Agree. X is an absolute shtshow. It’s propaganda drivel.


What isn't? It's a lot of stuff, a melting pot of opinions if you can create a feed and follow accounts to bring you diff POVs and learn to filter BS and bots. Anonymous small accounts are not all bots and often have useful insightful info in the replies. In other words, don't just read the stuff posted by big accounts (monetized) but read the replies and replies to the interesting replies to create a list of accounts to follow with varied opinions and interesting perspectives. Often there is confrontation in the replies. And yeah, you will see a lot of crazy sh**, so be prepared. I haven't tried Blusky or Truth Social but I think they lean more bias and my time is limited


Sorry but I actually do want hateful things moderated. I also don't care about the replies because there is so much astroturfing, it's a waste of time. You enjoy reading troll/astroturf accounts and bots? They can seem legit and even have a supposed legitimate seeming account in the same name on another platform. I got introduced to this by seeing how dropshippers game fake reviews.

Pretty much nothing is unbiased. BBC and AP news are perhaps the closest, but they still lean left, and you really need to read several sources across political lines to find out what’s actually happening.

Lean left of what? Nothing is unbiased, and the “center” does not exist. Never has.

What is needed are critical thinking and analysis skills by the end user. The media, no matter which platform you speak of, presents facts interspersed with opinion, and sometimes framed in ways which are calculated to elicit sympathy or outrage. Consumers have to distinguish the facts reported from the rest of it, to come to their own conclusions about the meaning and implications of the actual facts.

I find that US media is often too close to what's going on to be well reasoned and objective. For more dispassionate and objective news I turn to the Financial Times and The Economist.

DH is a Brit and said BBC news tries really hard to stay neutral. His parents were conservatives, but he is more of a moderate liberal (I'm a moderate R).

I 100% do not trust mainstream media like NYT, WaPo, BBC, etc.

makes no sense to me. You don't trust BBC and AP but you do Mother Jones, as if MJ is not biased or has stellar reporting?

We need some kind of non-partisan professional ethics board. Because right now anyone can call themselves a journalist, get a website, and spout whatever BS they want. There needs to be a clear difference between news and fictional entertainment because it’s causing real harm.

haha.. good luck with that from the Trump admin.

There is no unbiased new source.

There is no such thing as unbiased, but there are degrees to it.

I'm not MAGA, but I find ground.news useful.

AP. It's a wire service so they need to stay as unbiased as they possibly can.

I also read WSJ and Bloomberg. One leans right and one leans left but they are not extreme.

You are NOT.
Your statement is contradiction.

AP is the safe bet.
X is nauseating.
