I always read Time Magazine subscriptions, however, I'll use some things like
-Carnegie Endowment For International Peace
-Foreign Affairs
-The Economist (Great statistics)
-Infowars
-Buzzfeed news
-Fox and friends
-People magazine
-Facebook
-Rick and Morty

I used to get my news exclusively from Webdip. Not even kidding. But y'all have been letting me down lately.

So I've started reading CBC articles again and news from the r/Canada & r/Canadapolitics subreddits. As well as big news as it filters down into some of the less political/topical subreddits.

I check reddit's /r/worldnews and Drudge Report for news. I find news aggregators like those two sources to be much better than leaning on news organizations. I only watch cable news networks if I expect the anchors to go into damage control meltdown mode over some happening to get a good laugh (examples: FOX during Election Night 2012, CNN/MSNBC during Election Night 2016), or occasionally I tune into Tucker Carlson or Hannity on FOX if they have an interesting guest. I find that regardless of bend, they're pretty terrible at reporting news I find important -- so many irrelevant headlines and when the stories do matter, the facts are so skewed.

As for why /r/worldnews and Drudge, /r/worldnews is center-left to left and Drudge is right, so I get a basic sense of what people are saying about particular issues and can get an idea as to whether some particular news item is left or right echo chamber nonsense vs something that's actually important to me. I also troll /pol/ and r/The_Donald for entertainment.

I don't read any newspapers, except occasionally the local paper's sports section when it's freely available and I need to kill a minute.


Currently I am reading Nietzsche's "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" and am trying to get back into the swing of reading philosophical works. One of my favorites that I finished in the last couple of months was Marcus Aurelius's "Meditations." I have great reverence for the Western religious and philosophical tradition and aspire to be well-versed in as much of it as I can be.

+1 on webdip, I remember using it as my primary aggregator a few years ago. We lost too many people that used to be active in political discussions and be good posters to be able to keep doing that though.

Your day will come Mr Eden

Also... is your name based on John Henry Eden?

The decline in the utility of the forum for aggregating news & as a filter to keep out the unimportant/uninteresting stuff is definitely down due to the loss of a lot of great contributors. The loss of the forum as a free speech zone is in my opinion a contributing factor to that.

However, I think the utility of the forum as a news aggregator is only going to decline further once we transition to the new PHB forum. I wouldn't be shocked to see activity on the new forum decline dramatically.

I also like to check out Vice News from time to time they have interesting specials. Particularly when it comes to food culture. They do good articles on food stuff.

Infowars.com

I think Fallout 3 was the first place I heard the phrase "make America great again."
Yes the fascist supercomputer said it. Great optics.

I usually leech news off my friends. Occasionally I also see something interesting on webdiplomacy.net but recently I’ve posted like half the interesting news stuff. BBC and AP are also nice.

Twitter is also okay. From following Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin I learned that the Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, Charles McCall, left the country on Friday, the same day she vetoed most of a bill that proposed massive budget cuts.

I wondered who it was who still read the Morning Star these days. I was afraid they'd lost their entire circulation to The Canary.

I tend to watch/listen to the BBC, browse the online copies of the Guardian and Telegraph, and pick up the occasional paper when it comes free with a bottle of water.

The Atlantic has some of the best long form journalism todaybb

Diplomacy World.

The Pouch is just too unreliable.

@Octavious: The Canary uses awful click-bait tactics. The Morning Star is a fine organ of the trade union movement.

If by fine organ you mean they're a bunch of (insert politically correct alternative of your choice) then I agree :p.

Joking aside, you're right. The Morning Star does carry some integrity in its pages, whereas The Canary looks like it was invented by a drunk Tory trying to parody the worst of the Looney Left.

Bump, to lift this thread above ten bogus advertising threads & demote them

Octavious, I am not familiar with "The Canary" but based on your hysterical description,  I had to go see it. 

They, at "The Canary," apparently beg to differ.  It says right on their website: "Fresh, Fearless Independent Journalism | The Canary."  Sounds grand!!!  Fearless!!   Wow!   Probably fair AND balanced too

I like that government but I don't claim they're not oppressive. Wikipedia is banned in Turkey with legal ways. But we still access it.

Ouija! luv it!. For me, MSNBC all day long. I read ancient history. People back then made sense.
