It only takes 60 seconds to do it :)
His post "I hate the news" (0) was(is) very influential for me personally. It was seminal in what become a rather significant change in my habits and view of the world.

- not about daily information (which are usually as fast as possible and don’t take the time to really understand the situation)
- not biased
- not about juicy news, but world topics that are ~objectively important
I feel like there should be a subreddit for that.

Based on which precedent did you arrive at this conclusion?

I did some Googling to see what "right wing thinkers" Twitter has banned lately, and you appear to be talking about Alex Jones and a bunch of literal Nazis.
> When it was allowed for twitter to silence people from their platform
"Free speech" does not and has never meant "guaranteed access to private businesses and websites."
And I'd bet money that you wouldn't say a word if Twitter started banning far-left progressives.

What is a good source of information? By that I mean: - not about daily information (which are usually as fast as possible and don’t take the time to really understand the situation) - not biased - not about juicy news, but world topics that are ~objectively important I feel like there should be a subreddit for that.

If you're not promoting hate speech, you're fine. If you think someone can't be a "right wing thinker" without posting hate speech, then that's the kind of attitude that's poisoning the right and destabilizing the country. Bill Kristol is in no danger of being banned.

Thanks for posting this. I probably wouldn't have noticed until January.
Edit: it turned out to be a problem with the server. Thanks again for the heads up and for everyone’s kind words.

I found that the best source for me is The Economist: once per week, written by smart people, with good summaries of anything that is important. Delivered digitally (with an excellent audio version, too).
It is "biased" in the sense that the editors hold a set of opinions and you have to be aware of it. I do not agree with all of their opinions, but I am aware of them. The news useful even if you disagree with their interpretation or recommendations.
Surprisingly, it is the only intelligent and non-sensational news source that I have found.
