Hey, that’s how I find out the world news nowadays. Submarine implosion, armed rebellion, mysterious plane crash, those all came through.
I learnt about COVID from a Doge meme.
It’s a nice way to receive news, for sure.
News site don’t make it very easy either. Ads galore.
just use unblock origin
I wish there was something like based.cooking but for news, but the fact is that giournalism is biased in general, so I still would have to look for other sources
To think that people would have opinions that influence their writing. For shame. That doesn’t happen anywhere else. /s
Honestly you need to understand your sources biases and use multiple sources then you’ll get close to the truth. Or at least what you want to be the truth because you have your biases too.
EDIT: thank you for that link. It’s a breath of fresh air.
use multiple sources then you’ll get close to the truth
Yes
I’ll take the opportunity to plug ground.news - it’s a site that shows all media sites it can find about a particular news story, displays their political leanings etc, their general writing bias and/or likelihood of misinformation, and then attempts to summarise the story.
This is great, thanks!
But that’s the problem: doing it right takes a lot of effort, doing it wrong is worst than not doing it, so I end up just not reading the news.
There actually is. I won’t be able to research the link but I’ve seen it on some sub on lemmy a couple weeks ago!
You don’t really even need that, just a simplified page most of the time.
And comments of said memes

When I worked at Google I would literally check the internal meme site to see if there was an outage. It was at least as reliable as the official channels.
Hey! A fellow club member! It’s not effective, sure; but it’s all that’s standing in the way of a full-on mental breakdown… Again.
“Give me the bad news but gently”
Maybe we need a news network that just delivers everything in meme format.
Edit: on second thought, that would probably blow.
I feel like that used the be the Daily Show/Colbert Report, then it became Late Night with Seth Meyers and the Tonight Show with Stephen Colbert in addition to TDS.
But now we have nothing.

Last Week Tonight, or Some More News?
“Hol’ up, Trump actually got booked?”
I had to go look it up after the mugshot memes popped up. Lol
is that Drake who famously tries to groom Mille Bobby Brown?
well OP you probably don’t want to use the Pedo as a mem template
I am in this picture and I feel offended.
I am in this picture and fully support the meme based news cycle.
And the bots in the Tech comm - one fetches 👽🤢 trending news articles, and the TLDR one bypasses the paywall 🏴☠️😎
Just give me the bullet points, thanks.
If you live in a country where the government bribes all the media, this and Twitter(/Xcrement) or whatever you can find on Mastodon is basically all you can find
