I refuse to watch cable news, don’t have regular tv, and not a fan of visual media for news anyways. I would love something like a Lemmy/reddit mega thread where I can refresh and get up to the minute updates, but from professional news/journalists. But without the faux drama reality tv stuff that the cable news networks always do. I also love podcasts so if there’s a listening medium that isn’t overly dramatic that works too. Any suggestions?

all of our media is controlled by capitalists so i plan on going with organizations that have had a reliable history within the last decade or so; like democracynow or npr.

NPR is state media, and who runs the state? The capitalist class.

very true and if it weren't for the tireless efforts of their journalists i would have classified it as the same category as the others.

i think that the best you can do under the overwhelming circumstances in my country is to try and i think that they are trying despite their own biases manifesting themselves from time to time and their perpetual funding dance with partners like the imperial gov't and the american oligarchs.
