What is the best newspaper or magazine to read? One that covers interesting topics that can inspire ideas and story's to write about.

[Anonymous No.10212246]

Smithsonian magazine. then general pubs like atlantic, new yorker, but warning about how leftist it is, more tinged than ever in unnecessary opinion. but worthwhile and cheap

[Anonymous No.10212294]

not the economist

[Anonymous No.10212299]

>>10212066
Not the Economist, and that's a statement coming from someone who read it front to back weekly for years. Unfortunately nearly all of these publications are today owned and operated by jews, and are thus of extremely low quality and little more than propaganda outlets. If you don't understand this and take them at face value you are not going to understand much of anything. You will instead become much more informed reading people who devote their time to deconstructing these jewish narratives, a good entry-level individual being Steve Sailer over at the Unz Review (unz.com).

I have to agree with our /pol/tard friends on the Economist here, it's very biased. I tend to read the business insider for economic shit.

[Anonymous No.10212376]

Business Insider has a lot of shit writing

Rueters is known for being nonbiased I think. The fact is you have to get multiple sources.

You could probably do a lot worse than RT - NYT - Brietbart

[Anonymous No.10212495]

For raw news go to the same sources all of the major news outlets use: AP and Reuters. For 'processed' news, the New York Times is good. As for a magazine, Nature is my favorite. Smithsonian is also nice.

I feel like they're not really for us. Not for those of us who are on 4chan and troll around the seedier parts of the internet. They're for the next level of people, people who don't believe in the mainstream press or even the first level of alternative sites but who still haven't sunk to our depths yet. It's a bit of a chain of dissemination, with, I guess, the dark internet at the top and, say, Time Magazine at the bottom. Sites like these can be used to change narratives and perspectives further down the line, even if they're not as plugged in as the average chan user.

Among the cosmopolitan liberal mags, only The Atlantic seems at least vaguely self-conscious about the Left's failings, and before Trump they still had some good articles now and then, not sure about now.

I feel like they represent a different breed of liberal from the cancer that is Salon and Buzzfeed, which is okay in my book.

If you want to balance out reading the Atlantic, try out The American Conservative for palaeocon views. They also have good stuff on New Urbanism.

Best thing you can do is read a number of them and keep in mind their biases while doing so, since everyone's got them
The economist leans neocon but is unlikely to print outright fabrications
The Guardian leans left but is also unlikely to print outright fabrications

It can also be interesting to read some state medias like Telesur or Al Jazeera to see how these governments push their narratives.
Ultimately everyone is pushing a narrative though, and you'll have to wade through it, getting all your news from only a couple sources is a surefire way to fall for ideological memes

This is the perspective one assumes when they *think* they can see through the clutter, and are perhaps just a few steps away from being able to do so, but aren't actually able to because they are still only viewing the world through the acceptable discourse of the ever-shrinking Overton window being staged in front of them. Every single mainstream news outlet has the same long-term agenda because they're all being run by globalist jews. And in order to fully understand this jewish multicultural globalist agenda you have to first accept that jews have different interests than whites, and second make the uncomfortable exploration into how and why that agenda, and they themselves, is what it is. Anyone who is truly interested in understanding the world from a geopolitical POV must understand the jewish question if they expect to ever have any success with regard to the former goal. Anyone who pretends they understand these things without understanding the jewish question is an intellectual fraud.
