Veeky Forums, where do you go for news, culture, etc? There doesn't seem to be any news outlets or magazines that are a good catchall you can go to if you just need something to get into to broaden your mind on the world, and to a lesser extent keep you up to date on current events. Anywhere besides the obvious like the New Yorker, Salon, etc? (I don't like or dislike those examples, just giving some). VICE still has a good game plan, but it too often turns into poorly written or poorly researched bullshit.
I just browse a bunch of different forums with different overall alignments and observe what people deem important enough to talk about. I barely ever browse content creators directly anymore.

Just stay right here friend :^)

>something to get into to broaden your mind on the world Can you get any more spooked?
Joke on the original photo spread with heterosexual couples and then one homosexual couple at the bottom right to fight for gay rights. "I'm sorry" and "I don't" are just tumblrina vernacular

The Spectator

>The Spectator Really, really variable. The current editorial team is very good, but you still get some really Daily Mail pieces from other writers. Their culture & arts section is as good as any you'll find though.
Lincoln James
Al Jazeera. But only for certain topics.

Same with most other papers. The flavour of sensationalism changes though. The "Independent" like to get real buzzfeed here and there.

Non-Russian here who lives in Russia. Every once in a while I watch russian news. I have no illusions about them but it's still interesting how they show their perspective of what's going on. And sometimes you see how much bullshit western news try to give you.

Oткyдa ты, чyвaк?
Thomas Edwards
all news gives you bullshit
that's why it's best to a) read a range of sources b) read something that confirms your biases
Gavin Johnson

Reading non western country news is interesting. Japanese news is funny but tells you almost nothing. I switched over to it on a business trip one day and there was a man in a chicken suit arguing with the newscaster. Thet were talking too fast for me to follow along as I was new to the language at the time. There is normal news too but fuck that
Hunter Peterson
Seriously, this shit about Vice is for real, it began to feel like I was reading a middle school newspaper, had to stop reading it for good.
Dominic Moore
They wouldn't print all that stuff about sex and drugs in a middle school paper
Parker Martinez
What are you autistic? Taking what I said so literally? The depth and quality of the writing is to be charitably referred to as shallow and amateurish.
It sucks since they have a wide reach and the concept of an idgaf news and culture magazine is cool, and sooometimes they'll have an interesting 25 minute video, but it almost always falls flat. And now a chunk of it is filled with "sponsored content" (such a dumbass term) and cringey left wing stuff (I'm left wing, but goddamn, it's out of control almost everywhere).
They pay their staff total bullshit, so that may be part of it.
