Hi all. I know that this is a topic that is political in nature, however, you must pardon me, as I am currently prohibited from posting in Pard due to my 20%.

So, I would like to get an idea, on what the members here think of the right-leaning news site Newsmax. I only discovered it like literally one day, and I have been reading its many articles online, which as far as I know, are all free. So you can have a look at its content here at this link: https://www.newsmax.com/ and tell me what you think of it.


I would also like to get people's opinion on another news site that is sitting on the opposite end of the spectrum, namely the Vox magazine. I think that most of their content is hidden behind a paywall, but some are still available for the public, you just gotta click the link that says to go back to the Vox homepage. I will see if I can find one for you guys so you can have a look-see: https://www.vox.com/the-logoff-newsletter-trump/477990/trump-administration-minneapolis-700-agents-ice-cbp-tom-homan. Again I would love to hear your opinion.


How I discovered Newsmax: Recently, on this forum about US politics, I came across an image that categorizes the various news media outlets in the States by their political leaning, as in, whether they lean left or right. I have become very intrigued by this handy little tool, and suffice to say, I will be looking up the various publications in DuckDuckGo, just to see what they are all about.

Thanks for reading.

You mean like influencers on Twitter? Or Facebook. Not very realisble source of news unless you are mostly looking to be entertained.

I trust the right side of media about the same as I trust the left side of media. Therefore I don't watch or read the news

Yeah but it's more fun. If I'm interested in something I would rather get it from a non reliable source then look into it deeper myself instead of just trust the tv

Hmm thats fair but newsmax isnt tv tho. It's an online text-based news site.


So how do you dig deeper? What kind of research tools do you use?
