considering that i dont visit news sites

boyah
reddit.com/r/all (cmon you cant lump all of reddit in together shit's massive)
old farts in my office
facebook

boyah beats reddit since people are usually devil's advocates at least here and against the circle jerk (though i guess boyah has its own circle jerks). r/all is OK but you have to treat everything with a grain of salt. the old men in my office are also okay but also hold some weird opinions that make them less trustworthy like being extremely anti pokemon go lol. and the only people who share news on facebook are usually twats

honestly i dont really give a fuck about the news n_u

ofc re: reddit it is too big
i just look at the front page of reddit really these days
/r/worldnews and /r/news aren't really good defaults tbh and thankfully /r/politics was delisted
boyah for me regarding politics tends to be a simulcast of /r/politics
but tec's original perspectives on video shames tend to have more cogency

idk about trustworthiness
despite being a sceptic in general i also tend to be a gullible dumdum when things fit my ~narrative~

but as far as cold factual "this just happened" news, twitter is where i mostly learn about events first, chronologically speaking

tec is my #2 source on video game industry goofs, after twitter

Boyah for game news.

For world news I trust all the others as much as The National Enquirer. At least you get a couple of laughs there.
