          The intercept still regularly has worthwhile reporting, but no way would they publish anything like what Drop Site is currently.

      Should we include breaking points because it includes Ryan and Krystal ball, or exclude it because they co-host with reactionaries?

          For the most part, it’s a morning show slash news roundup podcast. They do have some partnerships, like with Jordan Chariton of Status Coup who reports on Flint, MI and East Palestine, OH.

          They do some reporting, but it’s a lot of hot takes. A few days ago they had a really in depth talk with Jeffrey Sachs about how the US and Wall Street screwed over Russia after the illegal disillusion of the USSR (he was one of the architects of the color revolution in Poland but becomes very disillusioned by the mid 90s, so he would come across as very credible to any lib you show it to)

            Yeah, their interviews are some of their most useful segments. Sometimes they interview local reporters too!

            They have great people on like Dr. Trita Parsi

      The Intercept is still pretty great. That happened a while ago and the articles they are putting out still cover the same kind of topics and from the same positions, at least that I’ve noticed. Every article I’ve seen has been covering stuff that the mainstream media wouldn’t, and from the left. I don’t go to their site to skim, but I haven’t seen any bad articles.

              I don’t know who Raisi is nor am I following Ken so closely that I’m aware of everything he says or does. Also I’m not the crass comment police.

              From what I’ve seen he does good work. I don’t think there’s ever been a public figure who doesn’t fuck up once in awhile, and if there is they’re a fucking liar or good at hiding their flaws.

                  Again, I don’t know what you’re referring to. I can tell you feel strongly about whatever it is. If you want to explain it better and get me on board with it you’ll need to add some context around who this person is and why what Ken said about them is problematic.

                  The work I’ve seen him crush is putting in endless FOIAs to expose massive wrongdoing at all levels of government and he doesn’t seem to pull any punches on whether it’s the right or the left fucking around or finding out, and I value that. But I’m still not hip to everything he says or does regards whom, and I’m not enough of a fanboy to drop what I’m doing right now to go down that particular rabbit hole. I do know he left the intercept over enshittification, on principal, which for a writer is a very risky but awesome and empowering move if it works out for him.

          I’m not sure what you think that has to do with what I said.

    More lefitsh than leftist, but In These Times and The Real News are generally good for U.S. labor news.

        Yes. We’re going to have serious complaints about any U.S.-based site. Their excuse was because of something to do with non-profit status and rules about endorsements. They attack Biden all the time, though, and had good coverage of the would-be railroad strike.

    Are there any news sites with half-decent English coverage of events in China/East Asia? I still feel so isolated from a quarter of humans because I literally never see news except “China bad”. Otherwise I’m gonna just have to learn Mandarin.

    Time to update my RSS.

    Maybe you can put a note next to WSWS (published articles defending sexual predators) and Morning Star (they fuck with TERFs, or so i was told).

    Also if The Guardian is here i think Common Dreams and Truthout can go to the US tab, they’re more succdems but actually doing great job as a news service.

    Prensa Latina is even better, it’s mostly Cuba centered but have news from most AES.

    For anarchist news there’s uhhhh Anarchist News and It’s Going Down and Act for freedom

    Naked Capitalism, perhaps. I don’t think they are necessarily leftist per se but have always struck me as progressive and have in depth analysis of current events with a critical eye to the neoliberal party line.
