One of the most annoying things to me in current journalism is how news and facts and opinion pieces get more and more conflated. Probably because the pure "news" is readily available to everyone, so the respective media just take those news, put their spin on it and cater it that way to their audience as a way to create a "product".
Unfortunately this linkblog (that's what it is) isn't really much different, it's a collection of opinion pieces that the author agrees with.
When I want reasonable, global news, I usually just go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events, which is quite balanced and linking sources and Wikipedia articles about the topic.
