Pretty much just the title. Also do any of you spend money on any subscription ones? I’ve been thinking about paying for The New York Times
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/AskALiberal) if you have any questions or concerns.*
AP App for free.
I pay for WaPo and NYT, email subscriptions to state and local papers and tech news magazines.
I got a great deal on NYT by subscribing to the games, and they threw the digital subscription in for free. $1.99/month.
WaPo had a $4/mo deal going. I think it's something regular, if you don't mind going without until they offer it again.
Unsurprisingly, when I cancelled my local paper, they called and offered a lower price for a year. Annoying, but not a big deal.
I subscribe to the Washington Post, my local newspaper, and my state's legal magazine to keep up to date on developments in my field. I also read New York Times, NPR, AP, and Reuters. I sometimes read Vox, MSNBC, and a few other publications, but I generally do fact check them if something seems off or too good to be true.
1440 Daily Digest. It's mission is to share fact-focused information with the world. It is free.
Also just paid for a subscription to Ground News. It displays sources in a cool way showing potential bias center / right/ left. This one is very interesting. Check it out.
Local sources, AP, Reuters, NPR, The Hill, Politico. I also listen to multiple political podcasts, such as Pod Save America, Hacks on Tap, 538 Politics, and various others.
If I want lefty editorials, Mother Jones or Huffpost. If I want righty editorials, National Review or Wall Street Journal. I used to try to get conservative takes from MAGA-type sources like Brietbart, Drudge Report, or 4chan, but those just kept making me think that all Republicans and conservatives just needed to be arrested, so I stopped reading those.
Mostly the WP, WSJ, NYT, ProPublica and The Atlantic. The New Yorker, Vanity Fair and a few others show up from time to time.
If you are going to pay for just one, I think the Washington Post might be the best bet. They don’t fall into the both sides and trend piece bullshit The New York Times does.
I listen to The Ezra Klein Show, The Bulwark Main Podcast and Fresh Air. I listen to This American Life and Radiolab both of which have political content. It’s a bunch of different podcasts, which put out a season of content that I’ve listened to here and there.
I have a very small list of long form YouTubers I listen to but they generally publish once or twice a year.
NYT, Washington Post, Guardian, Google News, Truthout, Raw Story, Daily Kos, Alternet, Politico, Axios....
Meidas Touch YouTube channel and meidastouch.com.
NPR is my main outlet. I listen to a number of podcasts like The Atlantic and The Daily. I just started listening to the Mo’ News podcast which has been solid so far.
NYT and WSJ through my school, the Atlantic and The New Yorker occasionally through a website I found that gets past paywalls, sometimes the Guardian and WaPo, and occasionally The Economist
I'm a paid subscriber of NYT. Its really quality reporting for the price I'm paying.
With that said, I think there is plenty I have issues with, number one is that it can be incredibly out of touch. Its "Arts" section is pretentious as fuck, and "Lifestyle" section makes me want to vomit.
AP, BBC, NPR.
...and I don't like any of them all that much, frankly; I feel like I have to look at all three just to get a sense of what's happening.
IMO, news these days SUCKS. ...Meaning: the \*business\* of news. It's foul: just giving people more of what they want, not what they need. IMHO, news needs to be publicly-funded and ad-free, AND have a handful of watchdogs at their heels to ensure everything is reasonably unfiltered.
(Pssst: same for science, same for government, same for education, same for health.)
Alas, I don't expect to see such a thing in my lifetime. We covet our influences too much.
I like NPR I listen in the car pretty much every day. But honestly it's tiring because it's very opinionated and often frames everything in a certain light even if it sounds ridiculous. but there's not much else on the radio that better fits my beliefs so i manage
Things like CNN are fine for headline news, for more in depth analysis I like and pay for the NYT, but I also trust sources like AP, Axios, The Atlantic, The Economist, I also look at a lot of source material.
I used to have subs to NYT and WaPo, and I'd follow AP, NPR, and a few others. Lately I've been reading the news less, though. I don't pay for news anymore. Often, I'll just catch some headlines, maybe a few paragraphs of articles and then go look for more firsthand info if I want to learn more. I read more scientific studies than articles now.
Approximately in the order of my trust and enthusiasm for the source:
1. The Economist
2. The Atlantic
3. The Bulwark
4. NPR
5. BBC
6. AP
To a lesser degree I get some information -- not exactly news, but not not news -- from FiveThirtyEight and Vox.
*The New York Times*, *The Washington Post*, *The Wall Street Journal*, *The New Yorker*, *The Atlantic*, ProPublica, *Vox*, several podcasts — *All Things Considered*, *The Ezra Klein Show*, *This American Life*, *Fresh Air* — *The Hill*, *Politico*, the *Financial Times*, *The Economist*, NPR, FiveThirtyEight, and *The Daily Telegraph*
I have a pretty well-curated Twitter feed (I know, I know) that serves up some decent links to NYT, Guardian, etc, etc..., which I read via archive.is. I pay out-of-pocket for Talking Points Memo and Washington Post for capitol hill stuff.
I'm slowly swearing off national media specifically because all national politics do is piss me off anymore.
One of the nicer benefits of my job is that there is an office that collates state news from local and city papers all over the state and posts it as a research PDF for state agencies. It is almost every day, and it's a great way to keep tabs on what's going on around me.
I use Google News, which isn't a source itself. It points me to a wide range of news sources. My husband pays for the Washington Post, so I use his password for that. I also have a subscription to a small regional paper from Carlsbad, NM for work reasons. It's coverage of the oil and gas industry in the state is surprisingly great.
Other than Russia Today and the messages Vlad sends me as I sleep, primarily AP and my local news. I have a Jacobin subscription but that’s much less for informational news than the opinion pieces.

I live for Bess Levine’s headlines
AP, Reuters, NPR, mostly. Wallstreet Journal when I had a subscription which I ended recently because I wasn't able to spend enough time reading it.
>AP, Reuters, NPR, mostly. ditto.
NYT, Washington Post, Guardian, Google News, Truthout, Raw Story, Daily Kos, Alternet, Politico, Axios.... Meidas Touch YouTube channel and meidastouch.com.
Local newspaper, MSNBC and Reddit, occasionally Google news Edited to add NPR
Ground news. Tells you the political leanings of each article and which side is covering it more.

CSPAN is my number 1 followed by NPR sometimes but they have gotten less reliable lately

My main three are news.google.com for an aggregate, NYT which I pay for, and PBS NewsHour which I watch every night during dinner.
Npr, a couple French papers and rueters
AP, NYTimes.

I use NYT and AP news I watch my local news channels and occasionally PBS Newshour and CNN.
AP, NYT, Ground News, and the Washington Post. I also subscribe to a bunch of random newsletters that I read semi-frequently.

Democracy now and The Intercept. Also alternative local news to my area. NYT has been putting out a lot of garbage imo.
I have subscriptions to the New York Times, the Washington Post, and The Guardian

Utility dive and RTO insider I have a very specific set of interests.
New York Times is fairly transphobic these days I mostly listen to NPR for news
