Smithsonian magazine. then general pubs like atlantic, new yorker, but warning about how leftist it is, more tinged than ever in unnecessary opinion. but worthwhile and cheap
not the economist
Not the Economist, and that's a statement coming from someone who read it front to back weekly for years. Unfortunately nearly all of these publications are today owned and operated by jews, and are thus of extremely low quality and little more than propaganda outlets. If you don't understand this and take them at face value you are not going to understand much of anything. You will instead become much more informed reading people who devote their time to deconstructing these jewish narratives, a good entry-level individual being Steve Sailer over at the Unz Review (unz.com).
What makes Smithsonian magazine better than the rest?
All newspapers and magazines are compromised. As for interesting online publications:
socialmatter.net
theoccidentalobserver.net
nationalvanguard.org
The New York Times for daily news
The New York Review of Books for intellectual and literary content
The New Yorker for high culture
New York magazine for wit and not being a virgin
And The New York Times Magazine for advanced analysis
I have to agree with our /pol/tard friends on the Economist here, it's very biased. I tend to read the business insider for economic shit.
Business Insider has a lot of shit writing
Rueters is known for being nonbiased I think. The fact is you have to get multiple sources.
You could probably do a lot worse than RT - NYT - Brietbart
For raw news go to the same sources all of the major news outlets use: AP and Reuters. For 'processed' news, the New York Times is good. As for a magazine, Nature is my favorite. Smithsonian is also nice.
This. You should read the completely unbiased opinions shared on /pol/ instead :)
>the New York Times is good.
No.
ABC news.
abc.net.au
I didn't know brain-dead boomers had such a heavy presence on Veeky Forums.
>talking shit about the ABC
shoo shoo tony
>wanting to be a part of legacy media in the age of the internet
Real life is a much better source for story material anyway.
WSJ and the Economist

Boys what happened to Jacobite, they barely post content anymore

Social Matter is the corpse of a movement that had real potential.
They weren't willing to discuss the JQ so they quick became irrelevant.
patrician detected
I think they still publish interesting essays, but yeah, they're not really what I'd call "vibrant." Of the current crop of neo-reactionary websites, Thermidor seems to have the most fire in it at the moment.
the problem with these sites is that they never talk about anything i dont already know about (they don't investigate shit they react to the same news as everyone else) and their takes aren't as hot as mine or my twitter niBBas
so what's the point
>The Economist shamelessly stealing headlines from Frasier episode titles
The Economist is a good read. It's obviously biased towards free markets but the clue is in the title.
I feel like they're not really for us. Not for those of us who are on Veeky Forums and troll around the seedier parts of the internet. They're for the next level of people, people who don't believe in the mainstream press or even the first level of alternative sites but who still haven't sunk to our depths yet. It's a bit of a chain of dissemination, with, I guess, the dark internet at the top and, say, Time Magazine at the bottom. Sites like these can be used to change narratives and perspectives further down the line, even if they're not as plugged in as the average chan user.
I'm conflicted by all these sites, and also The Intercept. On the one hand they do seem to report on stuff most outlets don't pay attention to. On the other hand their slant is painfully obvious. They're like the mirror opposite of all the alt-right news and commentary sites.
if you read any magazines or newspapers in 2017 you are incapable of producing art.
social matter > thermidor
but honestly just read autobiographies and shit from the 1600s and prior.
I grew up on old Nat Geo's. It sucks now but back in the day it was the shit. I have like hundreds of them that I rotate for use as toilet reading material.
Oh I agree that the quality of the articles and essays is better on Social Matter. But it's more sedate these days, you know? Compared to Thermidor and Jacobite it isn't as active or as pugnacious on social media. That's mostly what I meant.
Are there any nrx blogs or sites that post even semi-regularly? I already know about Social Matter, Atavisionary, Thermidor, Jacobite, Nishiki Prestige, Free Northerner, and Orthosphere. I personally am not one for the MUH BASED TRADITIONAL ORTHODOX CATHOLICISM angle so I'm less interested in that but I'll take whatever I can get.
It hosts Myth of the 20th Century, which is consistently solid
News is just trash. Why read something with a shelf-life shorter than anything you eat.
yea, their twitter posts get like 15 notifications max, usually like 2 or 3. Thermidor is riding the Spencer cringetrain though, or at least some of its editors are.
just follow all the 'muh freedums' guys; @Outsideness @ClarkHat @Damn_Jehu @UF_Blog @Alrenous idk i dont really run in that circle so i cant vouch for quality. maybe try re-reading old U-R posts over and over and pray Moldbug comes back.
yup, it's all twitter all the time now. which is fitting at least on the 'muh accelerationism' side of things
you could also keep up with unz and spandrell. i don't read any of these guys' blogs anymore desu it all suffers from the same syndrome previously indicated
Just read Manufacturing Consent and take the "red pill" about media in general desu.
i read the new yorker and the economist, neither seem 'leftist' to me. but 'leftist' is an ambiguous term if i ever heard one.
ive heard the atlantic is good though, maybe ill look it up
Anyone you recommend I look into? I'm looking for a wide variety, accelerationfags, HBD, muhmonarchy, etc.
cringe-y post
They're both cosmopolitan liberal capitalist magazines. That's the prevailing ideology of the West and they're both devoted to it.
I'm a pol fag and even I can't recommend this book enough. Read all of Edward Bernays and How to Watch tv News for the full red pill
>business insider
Embarrassing. Buzzfeed with dollar signs.
Bloomberg is good and the articles are brief. I tire of the traditional journalistic style, always quoting three sources regardless of whether their commentary adds anything.
Among the cosmopolitan liberal mags, only The Atlantic seems at least vaguely self-conscious about the Left's failings, and before Trump they still had some good articles now and then, not sure about now.
I feel like they represent a different breed of liberal from the cancer that is Salon and Buzzfeed, which is okay in my book.
If you want to balance out reading the Atlantic, try out The American Conservative for palaeocon views. They also have good stuff on New Urbanism.
This. Everything aside from the opinion articles are good.
This is a great list if you're a real life faggot.
The Economist is a dick-up-ass Keynesian hogwash, pal. "Markets"
>jews
Stopped reading.
What are some other moderate websites?
>He hasn't read Culture of Critique by Kevin Macdonald
>>>reddit.com
Nobody cares about your propaganda.
>Veeky Forums - literature
>tfw reddit doesn't even deny being from reddit anymore
Nobody cares about your opinion go back to your shitty website and stop posting on a literature board if you don't like literature
>he's so dense that someone literally has to say the words "i do not use reddit" and is incapable of interpreting a rude response as a denial to his accusation
>yet he chooses to have his ebin raid on the book board
Back to /pol/ faggot.
I'm not the original person you were replying to faggot, my issue was that you seem to think Culture of Critique is propaganda. Culture of Critique has been a pillar of Veeky Forums for a long time, it's pretty thorough and if the only way you can respond to it is by screaming /pol/ like an autistic window licker, you do not belong on this board.
>frogposting
>DUDE STOP POSTING IMAGES I DON'T LIKE ON AN IMAGEBOARD
...
Then maybe you should get off of my board because Veeky Forums is a Christian board.
Ah, Kevin! Still shilling your shit I see. We were all worried you had left us in the lurch.
>I've Never Read Culture of Critique: The Post

