Best source of news nowadays…

Post by Wambli Ska »

X is without a doubt the fastest and most comprehensive way to get news nowadays in real time. Everything the major networks have reported about New Orleans and the Tesla truck explosion, plus MUCH MORE like unedited videos and pictures of both incidents, were posted on X HOURS before they got to network or established legacy media news sites.

Ex. Fox just announced the FBI has “just released pictures of the New Orleans scumbag. X had name and pictures early this morning.

And the best part is that you seen it all unedited and unvarnished by the babysitting state, from all points of view AND it weeds out poop swiftly. I’m a big fan!

While some sources are better (more factual) than others, ALL have one common agenda.
Every
****
One.

And that’s to get you to watch/read/listen/share. Some obviously have political agendas, but none are doing it for free. If you aren’t paying, YOU are the product. And even if you are paying you’re still the product.


I trust none.

If I see something I really care about, (almost nothing these days) I check multiple sources.

And that’s the beauty of X because all the sources both big and small post there so you can get a story from ABC News and in. United you can get non commercial folks who are actually on site correcting or adding details and context to what ABC reported.

But I agree, everyone has an agenda.

I check out Al Jazera, BBC and the Daily Mail every day. The international perspective is usually different than our domestic one plus all the major US news outlet are just focused on our country and don’t under global effect.

I trust none as well, and any kind of "social media" site even less. I don't believe anything I'm told, and only half of what I see - regardless of source. I have face***k, TWITter, Dreads, instatwat, et al blocked at my firewall - out of my computer and out of my life.

Like CPJ, my give a poop level about darn near everything is at zero - or less. What these fools in the world do fall into two categories: 1) Something that I can't do anything about but will piss me off, and 2) Something that I can't do anything about and don't care about anyway.

This all begs the interesting question:

Is it so important that we be told HOW we're circling the drain, or merely that it's so?

I believe we should stand on Ceremony. . . while our friends handcuff the sanctimonious little prick and take him away.

There's an (Zorba shield your eyes) app I'm giving a go called Ground News that so far I like. It takes major headlines and summarizes them, plus gives you an assessment of what type of news sources are reporting it (IE media conglomerate, corporate, independent, government, left leaning, right leaning, etc.). It also provides you a link to every article/news source it found reporting that given topic. How they assess everything I'm not entirely sure, but I still like it better than just trusting whatever flavor of propaganda my social media algorithm feeds me.

It costs $60/year, but with that comes zero advertising and at least an effort at being objective with less outside influence.
