Ask HN: Favorite News Sources?

[lopespm]

What is your go to place to know what is happening in tech and main world events? Especially clean, high signal, non-bloated, non-sensationalist, thoughtful news?

Personally, I use these two sources, and avoid proactively checking mainstream news outlets: - Hacked News Daily: https://www.daemonology.net/hn-daily/ - My curated X / Twitter feed

I prefer sources where the contributors disagree are allowed to disagree with each other. This means they cover a whole gambit of views. It's especially rare with political reporting, but I've found it's still common from https://thehill.com/news/ and https://reason.com/latest/, so those are my go-to sources when anything political has happened.

I don't really know anymore. So much content is syndicated or taken from a handful of press agencies. While there are a number of "rage points" designed to excite people about one thing or another, they tend to carry a limited range of stories. It is very rarely nowadays that I find a story only in one source (except of the most local kind). Even worse a lot of news stories endorse official viewpoints on certain matters instead of challenging them. If you want to know British foreign policy, just watch the BBC.
