What non-corporate media do you get your news from?

634 sats \ 15 comments \ @frostdragon 23 Jan AskSN

I'm sure this question has been asked here before, but I'm curious what people's answers are in 2025.

I've been subscribed to "the flip side" for a while now, they do a pretty good job hitting the major points and summarizing both sides. I tend to think Breaking Points is pretty reliable - they seem to go out of their way to work with real journalists, and I also appreciate the fact that their biases are "open source", meaning, they don't try to hide or disguise them. I'm not sure if they're the most reliable source of information 100% of the time, but I'd take them over corporate media any day.

What are some of your go-to news sources?

Mostly Stacker News to be honest

SN and Neutrality studies (although I don't believe in neutrality because everyone has their bias, however they seem to be sincere)

These days I mostly get my news from what people share on SN and nostr, but when I go looking for coverage I tend to watch Kim Iversen and Glenn Greenwald.

My wife's go to is Breaking Points. I like getting their perspective, because they're pretty mainstream, but also seem to be honest actors.

Krystal repeats regime propaganda: the billionaires are hurting the working class (that Democrats hate)

Yes, they're both too locked into conventional views for my tases. The point was just that it's useful to know what normies are really thinking, rather than just what the corporate press or politicians are being paid to lie about.

Krystal and Sagar have a pretty good sense of what journalists and politicians really believe.

wait... normies, corporate press, politicians

Journalists are isolated from what normies think

And most politicians are clueless about normies too

ergo... Krystal and Sagar have a good sense of what normies do NOT believe

update: I predicted Trump would win the popular vote. Did Krystal and Sagar agree with me?

If not, then I understand normies better than these overpaid pundits

I hear you, but "normie" doesn't really mean majority opinion. It's more like what people who get their news and views from the mainstream really believe.

X mostly. I try to keep or find lists of different experts and let them be my filter (though tbh I spend most of my time trying to keep up with bitcoin stuff). Individual publications have about as much bias as an individual does - so might as well subscribe to individuals.

For "journalists" I find myself attracted to political refugees lately, where they've progressed/regressed to a kind of primordial political affiliation: glenn greenwald, matt taibbi, shellenberger. For the moment at least, I'm skeptical of anyone that thinks they know the truth and has a handle on all the complexity.

I usually follow the news that people like Max Keiser share.

I try to get my news from everywhere, so I have an idea what is happening. I get a lot of bitcoin news from SN. But it is also enjoyable to get news from places that are biased.
