Reliable news sauces

Indeed, Democracy Now! has a pretty lame name too.

Redacted Tonight is unironically a good source for finding out bits of important news that fall through the cracks.

I read financial biz papers like the Financial Times and Bloomberg with redirects to bypass their paywalls. Chomsky said once that the business press is the closest thing we have to a Marxist press, because the owners of these papers think in material terms and actually have class solidarity with their readers, except the solidarity is with the bourgeois investment class – and it turns out that the capitalists who run shit need information they can make use of.

I also like Jacobin for commentary (yeah fight me I don't give a fuck) and Chinese state media for world affairs. The Intercept is good. The Guardian is a mass-market liberal paper but it's probably the best one in that category.

What do you think of TeleSUR's content? Why choose Chinese state media for international news over TeleSUR?

Even an event which you witnessed first hand with your own eyes might be deceiving.
There's no such thing as a reliable news source.

Oh I'm not knocking it. But the Chinese stuff tends to be a bit broader I think and more Africa coverage. Bigger budget. I should watch TeleSUR more though.

Explain

Western media is more professional than RT, therefore, RT is sometimes caught out when they actually do fuck up, whereas the Western media machine has become more subversive und careful in their disinformation. See the recent coverage of the massacre in Israel: Protesters just "died". Just like that, they just fell dead. Or how every anti-west government is called a "regime" whereas every pro-western government called a "government". The royal family of Saudi-Arabia is never called a regime.

This is part of their ideological superstructure. Die hard Red Scare bullshit from the 50s doesn't fly with people anymore, so they are putting on a left-liberal mask to give the impression to give a balanced, leftist view, but they will always be biased and presuppose the "evil" of the other side and use phrasings akin to radical centrism: "muh both sides", etc.

You just mentioned a bunch of western state outlets. I could also name the public TV in Germany, huge propaganda outlets. If you seriously trying to think you could find a neutral source, or that western media is to be read with less caution than RT you are delusional.

Look up Referer Control

For people who speak german, I can recommend jungewelt.de

Doesn't exist. All media outlets have an ideological agenda. Everything is propaganda.

Anarchy Radio, Jason Unruhe, Secular Talk, and RT.

At these are the ones I visit quite often.

Updates?

The Intercept.

This, for mainstream news sources. The Guardian and Economist also.

Chinese news is extremely biased, so read their foreign policy articles critically. SCMP is good though, and People's Daily officially reports on the CCP policy.

That was the NYT, but Reuters for example: reuters.com/article/us-israeli-palestinians/israeli-forces-kill-two-palestinians-near-border-as-gaza-buries-dead-idUSKCN1IG1A7

I read my news in Stallman's website. stallman.org/archives/polnotes.html

I can't stand any of this "Oh I'm actually a progressive centrist" bullshit served with my porky propaganda, especially from The Economist. Financial Times and Foreign Affairs are where it's at if you want to know what the ruling class is thinking, they don't make any pretensions of writing for anyone else.

The porky press was never against the Vietnam war, read some actual period coverage of it. They played every propaganda tune needed throughout the war, from sucking up to the early Viet Minh and then vilifying them, to sucking up to Diem and then vilifying him in preparation for the coup, etc. It's true that the editorial boards started to question the war after the Tet Offensive, but this was only in conjunction with a shift of opinion in the ruling class. The war was beginning to look like a bad investment as the balance of payments crisis threatened the Bretton Woods exchange rate, and the coverage reflected this: much more "failing to achieve our strategic objectives" than any principled opposition to the war.

As for my favorite news sources, I generally just follow NewsAnon for my daily update, followed by more thorough analysis a few weeks later at ISJ.org.uk and leftist economics blogs (Michael Roberts and Tony Norfield). If I want to get a relatively propaganda free take on the latest imperialist news I'll generally go to the WSWS first (don't trust them on anything else though).

Well, it's owned by a mainland Chinese company, but isn't reluctant to criticize mainland related events and it's not particularly overly negative towards the mainland either. As mentioned, many Chinese publications tend to be nationalistic and focus on more mundane things. The SCMP is not really that favorable to any side, as far as Chinese coverage goes.

Got to know the neoliberal media's reports, and those two have pretty decent reportage.

This but unironically.

So are you denying shit like the Pentagon Papers which exposed the lies and scheming of the US government in Vietnam going back all the way to Kennedy? What about reports from early in the war which exposed US war crimes and terrorism against civilians?

Or was this just 4D chess too?

Forgot link.

Good god what a horrific post. To think there are actually liberals hiding amongst us here. I don't even know where to begin or what the worst part of this post is but giving Al Jazeera a pass while thrashing TeleSUR&RT for being state-owned is pretty bad. Your naive bourgeois faith in the superiority of private business over the state is also damning. But what makes me 100% certain you're not even a socialist is the fact that you find BBC and The Guardian tolerable. Please leave this board, it's not for you.

It’s not an issue of private vs public, it’s an issue of relative media freedom. Russia is notorious for being repressive towards the press, while Western media is relatively open about criticizing the state and its policies, at least within the paradigm of liberal democracy. Also since making that post my opinion on TeleSUR has changed, but my statement on RT still stands. Also there’s one Al Jazeera article in particular that has helped me BTFO mang “capitalism brings people out of poverty” meme, so they have my respect for that. The Guardian has cringe OP eds but it’s actual reporting is good. Overall I think that western media is still of superior quality to most alternatives, but I take everything I read with a grain of salt and always seek to corroborate it with multiple sources.

It's best just to post the whole PDF now. That article was a report before Hickel completed his study and published.

I’ve read both actually, although I discovered the article first.

the only two good sources

TeleSUR sure, but Chinese news like People's Daily or Xinhua News are more recommendable for news than the bourgeois nationalist propaganda that gets spewed systematically on a daily basis by the likes of RT or the middle-eastern state-owned media agencies.

...

Xinhua is actually fairly decent. The Chinese and international versions of Chinese news publications also may differ in content, so read both. Definitely also read foreign news publications.
