Typically i'l pick 2 sources from each political leaning

2 news sources from the far alt left, 2 others from center and lastly two others from the alt right, and il just scroll past the news articles for that day on all them once every day to get mainstreem news from all perspectives.

I feel Center leaning news alone isn't enough but can be useful at times to get straight facts with little political bias. While left leaning news sources are pro for lgbt I hadn't seemed to find any far left sites that actively cover tech news. I had to make a sacrifise and make one of my sites a site that just leans to the left. Nbc news. Just to get some new content. Wheres the news for tech left sites? Or am I missing a concept here? I dont really like the alt right sites thaat much but sometimes they can have a good point when they are not talking against lgbtq+:people. Obviosly I wont agree with everything as I look at the news from left to right as a whole.

In short I follow abit of everything from left to alt right not just the center.

What do you all choose for news?

There are a few sites that do the same thing but I find All Sides to be a very quick way to know how biased a news topic is and what neutral really is.

All Sides Media Bias Chart and How they score

Allsides is the one I usually use, not by choice it's the first resualt when I search for news bias chart. By news topic, you mean the news source or the topic?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I mean topic as in what happened.

I just took a quick look at All Sides. How does it compare to Media Bias/Fact Check? I don't know how to "fact check" either one of these sources but that's what I have to do so.

Thanks for sharing All Sides, it is new to me.
