Where do you go on Lemmy for reliable news and politics? - LemmyWorld

I’m enjoying Lemmy so far, for the most part. Everything here is pretty good save for the fact that all the news and politics I can find is dominated by the same few accounts. Half or more of the accounts have a very clear agenda. They modify headlines. Lie. Spread disinformation. And generally are just extremely toxic groups. It doesn’t seem to be a secret here either. And moderators appear to have no interest in putting a stop to it. So, where are you subbed to for reliable news and US/Global politics?

More to the point: where does anybody go for any reliable news? It seems like most news is now using hyperbole to make it entertainment. We have old man Rupert to thank for basically destroying a respected profession. That’s my 0.02 anyhow.

I find these two to be good for finding sources with different perspectives:

www.allsides.com

ground.news

After some time, you might see that there are a few specific sites that you like, and you can just start going to them directly.

The Flipside is also excellent at providing balanced views and counterpoints. It’s a newsletter rather than a site though. (Full disclosure: that’s a referral link. I figured why not).

I’m also partial to The Week which also presents a wide array of views - though it admittedly leans left.

The Flip Side

Your daily digest of the best op-eds and analyses from liberal and conservative media.

I’ve been getting flipside emails for a while now. I really like them.
