Man, this whole thread has tried my patience. It's as if not a single Lemmy user thinks that current events are worth following.
I'm not sure where everyone is getting their information, but this response is sorta terrifying.
Current events are certainly worth following and Lemmy could be a great place to add comments, ask questions and find additional context. A bot to scrape a relevant subreddit if content is needed.
Complaining about bias is what I was addressing. You can get unbiased media. Al-jazeera is surprisingly good for world news.
Isn't Al-Jazeera a state-owned Saudi network? I'd trust them about as much as RT, Fox, CNN, or TikTok.
Qatar state owned. Yes. Expect bias for ME matters, but RoW it's mainly fact based.
Eh no thanks, I try to avoid getting my news from religious nuts lol. Good try, though.
I wasn't complaining about bias though. That's the thing. I was asking for reliable news aggregation on Lemmy. Big difference
Nobody here seems to understand that though. Or, very few.
I know news is bias. That isn't the point. It's the posting of blogs, YouTube videos, altering headlines, using alts to brigade voting and push an agenda... Here, on Lemmy, not in the media.
The media is a known commodity. If I read an MSN article, I know their bias. If I read a fox news article, I definitely know their bias.
A bunch of edgy "communists" and qanon accounts manipulating the large news and politics community ON LEMMY is the point. Not the news
