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
  • ufra

    I try to stay away from the news pretty much as much as possible, but during the American election I wanted to see some varied opinions and included tildes.net which sometimes had some disagreeable right-leaning commentary as well as slashdot. Otherwise, I have a BBC rss feed that gives me a sense of what’s going on without actually reading the content. My more well-informed sister watches Bloomberg Global in the morning with breakfast.

    Back in the day, I used to follow a bunch of old bond-traders on twitter who were skeptical as hell and gave a good follow the money view on current events. Also, on reddit I used to follow the military subs to get that perspective.
