What are your go-to news sources?
I always feel a step behind when it comes to the current administration’s actions. It usually takes about a month for the real substance—beyond the initial outrage-driven headlines—to reach me, along with the actual reasoning behind any given policy.
It also seems like much of the discourse is happening on Twitter, which is frustrating. I have a deep disdain for social media and have no desire to be more online than I already am.
Have to give a shout out to The Motte and the people that run it. It's a great resource.
I'd appreciate any recommendations you might have!
I've been considering giving Ground News a try, but I'm still on the fence. I'd love to hear from any current users of it.
It's just an aggregator, though, which means it's no more of an improvement over its sources than statistics allows. It tries to help readers avoid left-vs-right bias, but I'm not sure what can be done to avoid journalism's more general biases toward clickbait, outrage porn, novelty, oversimplification, etc.
