News. How do you get it?
I've been getting a lot of my news from a handful of YouTubers, but too many have shifted to more live stream and extra long form content for me to keep up.
So now I'm going to switch to reading it myself, but I'm not sure where to start looking.
As much as I love ANN, that alone isn't enough.
Other than local news sites, what websites are good for reading the news?
Any good ways of skimming court cases, bill discussions (Congress, states, etc), and other govt activities more directly?
Any good aggregators out there? I will be grabbing a separate browser just to pull up news sites and catch up on the world
Bonus points for alt-media and meme news that actually uses real sources
In other words, Where does Anon get his news?

A mix of sources. ANN is obvious, plus a variety of aggregate Youtube channels and commentators. Also pew news.

It's a shame that RSS is dying. You could get an https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_feed_aggregators and see if the sites that interest you support it.

We are at a weird point of mainstream media dying, along with Facebook, and people using Twitter etc. for person to person information sharing. I don't think we have collectively decided how to get news yet. And I think we will factionalise into crowdsourced biased feeds. The best example of the later is Reddit.

Because authoritative news gets compromised, maybe we will never have authoritative news again. Just an endless supply of competing narratives that require us to each dig and decide for ourselves. Freedom isn't free.

For my news, I use Realclearpolitics, and Breitbart for domestic news, and a simple google search for European affairs. These sources are generally good at compiling relevant information, whatever you think of biases.

Usually here tbh. If the news is big enough and matters enough, it will in some way appear on here and that tells me if it matters or not. I sometimes look at news from infowars but some of what Alex Jones says is complete utter israeli propaganda while some other things are woke as fuck.

The RealClearPolitics app is a decent aggregator, there's another one I use called Politomix that pulls articles from a lot of different sources. National Review has some really insightful articles sometimes, Breitbart and Fox News are also still decent enough sources. There's enough news sources out there that it's fairly easy to get information these days, as long as you can recognize and filter out bias you can get your news from just about anywhere. Even sources like CNN and the Wash Post will give you the broad strokes of world events if you can skim past the leftist slant of the person writing. I'll even occasionally skim left-wing sources like Daily Kos and Mother Jones just to see how a particular event looks from a cuck perspective. Important thing is to learn to think critically and inform yourself as much as you can.

This is honestly better and closer to what was intended when the nation was founded, I think. In the 18th century the "press" would have referred to the literal printing press, and freedom of the press I think was originally envisioned as a freedom of publishing; that anyone with something to say and access to a press could print up and distribute a tract without having to worry about it being censored by the king or the church or whatever. The kind of one-way corporate mass-media apparatus that we think of as the "press" these days would have been inconceivable to the founders. I think in the grand scheme of things its far better to have access to too much information and to have to sift through some bullshit than it is to have too little information and to have to trust that whoever you rely on to report the news to you isn't lying or leaving stuff out.

god help me this is looking like a good idea
I just need to have the strength to filter through the utter insanity
>>150901
I've got my list of youtubers, but who do you follow for straight news aggregation and not pollitical analysis?

>Realclearpolitics
>Politomix
never heard of these before, looks like a good start
>>151469
My goal is to read/skim my news, not spend more time listening to people
At this rate I may be better off learning to skim what I want form public releases on legislationss

Maybe I should go back to hunting for political memes and researching stuff mentioned in them like the turbo-autist I am

I like to catch Philip DeFranco and WeAreChange as far as news and current events. The rest are news channels like GLOBAL news and the Liberty Hound (for politics).
