People here on HN always seem to post interesting blog posts, news articles, and reddit posts. Curious to know where people get their news: - Standard media (NYT, WSJ...)? - Forums (Reddit, HN...)? - Blogs

RSS reader following hundreds of blogs. When I come across an interesting article I usually add them to my reader.

Most original content on the web comes from individual blogs.

This isn’t a direct answer to your question but most of my information searching starts right here on HN.

I find infotainment (modern news orgs) to be incredibly toxic and I’m much, much happier to avoid them.

There’s still a lot of aggravating bias here on HN but ignoring the site for a few days typically does the trick.

HN, The Highwire, Children’s Health Defense, Yahoo Finance, Bloomberg, YouTube, d.tube for content that would otherwise be censored on YouTube, Stansbury Research. I have been considering The Epoch Times and either WSJ or Bloomberg. I also have a research service that I pay 1250 for, which has resulted in trades with nice gains when markets are volatile. I also advocate for decentralized social networks to avoid severe censorship on various current topics.

Social media feeds. I created a list on Twitter with time-tested accounts of media outlets, blogs, influences, thought leaders, etc. Everything in one place, simple and convenient.

Very just the facts, followed by opposing opinions on topics they cover.

Never used RSS. How would you go about that? Also, could you list some of these blogs?
