it feels like so much 'news' online is just looking at clips from fox, cnn, msnbc etc, talking about their reporting. are there any left wing news channels that actually just report shit and aren't doing commentary on other people's stories? preferably daily/semi-daily news.

thank uuuuu soviet-playful

More seriously though, maybe check out BreakThrough News? I don't really like how they do everything to appear like a "regular" news channel, it reminds me a bit of the "alternative media" types that were basically just imitating American local TV news but with UFOs instead of law and order propaganda. The content is good though, and they have good guests super often.

Seconding Breakthrough. They're kinda the best thing for that role. Unicorn Riot does some occasionally good stuff, but they can have some painfully lib articles at points.

Don't visit their social media though, so many chuds in their comments seething about them. For some reason they never moderate it

Thanks for the advice. I've mostly kept to their main site and Youtube for on-the-ground coverage.

Other than that yeah, Unicorn Riot is cool.

Breakthrough is too, though there's a weird trend of antisemitism in the comments (not the Isn'treali defined version) recently and idk why they don't delete those comments and ban the accounts from commenting on their channel.
