QOTW: Where do you get your news?

[pumpkin]

BBC or The Telegraph online, I pay for both. Occasionally I'll use the FT.com site

[spacein_vader]

Facebook conspiracy pages, Twitter Qanon handles, YouTube chem trail channels and Alex Jones like everyone else.



On a serious note it depends what type of news. I don't touch any of the national daily papers (in paper format,) occasionally the local paper websites can have some useful stuff in once my pi hole has removed the reams of malware and trackers.

For bigger national stuff I tend to use the BBC site as a discovery page, then if I see a story that interests me follow up in more specialist publications. Eg. If it's tech then here and The Register.

If it's political I'll then try to find two opposite biases so maybe read the Guardian and the Telegraph's website story on the same thing and try to extrapolate some truth from there.

Telegraph and The Times online.

Hard to find any news that is impartial these days. Usually turn to BBC Radio 4 however even there the reporters seem to be most interested in getting a "gotcha" moment and the constant interuption of the interviewee is also very irritating. Newsnight used to be worth watching, as long as Emily Maitlis wasn't on, but it's unbearably woke now.

[Percy1983]

Bitchute of course the only place with the uncensored 'truth'.

In reality mostly start with BBC with searches elsewhere for more info or different angles.

[Phrontis]

Various on line, nothing on TV anymore, far too woke and left, particularly the beeb. During the day I'd listen to Talk Radio or if I'm newsed out then Planet Rock.

Hiding my head in shame...... The Daily mail

You're good, mate - the question was where do you get your NEWS from. the bullstuff in the Mail barely qualifies in that regard.

[stevie lee]

2 local forum news sites for local stuff,
BBC for general stuff.
random retweets and steam chat messages from my sister - but theyre mainly about birds, corgis and trees being planted.
and then i look around MSN news, the default homepage for Edge, to get a general sense of loads of different random goings on and happenings.

I glance at whatever news aggregating service is on my device, i.e. Google Discover on mobile or that recently added taskbar pop-up on Windows. In a more deliberate attempt I'll probably head somewhere like BBC. Or Daily Mail for ahem, other news.

I think we'll all just have to learn to read between the lines. Alternatively balance out your general news intake by taking in differing views of reporting / opinion.

Pretty much how most people will read more than one review of a product or tech release, it's finding that balance by doing so.

I don't tend to take much notice of the news, I watch the BBC in the morning for the weather.
Tech stuff I tend to pick up off of Youtube as it tends to be a lot faster than here, you guys really should have an active YT channel, the book of names you have and the name probably still holds a bit of weight...

BBC Breakfast.

I get a Daily Mail with the weekly Waitrose delivery, for it's puzzle pages and the cat litter tray

[ddg3595]

I get my news from several online sources, including this site.

For tech news, Hexus, Techspot and Techpowerup (great for hardware comparisons and game performance analysis). For game news, Rock Paper Shotgun and PC Gamer (I stopped using PCG for ages due to auto play videos helping themselves to my mobile data but pro tip - use Firefox beta with the right configuration flags and it's no longer an issue).

[cheesemp]

Controversial question Hexus? Or do you just mean tech news? For Tech I use Hexus and what was google now to bring up other interesting stuff you guys don't cover (i.e hackaday/PCGamer). For main news the guardian. I use to be a BBC guy but I disagreed with some of their statements (I really don't think they hold the government to account anymore since the recent oversight changes) plus their comments section tends to make my eyes bleed.

Ctheir comments section tends to make my eyes bleed.

In my experience that's true of every mainstream site comments section.
