Any recommendations on good source of news and analysis? Something like AP news. Please don’t suggest Fox or CNN 😀

Highly recommend Breitbart, Newsmax, and Hannity/Limbaugh radio for reasonable, unbiased reporting.

Don’t sleep on OAN

I try to get a balance:
Right leaning news -
FT, WSJ, the Economist
Right leaning opinion / analysis -
National Review
Left leaning news -
NYT, WaPo
Left leaning opinion / analysis -
Atlantic, NYer, New Republic
Miscellaneous / mixed - BBC, NPR

Lol agreed D5. Being fact based is considered left leaning these days. In my mind, I think the economist is objective and as centrist as a journal can get, however if they’re reporting facts on the virus, the us election, AND climate change, that automatically makes them left leaning in todays polarized environment.

My mother in law follows one American news (OAN). Sure she’s a little bit racist, sexist, and generally inconsiderate, but SHE’S A PATRIOT

BBC, Reuters, and AFP will give you the “straightest” news, along with AP. Other good options are FT, Economist, and WSJ (all slightly center-right) and NYT, NBC (not MSNBC), and WaPo (all slightly center-left). Avoid the opinion sections on all of these sites unless you’re looking for confirmation of your own preexisting positions.

Good options as long as you go in recognizing the slant.

AP news isn’t trying to be bias but I’ve noticed many many times it’s perspective is from a 1st world country/colonizer mindset. So I hope you’re supplementing your news. Also should read Al Jazeera - unbiased news but from a Middle East point of view. You should supplement with various parts or the world to get a complete picture on a particular story.

I’m taking about Al Jazeera English. As others have said - the Arabic version is more biased.

Wouldn’t that logic also apply to WSJ? Everything there seems to have a slant (even non-opinion).

I'm a fan of Politico. Curious on people's opinions if that's biased or not.

Given that a lot of my DC focused work requires keeping up with politics, I use it more as a professional resource. My only critique is that it can be a little sensationalist

CNN isn’t some liberal version of Fox. That’s MSNBC

You see, if it’s sunny outside and a Republican says it’s rainy, then Fox says it’s definitely rainy, CNN saying it’s sunny isn’t some how being rabidly anti-Republican

Yahoo!

Follow @DPRK_News on Twitter. Very insightful.

And that Joe Kernan guy on CNBC. He’s a character and has an informed opinion about everything.

Wondering if anyone struggles with a similar problem I do - I was a volleyball player/serious athlete from 10 until I finished playing my senior year of college. I then worked as a full time volleyball coach/assistant director of operations for a super competitive club in south Florida. I changed career paths for stability and money increase, but now I find when I’m super stressed at work I avoid the gym. I normally go 4-6 days per week and consider it an outlet, but now seems to add stress.
