What is it about journalists that you enjoy? It's hard for me to think of a group I'd like to hear less from. They don't seem all that impressive or interesting.

In any case, based on what OP describes, and the groups you mentioned, is it fair to say it's a hothouse of left wing political discourse?

Their job is to seek the truth, many fail, but the goal is admirable. I actually push myself to read views that I don't entirely agree with, within reason.

Compared to X? Oh, yes. Personally, I am a non-US centrist, which I think makes me pretty-left on most issues from a 2024 US political POV. Lots of gay and trans people who are not being attacked as well, so that's nice.

There is a large pro-EU/anti-authoritarian contingent, which I very much enjoy more than anything.
