Mostly the wire services (Reuters, AP) and some reputable sources that don't try to spin things one way or another (NPR, BBC, ProPublica)

I've been using Ground News. But it's been so depressing I'm considering checkout out for a bit.

Just whatever makes it on fedi, fark, and the news here in Japan. I do occasionally watch local/regional US news where my family live if something is going on (hurricanes or such for example).

None of the parties align with my views and I'm tired of pretending that they do. So I don't.

Understandable. What about local news?

I use a Scanner Radio (Android) app for "emergency" events. Duno if iPhone has an app like it.

For actual news local radio or OTA but I rarely tune in.

This methodology came about after being annoyed stressed out and fed up with the way things are going. Everyone blames they want change but 1 out of 3.35 milare willing to attempt to make a change. Not fully saying violence is the way but it sure seems like it worked for the rich and powerful.

Lemmy, NPR, and occasionally CNN/AP/Reuters/whatever if I need to look something up I guess.

Mostly Lemmy and NPR.

TikTok for the initial what's going on then various different reputable (the little I can find) news sites.

Yes I get news from tiktok because they don't do as much propaganda bullshit other social media sites do lik blocking certain subjects because they don't like it.
