It is maddening to see repeated posts from NYT and other maga propaganda tools as quoted material on Bluesky. Now I block and mute no matter who they are. Enough enrichment of the ones helping take away your rights. Damn.

I stopped NYT months ago, along with WaPo, CBS, ABC, NBC and LA Times. CNN's been dead for a decade. I'm better informed and healthier as a result although a bit of effort was required.

I'm glad to hear it. It's important for everyone to know the ownership of their news sources, and all the ones you named are either owned or controlled by the billionaire investor class. And there's tons of independent journalism out there! https://www.trustworthymedia.org/list-of-independent-media/

Add High Country News for indigenous writers too. https://www.hcn.org/articles/indigenous-affairs-stories-you-need-to-read/

Thank you, this is a terrific list! I would add High Country News for a western U.S. perspective, including indigenous writers. https://www.hcn.org/articles/indigenous-affairs-stories-you-need-to-read/

Having oligarchs control news outlets isn't new but when they bend the knee to fascism and suck up to a criminal regime it should scare the fuck out of their readers/viewers.

"isn't new" agreed, although the lesson there isn't that things used to be fine and now they aren't, it's that we were never being well-informed by those sources to begin with
