Recommended News Sources

I consume a lot of information.

Sometimes people ask me how I’ve come to know what I know about political ideologies and many issues that crop up in the news.

Below you can find links to various high-quality, honest information sources that I highly recommend, with most people coming from an open-minded, Progressive, pro-democracy, pro-free speech, anti-censorship, anti-oligarch, and often pro-problem-solving perspective:
