And with that, some questions.
Should I sign up for Twitter for news? Or should I say ‘Fuck Elon’ and not get a Twitter?
I get most of my news from Hexbear anyway.
Also, I have a Telegram. What news sources does Hexbear recommend on Telegram?

    Whats wrong with checking sites like the BBC, Associated Press etc? That’s where 99% of all news is from.

      So much neolib spin that it can power the turbines at Hoover Dam. I can really trust a word they say. Same goes for Fox News, except that it’s chud shit.

      I tend to read from multiple sources but Hexbear is convenient because it aggregates the sources together. I was thinking similar might be there for Telegram.

        …but ultimately sites like this, twitter etc get their news from places like the BBC …and you know the right constantly accuses the BBC of far-left bias?

          Most alternative media also regurgitates and spins these sources anyway. The novelty of citizen journalism has turned out to be euphemistic for grifts and fake news.

          Concerns about bias in news feel almost quaint like the faux news days compared to the dead web theory of today. Telling somebody to check out gray zone, telesur or cgtn as if they will get the “good stuff” and change their minds seems so self defeating.
