hey guys, I was wondering which websites do you visit to see the news?
I can't stand BBC and all these shits, what is a good and relevant website of news?
Hey guys, I was wondering which websites do you visit to see the news?
Jow Forums. I stopped following the news entirely and I have no regrets.
do you think that people can live a decent life without social media?
I am trying to do that and pursue my interest in philosophy, but i dont know...
Jow Forums is a good news source.
Reuters for news, RealClearPolitics for op-eds
r*ddit
Nah but for real if there are some really important news Jow Forums will let you know.
RT for general headlines.
RussiaInsider for headlines that catch my eye that RT won't talk about.
Jow Forums for quick scoops that major media won't talk about yet because they're figuring out how to spin it.
Google news because it's right there.
I quickly scan articles for warning signs like "sources say" if it's an important article.
Well I still use social media I just don't watch or follow the news.
I'm going to say yes but it's optimistic. Facebook i waning as victim of its own success. It's a formality and ever since people started adding their Grannies it's not the sort of young party social media of the 00s.
Facebook for me is mostly just for martial arts and sports clubs. I haven't actually posted a status in years.
I ll check RT
drudge
Zizek Update's Twitter. They usually have new Zizek articles when they appear.
I look at headlines from Wikinews and VOA's RSS feeds. They are relatively non-opinionated.
>which websites do you visit to see the news
Jow Forums for breaking news
news.ycombinator.com for trendy tech stuff, even though the audience is all brainwashed bugmen they are still quite insightful if the article involves something purely technological with no human involvement required
unironically www.reddit.com/r/europe/ to know what are the latest mainstream globalist trends in europe
Jacobite mag for fun analysis of the current world
Jacobin mag for checking how the old left is haging on and trying to spin how they are still relevant
quillette.com
twitter.com
twitter.com
>Jow Forums
the absolute state
it's unironically great for headlines if you ignore the obvious spin and memeing
I feel sorry for you if you are being sincere.
where else would i find crucial headlines like this one?
cbsaustin.com
>In United States of Murica, dog shoot you
>hey guys, I was wondering which websites do you visit to see the news?
wiki current events
Jow Forums for a muttshooting or terror attack for fun threads (hardly any of these though compared to last year)
/lit/ and /tv/ for the latest feminist encroachment on media I might or might not consume
check mail online once every year or so
been like this for 3 years
Stop reading or watching news. Whether it's BBC or Alex Jones or whoever the hell, all these fags are just bombarding you with information that you can't verify in order to manipulate you for their interests and make you scared and miserable.
I haven't been following news and politics for half a year and I'm feeling much happier and more productive. I honestly don't feel the need to read an extensive description of what retarded Trump did today or who hates who.
>you can't verify
It's easy to verify. Because they have no sources or evidence or haven't been verified. Which verifies it to be bull.
Reuters and RIA Novosti
AFP, REUTERS, BLOOMBERG. The issue is that their info service can't be subscribed by individuals. You have to be a business or gov agency.
Jow Forums is typically not reliable but will break the news very early. It's good for warning you then you check actual news outlets for details and accuracy.
Unironically Jow Forums. I hear breaking news there a day or two before normies start talking about it
Mainstream media is fine for news in the sense of just observing general stuff that's going on. It's any kind of analysis that's the joke.
absolutely. i only use social media to talk to family members and look at yardsales. it's more of a convenience than anything.
i don't know how people can browse social media for more than 1-2 minutes. that shit turns my brain to gravy. not even trying to be a fedoralord or anything it's just stunning how much it treats you like an ADHD moron.
Jow Forums is social media
It's not. Why the fuck are people who read Pol and RT as their main news source even on this board.
>mudslime propaganda
Associated Press and/or Reuters. Except for newswire services almost all the other outlets such as major broadsheets/tabloids are unreliable.
English speaking African nations and India. Seriously. The Russians lie, the West lies, China lies. What is there else ?
I just check mainstream news sites to make sure there's no active shooter in my area.
>BBC
Sometimes I go to the BBC site and it literally reads like it's written for children. Short sentences, very limited vocabulary, fuck all analysis or complexity of any kind. What's up with that? Obviously they're primarily an audiovisual thing but surely they can write text above a primary school level. Is it deliberate, like the way tabloid papers seem to assume their readers left school at 10?
That's what you want from news, unless you're a politician or commentator you don't want to spend hours reading convoluted stories, just to know the state of the world around you.
The WSJ and The Economist
rss feed with all the majority of big newspaper
I don't consume news. If something is important it will effect my life and if it effects my life I don't need the news to tell me about it.
I'd rather read the Guardian than the BBC. At least the Guardian doesn't pretend to be unbiased.
>bating this hard
What if it will affect you live only in t1 and you can know about it in t0 and thus plan for the event?
The Intercept by (if I recall) First Look Media. Most Western media is owned by the same corporations set on propaganda to create clashes and conflict with the East. Did you know, for an example, that Omar Mateen (the Orlando shooter) didn't know the Pulse nightclub was a gay club? His attack was presented as a Muslim anti-gay thing, when in reality his motivation was anger at the US for it's actions in the Muslim world. But mainstream media didn't look into that, and was content just assuming he hated gays or something.
The Intercept and Glenn Greenwald are occasionally a shining light in a dark information age.
People don't want complexity. Just look at the 'most read' on the bbc or basically any other news site if they show it. Unless something big has just happened it will always be inane shit
I'm always prepared
