Hello! This is my first post on Lemmygrad! I am excited to be here!

I have recently created a Twitter bot with the intent to pull news from anti-imperialist/non-Western sources hourly, ideally to provide a different perspective for people to look into that may color their attitude toward Western media. At the least, it’s a great resource for myself. I would love to have recommendations on sources to add and criticism of my current list.

Current sources I am using:

  • Al Jazeera (Qatar)
  • South China Morning Post (Hong Kong)
  • MintPress News (US)
  • The Intercept (US)
  • Telesur English (Venezuela)
  • The Grayzone (US)
  • MR Online Newswire (US)
  • Asia Times (Hong Kong)
  • Press TV (Iran)
  • Granma (Cuba)
  • People’s World (US)
  • Palestinian Chronicle (Palestine)
  • Nhân Dân (Vietnam)
  • Syrian Arab News Agency (Syria)
  • Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting / FAIR (US)
  • Xinhua News Agency (China)
  • Daily Nation (Kenya)
  • China Daily (China)
  • People’s Daily (China)

Sources I am considering:

  • RT (Russia) - After obvious ordeal is over, too much coverage on it already
  • Sputnik (Russia) - After obvious ordeal is over, too much coverage on it already
  • Pyongyang Times (DPRK) - No RSS feed, have to make way to pull items manually
  • The Global Times (China) - Possibly too tabloid
  • Workers Today (Italy?) - Seems to have more explicit aim toward general Marxism-Leninism as opposed to coverage of anti-imperialist/non-Western affairs
  • Redfish (Germany) - See RT and Sputnik, given this source is related to Russian media
  • China News Service (China) - Afraid I may have too many sources from China
  • Democracy Now! (US) - Possibly too focused on domestic US affairs, but some good criticism appears so unsure

I would love to find more sources covering Africa, South/Central America and the Caribbean, Austronesia, and Indigenous peoples. I have not linked the bot because I am not necessarily trying to self-promote, but would gladly share it if enough interest was shown.
