Thanks for the info.

In a more general sense, I always felt that only reading sources that alligned with one’s political alignment narrowed one’s perspective.

Definitely, I’m certainly not looking for an echo chamber. It is exactly the opposite since it’s very rare to find something outside the common MSM and social media narrative. Hence the dissapointment with all the news sources mentioned here.

Also the left ones I know have less ‘pulp’, ‘trivial’ -or whatever you can call it- posts and more interesting subjects not covered elsewhere. I am also constantly surprised and impressed with the knowledge the users have. They know their stuff, put effort into replies, provide sources and useful info on sometimes very specific topics or events in history. It’s vastly more educational.

OK, partly off topic: I’m new here and in the fediverse in general. Trying to find out what is what and where I want to be part of.
So I figure I go to Ask Lemmy, where I see your question and found it interesting.
To my surprise, since I was under the impression lemmy.ml was a real leftist place I see mostly horrible MSM sources.
Was I wrong?

Or any of those upbeat and obnoxious songs.

I hate him, his stupid hat and everything he does in or outside of music.

Isn’t it implied by using this proverb that you know they have some bad qualities?
Same as supporting the ‘lesser evil’? Also, it’s hardly impossible to not be morally superior to these scumbags.
