I always struggle with what sources I should be reading for news (particularly political news). I don’t want to read only sources that I agree with, but I also struggle finding news sources that aren’t sensationalist and put forward varied view points. Here are a few of the places I frequent (criticism of these sources or other recommendations are welcome.) I don’t think my political news sources are well varied so any recommendations there would be great as well.

  • hackernews
  • arstechnica
  • the economist
  • axios
  • MIT News
  • Wired
  • Halce

    My absolute favorites to follow are:

    The Grayzone - it’s Max Blumenthal’s analysis.

    Moon of Alabama - one guy’s perspectives on what to look out for

    The Canary - for the UK perspective on its involvement in the world’s affairs.

    Unlimited Hangout - a more analytical take on long-term established players.

    MintPress News - more about the West’s influence in far-away regions.

    And for technology:

    Techdirt - Crazy legal proceedings, frivolous lawsuits… at times both sad, and very much hilarious.
