I would add to that you have to find some news sources outside the U.S. mainstream. For years I read all the biggies but there were all kinds of things I missed.

U.S. deploying troops in Africa U.S. mistaken drone strikes against civilians Uighut detention in China The success of drug decriminalisation in Portugal Etc

There is a collective bias in mainstream news wherein they decide what is interesting and bias against airing anything that they believe viewers will find boring. This leads to a strong bias away from anything outside the collective middle class mainstream lived experience. I don't think it's intentional but it's very pernicious.

Listen to NPR and you'd think strikes and such in the US are extremely rare and unions are mostly passive. Listen to Democracy Now and you'd think they're happening constantly and unions are very active. That just from a choice of what to cover, and on one issue.

Is there a Drudge Report type aggregator specifically for this kind of news?

[DubiousPusher]

Man I wish. I don't know of one. I love the Drudge Report no matter what liberal media says about it. It's got crazy but it's got everything else too.

Yeah, crowdsourced content is great, but there's something to be said for things curated by a single actual human being.
