    While it’s nice, let’s not forget that it’s exactly the kind of thing that right wingers are doing with mainstream media and how much it hurts to only have one view of the world.

      Seeing as how they’ve taken over and their influence is spreading seems it’s been very effective.

      There is something to learn from them when it comes to their ability to win over the masses with their approach and no middleground tactics. They don’t seem to get swept up into trying to appeal to both sides.

      Right wingers seem way far ahead of the curve when it comes to media outreach.

    This is a bad, stupid, destructive and dangerous idea. We don’t need more echo chambers radicalising people to one pole or other.

      Yes we absolutely do. Articulate the value of having right wing state propaganda as part of your “news” intake. Don’t just say this is an echo chamber, articulate why including right wing media is good for you.

      And to be clear, I’m not endorsing or saying I trust this organization.

    FYI, MintPress news (featured in the screenshot) is funded by shadowy oligarchs associated with Putin, Assad, and Iran. That’s how a journalism student with no real world experience founded and funded a million-dollar news source.

    I’d trust this app about as far as I can throw Putin.

      RSS app of choice still remains my preferred method to retrieve articles from sources I want.
