This is a free news aggregator and news analysis site developed by a group of researchers at MIT and elsewhere to improve your access to trustworthy news. Many website algorithms push you (for ad revenue) into a filter bubble by reinforcing the narratives you impulse-click on. By understanding other people’s arguments, you understand why they do what they do – and have a better chance of persuading them.
Holy shit that's awesome. This may become my goto when linking stories to the Fediverse.
Do you know of anyway to add this to an RSS feed?
This sounds cool, lemme check it out
First glance and already impressed with the details + mobile friendly view. Thanks for the pointer!
Fascinating! Thanks for the link. This is the sort of thing I was hoping for.
You guys don't let a bunch of strangers in the internet curate the news for you, then fight them in the comments?
Well, actually, that's exactly what I do.
Absolutely not. I upvote all the people I agree with initially then down vote the dumbass who tried to go against us in our own thread!
Get your own damn thread down lower! Quit mooching our beans way up at the top.
AP, unless the article is about a protest
Aljazeera, unless the article is about Qatar
Reuters, unless the article is about non-G20 countries
BBC, unless the article is about the UK
CBC, unless the article is about Canada
I listen to NPR Up First podcast. The give you a nice overview in 10 minutes. https://www.npr.org/podcasts/510318/up-first
The streets. You can’t trust newspapers, tv, social media. But the streets, the streets you can always trust.
...Wouldn't most people in the streets be getting their news from tv and social media?
reddit, lets be honest. we wouldnt be here if that wasnt our main source

Left, center, and right. Shows all sides.
It shows "all sides" from a distinctly far-right perspective.
The fact that Paul Krugman is considered "the Left" says so much about why the US is the way that it is
NPR, Reuters, the AP, occasionally NYT or WaPo, Forbes, Business Insider, various tech blogs, local news channels, etc.
We’re pretty much the same although I ditched WaPo cause Bezos.
I do add the BBC and France24 if there’s a large international story breaking.
I don't. I try to life in blissful arrogance despite knowning that the world around me is going to heck. I only care about local news that considers my city.
I don't read any news because they are all negative.
I use RSS to aggregate articles from different news sites. my feed's a bit nascent at the moment, though.
Ground news
I'm subscribed to three publications: The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Foreign Affairs. I regularly read articles from The Atlantic, The New Yorker, Foreign Policy, The Diplomat, and other publications like ProPublica. I also read academic blogs on journalism, nuclear weapons, and other topics. I follow a lot of academics and experts on Twitter to get their hot takes.
Shameless plug, c/moderate_politics :)
I like watching Phillip DeFranco in ~~YouTube~~ Invidious. When covering major stories he is very good at delivering crutial information simply and quickly, and while he does have opinions, they are always very transparent, so you can spot the bias from the facts. Also, he has a habit of correcting the rare mistakes this beautiful bastard makes.
Ah I remember watching him years ago, good to know he's still around. Although it looks like he does more internet drama videos rather than real-world news
It's 50/50, he normally covers drama news first, and saves the big stories for the back end, he always includes timestamps, so if that's not your thing you can skip around.
Theory night in Canada podcast
Somehow I always gravitate to the Atlantic ... so much that I actually felt bad after years of refreshing my browser for free articles, and now I actually pay real American dollars for a subscription.
Also, a few ultra local and free newspapers that with an online presence, especially when I'm in the mood to escape depressing national / international news.
I figure anything important I will either hear about or see on ~reddit~ Lemmy.
NYT, Wapo, NPR.
App called ground news. Gives both sides of the spectrum.
like a lot of people I found feedly.com around the time of Spez's ama and have been using threads like this to populate my feed.
Slashdot is still good btw
I'm in Canada, where the tech giants just blocked all Canadian media outlets due to new media profit sharing legislation.
I get my news from:
I haven't been as invested in news lately, but this looks a little promising: https://dailycanada.ca/ It's an rss feed from all media outlets in Canada.
