Independent news sources you should pay attention to
For a very long time I viewed NPR as my primary source of news and highly recommended it. Sadly I haven’t felt that way for over a year. They still refuse to use the word “torture” when discussing our actions towards suspected terrorists or merely people who might have had contact with a terrorist. The continuously osculate the rump of religion — to the point where I’m surprised when I hear them say anything critical regarding religion. Nor have I ever heard them accurately characterize right-wing sources like the Heritage Foundation or American Enterprise Institute when using them as a source. Furthermore, I find NPR’s coverage of events outside the USA to be woefully inadequate. Which is why I now listen to several other sources for news.
I highly recommend:
-
VICE News on YouTube.
-
BBC — especially their twice daily podcast summaries of the global news
