"The 34-year-old democratic socialist defeated Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent after losing a Democratic primary that he had initially entered as the clear front-runner. The mayoral race drew the attention of President Trump, who endorsed Cuomo the night before the election and threatened to withhold federal funds to New York City under a Mayor Mamdani."

the objective is to build a network of local, national and global sources that you can count on. preferably completely independent and free from editorial or corporate oversight.

note: all media is flawed, including the ones below. never rely on one source. do not immediately accept something as the truth from any single source. everyone is capable of accidentally getting a detail wrong, or even deliberately misleading. the fact is that even reading something as inflammatory as Fox News can give you information you wouldn't be able to get anywhere else, the key is not to take any of it at face value.

Dropsite News - ran by Ryan Grim, Jeremy Scahill

The Intercept - sadly running out of money, alleged CIA ties

Democracy Now! - more center-left, better domestically

Jacobin - wide variety, sometimes shitty takes, Alex Press is great

The Grayzone - this one is controversial (mainly just to liberals) and they make no qualms about being committed to reporting from an anti-imperialist view of the world

Black Agenda Report - perspective from Black leftists. founded by Glen Ford (RIP), a Black Panther and accomplished investigative journalist

Hasan Piker - hate him, love him, neutral, doesn't matter. he's the largest independent political commentator on the left (by far), covering news and misinformation 9 hours a day. you can think he has shit takes, but he's still a reliable source and has been insanely accurate with his opinions

The Majority Report - been around forever, Sam Seder & Emma Vigeland are amazing, once home to the incredible Michael Jamal Brooks (RIP)

International Viewpoint - monthly English-language magazine of the Fourth International

Left Voice - socialist news site and magazine

But I just wanna take a moment to dunk on them even harder, every Belgian agrees all media in this country has a massive bias. So I tried a little experiment when I came across this story. Just, just, it's the homophobe's wet dream, which is why multiple Belgian newspapers reported about it;

"They seemed like the perfect adoptive parents, but now face 100 years in prison: “Their depravity goes as deep as it can”" (with a picture of a wholesome gay couple with two gids with "love is love T-shirts".) It's about two gay guys from Georgia who were actually evil, but also, you know, basically tick every single homophobic trope.

I came across it in the GVA, or the local newspaper of Antwerp, Belgium, but also one of the most popular newspapers of the country.

Anyway, went to Ground News to see if this story was really right wing. And although Ground News is a usefull way to find out where the story comes from, it's horrible in placing newspapers;

So by now, they have confirmed this story was mostly covered by the right, but not when I checked;

They put telegraaf.nl on the right, which, is fair. They're this close to becoming neo-nazi's. But wow, of the 115 international and American newspapers that covered this story, they have only been able to give 56 a political ranking. 49%!!!!!!!!

I'm not asking them to move heaven and earth. But they were only able to place ONE Dutch newspapers, and NO Flemish ones. Even though all Flemish newspapers are owned by the same people and by consequences publish the same stories. (You can type the title of any article of any Flemish newspaper into Google and you'll find three copies in other major Flemish newspapers! It's hilarious.)

It really shouldn't take them to much effort to at least cover Belgium of all places! Especially regarding such a crazy and stupid story like this.

I also love how there is not difference between the right and the left. They use an AI to come up with some summaries than don't describe the article AT ALL if you actually read it. GOD this stuff is tupid.
