I have looked, many times, and I have not been able to find a single institution I would trust to keep me broadly informed. I do not think the problem is lazyness. What would you recommend for US coverage?
- reaperducer 6y agoUS coverage ...and there lies the problem/laziness. The United States is far to large, populous, and diverse to expect a single entity to do a good job covering the entire country. It's like reading an encyclopedia entry about wine and expecting to get insights into how 1,000 different varieties taste. Or closer to the point, I don't expect to understand what's happening in Bangkok by reading the news in Tokyo. It's all Asia, right?
- free_rms 6y agoYour last point is really good but there is still such a thing as a national political scene and federal government in the US, and it's a beat that we can expect a journalistic institution to cover. (despite an entire continent rolling up to those 535+ really important people). This was a story about one of two people running for President, and an allegedly corruption-focused outlet wouldn't run it. Wtf. "Trump is worse" isn't a reason not to run that, we all know, it's everywhere all the time in all media.
