For independent media, I suggest Media Monarchy out of Portland, Oregon and James Corbett out of Japan (Canadian living abroad): http://mediamonarchy.com/ http://mediamonarchy.com/ https://www.corbettreport.com/ https://www.corbettreport.com/ I got to meet James from Media Monarchy earlier this year and he's a pretty alright guy. Neither of those sites run ads and depend on viewers to support them. There is, of course, Hackernews. I also use Lobst.er and, sadly, Slashdot. I gave up on Reddit after the whole editing comments (and not resigning) along with the warrant canary .. I tried Voat, but it's just a cesspool. I'll still go on once or twice a week just to look, but it's honestly pretty toxic.
