    First Thought provides good 5 min (almost daily) short, BIASED (take out the letter “i” and it’s the same thing lol) news. Benjamin Norton+Multipolarista gives in-depth analysis of current events (can’t recommend Multipolarista enough, I am HARD-PRESSED to find a single take they have that is less than spectacular. I haven’t seen any take from them that seems like they are compromising or trying to play a middle ground, they are pretty explicitly anti-imperialist and openly communist) other than that, Barrett on YT has good China news and also a few modern politics analysis but mostly China(or at least that’s what they specialize with) I’d love to see any other good ML news sources. I used to watch “Democracy Now!”, it’s from the US and is probably the furthest left show on public TV channels but even still it leaves lots to be desired. They have anti-occupation news from Palestine often (though I suspect that will drop off after what’s been going on lately, smh)

  • BreakThrough News is good for video content, as is Geopolitical Economy Report (previously Multipolarista, as @ButtigiegMineralMap mentioned). Generally anti-imperialist sources/aggregators are more plentiful than explicitly communist ones, e.g. MintPressNews, Electronic Intifada, teleSUR, and a few YouTube channels like Richard Medhurst who have generally solid analyses

      I learned so much from Breakthrough. They have such a variety of guests too which is cool.

      Mint press is kinda cringe. They repeatedly defended Russel Brand and used far right USian “journalists” as sources for anti-Ukraine stuff.

      Just looking at who they associate with they are definitely comrades by any means.

    I second what other people said. In addition some news podcasts I’d recommend are economic update, news views with garland nixon, trash future. Not a news podcast itself, but they talk about events on Marx Madness before they read theory. In addition, you’ll be familiar with Al Mayadeen and workers world if you browse Lemmygrad, and covert action magazine is good.

    Edit: forgot to mention, these telegram channels: https://t.me/PalestineResist https://t.me/TheDigitalPartisan https://t.me/Slavyangrad
