If we want to begin deprogramming ourselves from neoliberal propaganda, what websites are recommended for news sources?
A few off the top of my head: Telesur, multipolarista, Black Agenda Report, MintPressNews, CGTN, RT.
I recently deleted by BBC app and installed the CGTN app and honestly it’s been a huge improvement. CGTN is lib every once in a while but the Chinese focus is interesting and the Chinese perspective on geopolitics is refreshing.
Also, a couple of news sources that aren’t communist, but still worth following for the alterative viewpoints:
- Recently found Al Mayadeen, based in Lebanon
- Electronic Intifada, reporting about Palestine
- For coverage on the conflict in Ukraine, I read on Twitter: IWN, and “Russians with Attitude” podcast. Used to also ASBmilitary, but they suspended coverage because it was too dangerous for their members in countries where presenting an alternate viewpoint on the war is not tolerated.
- If you speak Russian or Belarusian: Sputnik Belarus Sputnik also has a few Telegram channels in Russian. (They may or may not have other language coverage somewhere, I didn’t look for it because I speak Russian.)
Lastly, I’d like to mention DPRK official media:
The first two focus a lot on the internal affairs of the country, so foreign visitors may not find it much interesting (except the Ministry of Foreign affairs statements, some of the statements are based), but still worth checking for interesting stuff sometimes or to get an alternate viewpoint on some claims about the DPRK the western media has been yelling, or just take a mental break from capitalist society.
