I'll leave this here. Good resource for evaluating news sources as you come across them also.

OP said leftist

News sources should not have orientations. They should be neutral. If they have a political orientation they are not my favourite source at all

[–] Rongbipper@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's not something that exists, nor is it possible.

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I know that it is not possible, but actively having an orientation just makes for bad journalism. Reporting on news from both sides, and not sensationalizing news or the way they are reported, should be key factors of any good source of news

I have a problem with the basic terms of political alignment. Every political view is placed on a line between far left and far right, and centrist views are in constant flux. This seems to foster devotion over unity.

We need a set of 3 dimensional terms because the 1 dimensional "left/right" terms are to simplistic. Perfectly reasonable ideas that essentially everyone would support become points of division purely because those ideas are strongly aligned to either the left or right.

I strongly believe the next evolutionary step we must take is to re-engineer politics and government. Freedom, shared resources, reasonable controls, balanced towards the needs of the public, all seem like dreams right now. Fuck knows how we get there without bloodshed, but get there we must.

Look up The Minerva model

[–] mub@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Isn't that used for marketing ?

[–] Muffi@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago

It is. But it's also the basis for the political compass, and is taught in polsci all over the world
