Poll: Where Do you prefer to get your news from?

They say traditional journalism gets obliterated by social media.

Can someone recommend good substack journalists?

I like Ground News since they aggregate lots of news websites and show you what's being reported more on the left, right or centre. I think that's pretty useful today when everything is so political and news stopped being unbiased a long time ago. They have a blind spot section that is pretty useful too.

Usually social media then fact checking it on multiple websites

Mostly just Twitter but sometimes I see the headlines on Google Chrome when I open a new tab. I used to check Yahoo and Google News all the time.

I'm ashamed to say- satire. I can't look at many politicians without seeing their Spitting Image (puppet) counterparts.

YouTube tends to make me vaguely aware of the biggest issues going on but, I largely avoid the news. Irresponsible maybe but I truly don't want anything to do with this world.

Both traditional and social media as well.

Someone told me the other day that they get their news from /pol/ which I found hilarious

Reuters is usually a primary source of information which gets filtered through ideological news agencies like BBC, Fox News, The Guardian etc. best way to get news is to read traditional news cycles and cross check with sources of opposing ideological nature and perhaps sources outside like twitter which can add to discussion or context. A good example for me is when in Amsterdam there were alleged pograms of Jews, I read pro Palestinian sources like Al Jazeera who might fill in additional context. They underscored that these Israelis were saying racist and genocidal protests, also damaging property and assaulting Taxi drivers and that this event was not just an anti-Semitic hate crime. It was instead a reaction to Israeli Nazis in their country doing as they pleased, and getting a form of, revenge on them, as expected. This information was not payed attention to by mainstream news agencies like BBC, and now this is very well known, yet I knew of it almost immediately after the event, and it's because I read diverse news.

Memes, mainly because I don't care anymore about news but memes push them into my face lol

Sanctioned Suicide and people I interact with I guess as I don't look at much social medias (except maybe youtube but that mostly recommends me videos based off my interests) and I would rather stay ignorant of whats happening in the world. I already deal with enough shit on my own, don't need to know about problems from other people that I don't even know.
