Why? Who do you trust?
- dlivingston 2y agoI look at all media organizations skeptically. There are so many ways to distort the truth besides outright lying, and I notice this with the Times - both in what they choose to cover and their tone when covering. With that said, the Times is one of the better media orgs. But IMO they should very much not be trusted blindly. My media diet is a blend of various sources: The Atlantic, The Economist, The Free Press, Reason, Semaphore, Politico, New Statesman, and Axios. Even the Drudge Report sometimes. I wish I had more right-leaning sources to follow, but I often find their content inflammatory and rage-bait-ey (before anyone complains that liberal media does this too, yes, I agree. HuffPo and similar are cancer.)
- enaaem 2y agoFrom my experience you can better spent time reading history than news.
- mmooss 2y agoI agree in that it's important to take it all skeptically. Also I avoid anything that exists to further a particular cause. > I wish I had more right-leaning sources to follow, but I often find their content inflammatory and rage-bait-ey Agreed. I recommend David French, the NYT columnist; easily the best I've read.
