Curious to get the pulse from lemmy on where y’all look to for your various sources of news.
The Guardian, Democracy Now, and /r/politics
democracy now! is legit a core news reporting source for many unreported and underreported stories. thumbs up for DN!
edit: add link
This sounded good and it says it reports global news, but every story on the front page is US centric?
It’s definitely intended for US audiences. They do long-running features on topics like the war in Gaza, and they touch on important global events like contested elections, but its perspective is rooted in progressive US politics.
The Tyee, The Daily Show, late night w/ Seth Meyers, The Guardian, and Legal Eagle.
LE is a good one.

OK, partly off topic: I’m new here and in the fediverse in general. Trying to find out what is what and where I want to be part of.
So I figure I go to Ask Lemmy, where I see your question and found it interesting.
To my surprise, since I was under the impression lemmy.ml was a real leftist place I see mostly horrible MSM sources.
Was I wrong?While what you said isn’t untrue, .ml does Bill itself as a general purpose instance. Also, not all the replies are from accounts on .ml.
In a more general sense, I always felt that only reading sources that alligned with one’s political alignment narrowed one’s perspective.
Cnn just because it’s the easiest to type one handed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events is the most neutral source of news I know. I read it every day.
For any German, correctiv should be a must go to…although it’s not necessarily daily news but rather weekly and investigative journalism. Politico.eu for europeans, deutschlandfunk, Tagesschau, lemmy, reddit
But as some people have hinted as well… Visiting news sites nowadays can only make you depressed really…
The Guardian, The Tyee, BBC, CBC, Reuters and AP, with a dash of utterly unreliable press from abroad.
Nice, all that covers a lot of bases right there
