Ha, man, finally, 20 comments in and someone understands the question.
Based on all the responses so far I'm assuming a well moderated place doesn't exist on Lemmy yet, which is disappointing. I was hoping I just hadn't discovered it yet.
So you want currated news, why are you here?
Kind of, yes? I've commented on it more than once here.
This is the point you're missing. Although, I guess I'm glad you've stuck around... For some reason...
A place where you have a variety of well vetted sources. A place where you don't have to wade through a sea of "Hunter Biden's laptop", "lizard men" and Infowarriors.
Does news have a slant? Yes. Am I well aware of that? Yes.
The difference is, there's no longer a "both sides". I'm not interested in what some qanon blogger thinks about the Senate. And, here on Lemmy, that goal is achievable. And, I would argue, close.
However, the problem here is that you have bad actors operating unchecked. That is a problem of an immature platform, not an inherent problem with news in general as you've spent a lot of time and words intimating to me.
So, as we bring this bad boy around full circle and I put this behind me; the question is, is there a place for reliable news and politics? The answer to that question is, apparently, not yet. But, I'll hold out hope that it happens because Lemmy is a promising platform that has a lot growing up to do.
What you're looking for doesn't exist and will probably never exist in our lifetimes. If you want some (USA) sites that aggregate news and provide an interpretation on it; nakedCapitalism, ZeroHedge (you won't like), The Register, Breaking Points, MintPress News, RealClearPolitics.
Sigh... Nevermind. Thanks for trying. You and I live in two different realities. God speed
Lol you're insufferable.
