I just like having some curated news that I can read a physical copy of. All the mainstream newspapers like WSJ and NYT seem to all give the same one-sided perspective on global news.
FT and Labor Notes
Yeah, I read the Financial Times for two reasons. 1. Know your enemy. 2. The capital class actually need reliable info to make investment decisions, so it’s often more accurate and less dripping in propaganda than other newspapers.
That’s what I’ve heard so I tried out FT but as far as global news it’s the same as other mainstream papers. For example on the balloon news a couple weeks ago it was just interviewing anonymous “experts” and no pushback on that.
I’ve tried the FT and they follow the usual china bad, wholesome ukraini line on foreign policy. Looking for something refreshing that maybe gives a different perspective? Would labor notes fit that bill? I hadn’t heard of it before.
Le Monde diplomatique. Only comes once a month in English but it’s a “mainstream” newspaper that isn’t entirely brain dead and left enough to, for example, posit that perhaps the West shouldn’t arm Ukraine to fight Russia since it risks nuclear war.
Not a newspaper but I’d say the monthly review is worth a sub, then get the NYT or whatever and read the MR instead of the opinion section lol
I like south china morning post
