news.com.au; unfortunately out of habit and ease of access. it's really not a good source for anything meaningful, and alot of the "stories" are tiktok copy paste bs, but i havent the musclememory to type in abc.net.au instead.

edit: discovered redirect[0] for chrome; problem solved.

My local paper still does a good job of covering a variety of topics fairly and non-partisanly. Albeit it a day late and with paper-thin coverage. However, their staff has been cut so razor thin that most of the articles are from syndication.

I read Money Stuff from Matt Levine everyday, if for no other reason than it's a good read.

And if you want random, Peter Zeihan has been posting videos daily where he goes into depth on a geopolitical news topic a day. SUPER fraught, but highly informative.

News in general is usually very low-quality across the board these days. There are very few local beat reporters anymore, and nearly every major paper ditched their foreign bureau. Everything has been replaced with shared wire services so there is no corroboration of stories. If there is even a story - for the most part, all we are getting is official government press releases, press conferences, and random collections of anecdotes.

I keep updated on global news from Democracy Now, hosted by Amy Goodman. She's an incredibly thorough, tough, and fair reporter and investigative journalist. https://www.democracynow.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Goodman

Upvoting to cancel out unwarranted downvotes. I don't share the political bent of the cited source but the answer is on-topic, to the point, and well within the Overton Window.

It's a fair and honest response, but it's also fair to call out that it's super skewed. I personally would not recommend it as a good source of news.

+1 to Matt Levine, if you're in tech/law/finance and not reading him daily you're missing out on the conversation (and the fun)

I'm also a daily reader of CNBC, and a multiple-times-a-week reader of the New York Times, Politico, and of course Hacker News
