Al Jazeera, Telasur, and CBC for the most part, though no where is perfect and all have their blindspots/weaker areas. Plus a bunch of assorted other sources on a lesser basis (BBC, guardian, independent, fox if I want a peek into brain) and hexbear news megas of course

Sometimes I use an app called Flipboard, but mostly I watch news channels on YouTube. (The big news channels, like ABC and NBC, not “Skeeter’s News Show”.)

Rarely I’ll actually buy a copy of USA Today at the grocery store. I used to get it delivered every day, but they took my house off their route.

And I also run across a lot of articles here on Lemmy.

Here lol

I listen to old ladies at the supermarket from across the aisle

Tangential: I bought a paper newspaper recently. It cost $2 for a weekday paper. I remember when that was $0.25 and the Sunday paper was $2.

Apple News+ comes with my icloud subscription so I listen to the Apple News daily and read their articles

The consensus I’ve learned is to read, read, read.

Try to be as careful as you can with sources and facts and reliable verified journalists.

Then read a whole bunch more.

Question your sources, question what you’re reading and question yourself.

Then draw your own conclusions from the information you’ve read. You may get it wrong but realize that no one ever fully gets it right.

The only restriction I place is that whatever it is one concludes is that it is kind, does not hate, does not endorse war, does not endorse killing. If something or someone is wanting you to feel hate, anger or fear, then you will know that you are moving away from facts.

As long as you work your hardest to stay informed, you will be more informed than most people.

As long as you’re trying, you’re doing better than the average person.

NYTimes, The Atlantic, and the Akron Beacon Journal … Plus a number of RSS feeds and lemmy content

I usually find it one way or another because I can count on people I know to talk about it, though I never seek it out.

lemmy, ycombinator, arstechnica in that order. I prefer news aggregators over individual sites.

Democracy Now

Everywhere, basically. I check several aggregators and news feeds, because everything has some sort of bias. I avoid anything with a far-right bias, though, because it’s full of Nazi propaganda and I refuse to give them the eyeballs. I do watch a few far-right watchers, though (they click so I don’t have to), in order to stay apprised of what they’re saying. (eta: people who post screenshots of threads from right-wing sites.)

I like international news sources because they seem to be slightly less biased.

Associated Press, Reuters, sometimes BBC and CBC. Most other news sources are just repackaged AP newswires with some commentary added.

AP, Propublica, Lemmy
