I'm enjoying Lemmy so far, for the most part.

Everything here is pretty good save for the fact that all the news and politics I can find is dominated by the same few accounts.

Half or more of the accounts have a very clear agenda. They modify headlines. Lie. Spread disinformation. And generally are just extremely toxic groups.

It doesn't seem to be a secret here either. And moderators appear to have no interest in putting a stop to it.

So, where are you subbed to for reliable news and US/Global politics?

no such thing as reliable news sadly, except going outside

Reuters is known as the "reluctant imperialist" news source. They use neutral language as much as possible but still back British interests. Owned by a Canadian multinational.

Maybe it has to do with where I live (relatively dangerous US city) but I'd rather not see anything newsworthy when I go outside.
