The Intercept? Even if I agreed with Glem Greenwald's world view, I'd recognize it as among the most biased out there. for American foreign policy, I have a much simpler suggestion: any news from sources that aren't in the US or its chief geopolitical rivals (Russia and China). As a special bonus, you'll get less garbage news about things that don't matter, like the political ramifications of what Joe Biden had for lunch. And you might even learn something about the rest of the world, which is practically impossible from US media.



Greenwald is no longer with the intercept, and he hasn't been an editor for a long time.

Much of the world is a part of the USs economic imperialism, and hence isn't as far from the mothership as you'd imagine. All sources have biases. At least TI does fully independent reporting.


Quick example from today of excellent journalism: https://theintercept.com/2021/06/16/joe-manchin-leaked-billi...

They also don't mix news and entertainment - the portion of the org that does TI is a non-profit.


Nice bit of cherry-picking there. NYT (for example) also produces some excellent journalism. Little gems buried in mountains of crap. Making either your only recommendation will leave people who follow that recommendation covered in crap. They're sources to be used sparingly when those good articles appear, not as part of one's day-to-day effort to stay informed.


> Greenwald is no longer with the intercept

Founders' influence often lingers long after the founders themselves. You think Greenwald didn't hire/collaborate with others who shared a similar world view?
