Good sources of news

What you are saying is that you want to go from one inaccurate news source that pushes an agenda to another source pushing an agenda you agree with more.

Readers have a responsibility to ingest different opinions/ideas. The problem is people don't necessarily like to read/understand the other side. This is one of the reasons that news organizations have become more focused to specific demographics. I actually find the concept that news should be objective to be counter intuitive.

Deciphering news is the responsibility of the viewer. I will say, I work in long form journalism and many stories that I work-on take 6months to 1 year to complete. I never tell a story without an objective, that would be pointless and boring. I don't have an employer but when I go to sell my stories I know which stories will sell to which outlets based upon the line I'm pushing.

The entire concept of news/information is about influencing people and their ideas. If you aren't doing this then you aren't doing an effective job.

I follow a lot of sources that are frowned upon in the manosphere. NPR, sometimes NYT, Cato Institute, Independent Women's Forum, establishment thinktanks, etc

Twitter has really opened up the news. I no longer see the point in slanted news aggregates, most writers lack any insight, so I'd rather follow the few writers who contribute something rather than relying on some corporate org to choose who I should read.

Whenever some event happens that is newsworthy, I try to find local sources who are covering the story from the ground.

Reihan Salam, Robert P George, Ben Shapiro, Christina Hoff Sommers, Judicial Watch, W Bradford Wilcox, Jonah Goldberg, @selfgovwest, Charles Payne, Steven Crowder, Asche Schow..

a lot of the typical suspects

Also zero hedge and Armstrong's blog should be required reading.

I can speak first hand about Inforwars. When they've reported on events I was involved in, his reporting was factually accurate but led into batshit crazy conclusions. One example was the institution of military "courtesy patrols" in uniform to pick up drunk soldiers downtown. Alex claimed this was to get Americans used to martial law......but this practice was one copied from other military bases, and takes place in military towns where people are already used to seeing soldiers in uniform everywhere.


Wall Street Journal is a "must read" for anyone in a white collar job. Not so much because their reporting is that good (it isn't) but because it helps keep track of major business news items and it is a good way to keep tabs on what the current groupthink is.

NPR is also worth keeping a tab on because, as Stuff White People Like points out, "all white people's opinions come from NPR".
