Disabled the "articles for you" at the bottom of the new tab page on chrome, but now i'm worried i'm not going to get enough news. So what's the alternative? Google news? TV news? Physical newspaper?

Thanks for making me feel like shit guys

I mean I was mostly just going through my "news" bookmarks and filtering which ones to include. Several of these sites I might not have even clicked on in over a month, but they are there just in case. I just think they happen to be good resources. Not necessarily something I check on a daily basis.
Edit: I would say that on the regular most of my news that I don't stumble upon through the left screen on my android comes from the NPR app I have on my phone and then when I jump into the US or International thread here. And now that I think about it, Yahoo.com, because I go to the front page and then make my way to the Sports section there, so at times I'll read some news that happens to be on their front page.

I read 100% of my news. I can't imagine being satisfied on a story just by video, nor waiting around for a story I don't care about to end.

Look at these losers, I get all my news conveniently on Resetera.com :snob
-
Radio Free Europe
:dead
I mean, yes it can be seen as blatant US propaganda, but the website touches on more than just anti-russian sentiments. I don't hear much about the countries it covers (post soviet countries in asia for example) like ever from most other outlets.
-
BBC, CBC, and reddit
-
:(
Should I remove it from my bookmarks?
I mean I visited the building in Prague when I studied there and knew a few university students from Eastern Europe who had an internship there (I think one of them eventually got a job there. I wasn't a friend, but he was a familiar face). It was seen as a respected outlet. And apparently the safest building in all of Prague too lol.

You want news? Just go on Twitter. There's so much news directly from the sources your head's going to spin.
-
:-\
ok... (I wanted to believe!)
I will remove it from my bookmarks. But what would be a good source for news for countries where freedom of the press is highly restricted like say Georgia or Kyrgyzstan? Just go with AP and Reuters and AFP and such? I mean I have noticed in the past that RFE posted stories where they use them as sources. I guess that's enough
I'm feeling bad vibes towards myself for putting on the blinders. *sigh* Appreciate being called out though
-
No need for bad vibes, Esch went cold turkey on propaganda and look what it did to him.
-
I suppose what my draw to RFE was, was that it would cover human rights and injustices in these relatively uncovered country by THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA. Mediabias had it rated highly in terms of factualism last time I looked some time back too.
Fuck man...
whatever. I removed it from my bookmarks. I'll just use other sources for these respective "shithole" countries.
-
Not a single mention of the new yorker ITT so far
plebs :snob
Because they have a paywall after like 2 articles. So I removed them from my bookmarks last year.

This is odd since when the nyt or someone else with more clout writes a big big denounce story on why x country is bad or secretly trying to kill all of us they typically blend in previous stories or sources from Radio Free Somewhere or some other rights NGO lol.
Maybe because RFE specifically focuses on very specific 20 or so countries. Whereas NYT or any other major paper may run a story about something from that country or dealing with that country, but in general it isn't common.
Like I don't go to NYT on a daily basis. But I can't remember the last time I read any article about Kazakhstan there for example. Not because they don't run any stories about Kazakhstan, but because chances are pretty slim it will pop up on the front page of the website. Whereas if there is something about freedom of speech suppression or conflict between some group of people being oppressed by the government it will likely be on the front page of RFE.
Just a luck of the draw where the NYT is playing with a full deck of cards and RFE is only playing with a smaller deck so yeah I mean I was more bound to bump into Bulgaria news on RFE rather than BBC or NYT or DW.
Edit: I guess on another note, why I had a bit of a more trusting view of RFE was because from time to time their journalists or correspondents would be abducted or terrorized for certain things they would cover in countries with lesser amounts of freedom of the press. So I took it as a positive. Not that I was happy that person X was facing possible death or torture. But that they were pressing on some topic enough where someone would go as far as to take such a violent step to silence them.

I also get news from NPR and listen to NPR radio and podcasts which also means I listen to BBC broadcasts because NPR could to them at some points

lawl the new yorker is 99% middlebrow garbage selling the illusion of sophistication to rubes

Sorta depends what you're looking for
Local news is pretty criminally overlooked considering it's stuff that actually might be relevant to your life. For international coverage American outlets are near universally terrible.
-
Never use American outlets for anything international unless it's frontline.
-
lol news.
As if anything happening after 1945 actually mattered. :heh

Electoral politik (especially American) centric but when you click through onto articles lots of sites have "top stories" along the side so you can get a jist of what everyone's currently obsessed with. Same when I go to say, RCP's new polls page, they got all kinds of dumb stuff along the side like random sports or celebs and whatever video Nintex will post in a few hours.
The "discussion" links when you click the + can often be as useful as the topline articles spawning the thread, especially if they're paywalled.
I don't really visit them but they have the same kind of site for:
"Tech" - https://www.techmeme.com/
"Media" - https://www.mediagazer.com/
Celebs - https://www.wesmirch.com/

Oh, and of course, https://thelibertydaily.com/ since Drudge sold out to DEEP STATE GLOBALIST CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE INTERESTS that oppose OUR President.

Why bother
-
NYT and WSJ. Papers of record in the US. Not perfect but get a diverse understanding of left and right, business and the arts. I also enjoy NYT’s The Daily podcast
NPR. For local and US stuff
Democracy Now. For my socialist tendencies
TYT. Lefty talk radio basically. Entertaining.
