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.

    Do you have links to articles connecting Prachatai to the NED? They run articles challenging the monarchy and the military coup government which doesn’t seem to be in the interest of the US. The Thai and US military have had decades of cooperation since after WW2.
