The town crier

• APOD - start my day with some perspective
• techmeme - aggregates tech news
• memeorandum - aggregates political news
• HuffingtonPost - nice mix of serious & trashy pop culture junk
• Politico - slightly right, but very serious analysis
• Mother Jones - very left, but well-written
• Then a few thousand RSS feeds, which I read in Feedbin.
• Fediverse, Lemmy, etc.

AP, NYT, and PBS in my RSS reader

Various podcasts and YouTube videos on 2x speed while I putter about the house. I can read faster than I can listen, but I can multi-task while listening.

A series of news weirdos on social media, a critical reading of major news outlets, issue-specific advocacy groups, individual journalists on YouTube etc, and criticism orgs line FAIR

AP, BBC, and NPR for general news. Been on the hunt for some English language news covering the rest of the world and provide an outside look at US news.

Facebook feed of 60+ raptor rescues and wildlife photography groups and Google News search for owl news to post to !superbowl@lemmy.world

Lemmy Top 6 Hours for any breaking news and news about stuff I wouldn’t normally look for.

If anything really catches my eye, I’ll generally Google it to get at least one other article from a different source to get more info or a second take on the story.

I spend a couple of hours each morning with coffee exploring a majority selection of these sites to get a quality overview.

Nowhere in particular. News is comparative.

I never read articles for my news. I almost exclusively watch TLDR news on YouTube. Very impartial and intentionally neutral. Just the facts and zero inflammatory language or strong emotions, which is what I hated most about other news outlets.

They sometimes miss the nuance of certain situations but comments will usually provide sufficient insight on anything they miss.

CBC and Lemmy

Lemmy, lemmy and lemmy

I try to cross-reference things and then look at the critical angles. Public media generally has higher editorial standards for me. I don’t trust right-wing sources or the New York Times because they lack editorial standards. State media I don’t trust for domestic issues, but while I don’t go to Al Jazeera for news about Qatar I trust their coverage of Palestine and France. I try to avoid sources that have an involved stake in the conflict, so something like Ukraine means no RT/Pravda but I’ll watch the primary footage coming off Telegram and then compare it to multiple countries’ coverage of it. I try to stay dialectical with all of it, so I’m cognizant of the history and material/social angles which create the issue and the biases of those covering it. I’ll read a socialist article but I don’t want to uncritically agree with news so that’s more supplemental unless the media hasn’t yet/won’t cover it.

Otherwise I listen to a lot of podcasts that are leftist or left-liberal, keep a critical eye on social media coverage, and follow scientific journals/niche science websites that summarise those journal articles without editorialising.

Lemmy, so it’s often outdated or wrong.

I don’t go out of my way to get news, so social media/Lemmy. Except for local news, which I do follow more closely. But that’s it.
