Looking to compile a list of good leftist news sites and sources. Thank you.

        CNN, Reuters and AP all are.

        Pretty much NewsMax and OAN are the only things I can watch anymore without having the commie agenda crammed down my throat.

          In every evaluation Reuters was the only one reported slightly left leaning. AP is very dry and fact-based and therefore neutral, CNN is neutral to slightly right leaning iirc. News Max and OAN are both strongly right leaning.

          Fox News is also still strongly right leaning. Tell me one time Fox News tried to push for equality, gun control, or universal basic income. Instead you can find pro gun content, strong defenses for very conservative politicians who are periodically being given a platform and they are regularly talking about how businesses should get more financial aid.

          My guy, we can politically disagree but there is not a universe in which fox news is left leaning. Objectively not.

    I have a problem with the basic terms of political alignment. Every political view is placed on a line between far left and far right, and centrist views are in constant flux. This seems to foster devotion over unity.

    We need a set of 3 dimensional terms because the 1 dimensional “left/right” terms are to simplistic. Perfectly reasonable ideas that essentially everyone would support become points of division purely because those ideas are strongly aligned to either the left or right.

    I strongly believe the next evolutionary step we must take is to re-engineer politics and government. Freedom, shared resources, reasonable controls, balanced towards the needs of the public, all seem like dreams right now. Fuck knows how we get there without bloodshed, but get there we must.

      Left/right is just shorthand, the issue isn’t adding dimensions but recognizing that you can only ever describe political positions by what they actually are. Adding dimensions doesn’t necessarily help because completely different stances can occupy the same space depending on how you do it, it becomes astrology.

    News sources should not have orientations. They should be neutral. If they have a political orientation they are not my favourite source at all

        I don’t think this is true.

        I agree that nobody can be neutral, but reporting news should at least try to be. It is basically just telling facts about what is going on in the world. I understand that being totally objective is not possible, but not trying, and reporting facts with an agenda is not a news source that I would take seriously

        I cant read twitter threads I have no account.

        But come on, they were a bit shit on Corbyn when the AS bs first started but they’ve been defending him fiercely ever since, up to this day.

        And then being friends with Zionists idk, that would be surprising.

        And also, George Galloway can f off…. There’s PLENTY to criticise about him.

      I too like to listen to the political opinions of Fenton Mulley from Home Movies.

      (To be clear, this isn’t a dig at Sam Seder. I loved him in Home Movies and on The Majority Report)

    The Wire India, Caravan, Swaddle, Newslaundry, etc are some of the few legitimate news media in India. The rest of them shill for either capitalist kool-aid (usually, liberal media like ThePrint or ScoopWhoop) or Modi (proto-fascist brainlets like Republic TV, Essel Media-related subsidiaries, like Zee).

    Means TV, but it’s a subscription version of YouTube for leftist content and it’s a cooperative. The Means Morning News channel is 80s/90s cheesey and a decent news summary that ends with the Rich Dick award
