from Pa on twitch, here
Tbh I get a fair amount from here and my leftist online friends. I do fairly frequently check up on lib news just to see what they're up to though. I do have a few others I check sometimes too, and I like to try and get my different world news from different places than just the US (even if it's often still kinda lib). Like I speak French and can understand Spanish well enough to read the news so for places where those are spoken I'm going to look more at sources in those languages. In terms of specific sources, Kawsachun News/Kawsachun Coca (Spanish version, doesn't have exactly the same articles as the English) are generally leftist and I think decent for Latin American stuff mostly (and Bolivia since that's where they're located)
What languages do you speak?
