[Delirium]

I think it would be good to have a thread that compiles good sources of news online, i'm thinking generally leftist but any good news source would be good.

I have made use of the new board software's RSS bot function and added the feeds of about 15 of the listed new sources to our newswire forum.

That means, from now on there will be an automatic bot regularly fetching content from alternative news sources to our newswire forum.

I wondered who Newsbot was. Thats a good idea.

[Vicarious]

what about BBC World news they seem to never have an opinion on any thing they just report the news and more of it. On more relevant topics than other news agencies such as fox(ewww), NBC (Ill play Hardball with Chris Mathews any day), ABC (eww), CBS (your still the today shows ***** Katie), and bloomberg (damn how many times can one show the closing of the Dow Jones in a minute, is there no limit?!?!)

[Reuben]

Counterpunch is fucking shite

[Pawn Power]

Counterpunch is fucking shite

Oh, do tell?

Much of what I would recommend has already been posted but I also recommend Black Agendaa Report (http://www.blackagendareport.com/)

[#FF0000]

You know you can just go over to the Newswire (the NEWS tab up on the top of the page). The Newsbot gets a bunch of stories from a variety of sources. Take a look there.

Personally, I like a website called samsonblinded for news about Israel and the Middle East because you get information that isn't reported elsewhere. It's amazing how the media just won't report things they don't want you to hear.

[Wanted Man]

From another thread:

SolidNet (http://solidnet.org/): all updates from communist and workers' parties around the world.

Marxism-Leninism Today (http://mltoday.com/)

[Al Kaline]

Surprised this isnt on here yet but: reddit

Its a news aggregation site and basically a huge forum and you can create your own section called a subreddit for your own community. Its got thousands of subreddits like /r/politics, /r/socialism, /r/funny and on and on

Awesome site is awesome :D

[KurtFF8]

http://www.labourstart.org - good labor news source for worker related struggles around the world.

Also, I suggest that the OP make a list of all the contributions and add them to the OP as a sort of "master list"

[Rosa Lichtenstein]

I don't think this has been linked before, but this is a great source of alternative news. It also carries interviews with the likes of Noam Chomsky:

found this a couple of days ago

from their about us
We are not a ‘neutral’ news source – if such a thing exists. On the contrary, we are on the side of those people around the world who in one form or another are struggling against oppression and inequality. By aggregating stories from a range of sources across the world, we hope to enable people to learn about, and support, each other’s struggles.
This site is run by a group of volunteers, mainly based in the UK. We are not affiliated to any political organisation or group and we receive no funding. The initial outlay for this site was provided in the form of a redundancy cheque paid to one of our volunteers, by a local education authority in London, as part of a drive to remove union activists and ‘deviant’ thinkers from one of its schools. Thank you Tower Hamlets Council!

[Sarah Palin]

al jazeera all the fucking way. Such a good site. I dunno what I'd without it. And if you can read french, le monde isn't that bad.

[Bahant]

oh nice links there, thank you guys

[RedlySocial]

This topic is a few years old but I hope it's OK to keep adding to it?

Here are three other sites that I didn't find posted in this topic:

The Intercept: theintercept(dot)com
Jacobin: jacobinmag(dot)com
Climate & Capitalism: climateandcapitalism(dot)com

And two leftist-oriented news sites from Sweden:

Dagens ETC: etc(dot)se
Politism: politism(dot)se

[GiantMonkeyMan]

I quite like jacobinmag or at least some of the contributors are ok, some are a bit shitty. Always worth checking out though.
