What are your favorite leftist news sources?
(lemmy.world)
SBS Australia
I really like BreakThrough News. Also Novara Media that people have mentioned.
Novara has publicly disgraced itself on multiple occasions. You can find plenty of dunkings of their credentials.
Ash friends with Zionists, Bastini heavily involved in the Corbyn character assassination.
I cant read twitter threads I have no account.
But come on, they were a bit shit on Corbyn when the AS bs first started but they’ve been defending him fiercely ever since, up to this day.
And then being friends with Zionists idk, that would be surprising.
And also, George Galloway can f off…. There’s PLENTY to criticise about him.
George Galloway is a prick.
Calls himself a socialist, but has shared a platform with Nigel Farage and UKIP in the past. Not to mention his reactionary social views and "patriotism".
Similar to the likes of Owen Jones. They focus on the easy issues which they do a really good job with. But as soon as something comes along that threatens to disrupt the status quo then, by their deeds shall you know them.
News sources should not have orientations. They should be neutral. If they have a political orientation they are not my favourite source at all
That's not something that exists, nor is it possible.
I know that it is not possible, but actively having an orientation just makes for bad journalism. Reporting on news from both sides, and not sensationalizing news or the way they are reported, should be key factors of any good source of news

The Young Tur... wait what was the question?
OP said leftist
I'll leave this here. Good resource for evaluating news sources as you come across them also.
Mother Jones.
WMNF radio
Left Coast Right Watch.
I have a problem with the basic terms of political alignment. Every political view is placed on a line between far left and far right, and centrist views are in constant flux. This seems to foster devotion over unity.
We need a set of 3 dimensional terms because the 1 dimensional "left/right" terms are to simplistic. Perfectly reasonable ideas that essentially everyone would support become points of division purely because those ideas are strongly aligned to either the left or right.
I strongly believe the next evolutionary step we must take is to re-engineer politics and government. Freedom, shared resources, reasonable controls, balanced towards the needs of the public, all seem like dreams right now. Fuck knows how we get there without bloodshed, but get there we must.
Look up The Minerva model
Isn't that used for marketing ?
It is. But it's also the basis for the political compass, and is taught in polsci all over the world
