Now that I'm off twitter I have zero exposure to the news cycle. But I'd like just a tiny scoche. Any suggestions? I want something that's 1. brief and 2. balanced, but also real. I followed readtangle.com for a while but couldn't stand the rationalizations.

huge newsfeed rss on nostr via bridges
Don't you get some exposure to the news cycle on nostr?
Yeah, but it's like third-hand and spotty. I listen to lots of bitcoin podcasts, but they're all pretty topical. I want something from a bitcoiner's perspective, but about everything important going on
Could always go with CNN aka chad news network
This is far and away my favorite option. Free of the bloat and editorializing, daily mailer
Cool, sounds like exactly what I want
What topics of news are important to you?
Real govenment encroachment (like those IRS things earlier this week), basic understanding of the "current thing", economic stuff (although I already get enough of that), local happenings.
I'm working on a bot that consolidates RSS feeds of government agencies and other things like that, so that it's a feed of news straight from the primary source. Here's the nostr feed of it: nostr:npub15t5eu0tgeuttzrmeqc9flg05m2f7ghcjmc5de0nazjg9v68rc3us7f4g7l
nostr:note12e6zmvmuck6k9f3jteft4f2ff9whauu3txl2u8xcz0xfwcqm35ssppeyrq
Use something like sqwuaker to follow twitter people wothout an account.
Tbh Bloomberg ? Tends to filter news through markets so hopefully more objective distance
interesting... might be some nostr things to do on this front
I have a few news sites that I sample to get different perspectives, including CNN, Fox, Al Jazeera, Gateway Pundit, BBC, LifeSite News, Breitbart, and National Catholic Register. I don't look at every one every day, but it is interesting to quickly compare a few.
I have a very good source of news, but there is in Spanish. By far the highest quality journalism I have found in a long time. Although they are now using subtitles in different languages for their programs
What's it called?
What is that, please?
Cómo se llama, por favor?
Got a link to share?
Thanks doode, appreciate it!
What do you mean with the rationalisations? An example, please
Isaac rarely talks in moral absolutes. People-pleasing centrism dwells on nuance at the expense of clarity. He's a gifted writer, and good at what he does, but when you hear the phrase "Gender reassignment surgery isn't a black and white issue" you know that person has departed from the path of wisdom.
I think there is anything like what you want. In my case, in general, I try to read in different media, with different perspectives. Sometimes, some extreme but with a conscious reading. In that sense, due to the personalized nature of the timeline, it is difficult to replace Twitter. I imagine that, like me, the selection of accounts you follow was curated over years.
It absolutely was, but is totally ruined now
1440 Daily Digest - News
GRIT - Econ
Both are newsletters that you can sign up for. Both are short and sweet. I have been subscribed for quite a while and the only thing you'll miss outside of these is noise.
Read Reuters. Its roots are “just the facts” business news.
My favorite conservative news source is Deseret News - Mormon, out of Utah. I really respect them actually.
