Ask HN: What other news sources do you use?

Other than HN, Lobste.rs is good too for non-tech stuff:

As for non-HN type news, I have pretty much stopped following establishment media completely (even non political stuff) and got paid subscriptions to Glenn Greenwald, Viva Frei and Robert Barnes, Steven Crowder mug club and give support to independent creators and journalists like Jimmy Dore, Matt Taibbi, Aaron Mate, Michael Tracey, Alison Morrow, Sharyl Attkinson. Catherine Herridge & Tucker are good too - though I don’t watch them often anymore as I don’t want to support any establishment media. I have gone as far as to install ad blocker and pi-hole and share archive.is links to avoid giving them money and clicks. I support people I like with actual subscriptions by setting aside around $250 per year.

GG is a shadow of his former self. A true shame that a once intrepid reporter now only writes about cancel culture and leftists, and people are willing to throw money at him for it.

His reporting over last 2 years has resulted in exposing the biggest corruption scandal in Brazil and getting the previous President out of prison:

And his reporting on cancel culture and media elitism is exactly what's needed in today's day and age.

What reporting? Bitching about a female journalist reporting about a top VC using "retard" in casual conversation on Clubhouse isn't "what's needed in today's day and age."

He's blossomed. I disagree with him politically most of the time but he actually supports free speech and reporting facts. He's also a hero in Brazilian politics who could very well die for his reporting. I am thrilled to support him and canceled my subscription to the Intercept when they canceled him.

No one "cancelled" him. He left because an editor finally stood up and said he could not publish yet another diatribe without someone else editing his work.
