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.

    For Brazil:

    Amazing source with great analysis. They don’t release articles very often but when they do, it is an absolute banger. Severely underrated.

    From their page:

    Since its foundation in August 2014, Brasil Wire has worked in partnership with platforms and organisations such as Survival International, Le Monde Diplomatique, Progressive International, Al Jazeera, Revista Fórum, The Michael Brooks Show, FAIR, Counterpunch, Tribune, Outras Palavras, TeleSUR, Brasil de Fato, COHA, NACLA, This is Hell!, New Socialist, UpsideDownWorld and Alborada.

    We generally support all progressive Brazilian political parties. We also work in solidarity with social movements such as the MST, CMP, FLM, UNMP, MTST and MNLM, and the Brazilian labor unions and labor union federations such as CUT, CTB, UGT and CONLUTAS. We support feminism, LGBTQ, Indigenous, Afro-Brazilian, minority and immigrant rights.

    Based

    Another banger. Unfortunately, it has very few english articles, so I would recommend it if you are willing to use google translator to translate the whole website like this. These guys are ML, Brazilwire isn’t, but it’s still great