The amount of people unironically repping msm news outlets itt is sad af. Aren't most of you supposed to be gen z kids who grew up with the internet?
Jews are the master race, you are just jelly
Master races don't live as squatters in other people's territories for thousands of years while producing zilch within their consanguinous little shtetl ghettos.
I got a free subscription to Foreign Affairs, what should I expect?
Only article I remember reading on The Atlantic was the one where they called Prog Rock music for white people.
Foreign Affairs is published by one of the most influential foreign relations think-tanks in America: the Council of Foreign Relations. It has some great articles on IR generally, however it's also useful as a scrying glass into US foreign policy thought.

how many tote bags do you own
he's not wrong, you know
I know Glenn Greenwald is trustworthy because everybody hates him. Not even a leftist, I just know he must be on to something because of how many enemies he has.
Do you literatti enjoy any zines?
i like the new yorker
i tried reading the economist but desu i dont care much about what other countries are up to
ive heard about the atlantic but i havent gotten a chance to look at it yet.

Reuters is hardly unbiased. They just hide their biases better than most.
>I got a free subscription to Foreign Affairs, what should I expect?
"Here is feel good foreign policy program in country x that actually covers up a CIA covert operation of funding and arms transfers to the moral equivalent of rapists and gangbangers."
A smart non-crazy person with a background in intelligence history, propaganda analysis, and esoteric writing could make bank doing propaganda analyses of IR magazines.
Finish by taking the black pill by reading pic related.

My god.
The only magazines I read regularly are Viz and Private Eye
Probably not what you're looking for besides the investigative journalism stuff in Private Eye
There are a fuckload of these
Yeah, they're amazing.
Veeky Forums related
If you are a brit read Private Eye. Full of lels. Calls out other UK publications on their hypocracy. Also very good at highlighting corrupt behaviour of politicians/ bourough councellors. Everything is written with cutting wit. Will leave you more cynical about may UK affairs.
Greenwald is not trustworthy. He's jewish, like nearly all of the owners of these controlled opposition outlets that pretend to take anti-establishment stances.
everything reads like lefty propaganda once you submerge yourself in /pol/ bullshit and NRx blogs

The articles are good, editorials are hit or miss
Well technically the Journal is a newspaper. If we're going to talk about newspapers we could have an entire other list.
