I would actually take The Intercept off that list and replace with Drop Site news, since that’s the new site that Jeremy Scahill and Ryan Grim started after their departure from The Intercept. Basically the PMC and NGO class went and enshittified The Intercept
All good, I’m a disgruntled founding subscriber of The Intercept and went to one of their live events, so I have an axe to grind
Should we include breaking points because it includes Ryan and Krystal ball, or exclude it because they co-host with reactionaries?
I only followed Ryan Grim’s writing stuff not his video ventures. I’d leave that up to others to decide but I think hosting with reactionaries designates that it’s an entertainment product with news like characteristics. Do they do any of their own reporting or is it just hot takes?
They do some reporting, but it’s a lot of hot takes. A few days ago they had a really in depth talk with Jeffrey Sachs about how the US and Wall Street screwed over Russia after the illegal disillusion of the USSR (he was one of the architects of the color revolution in Poland but becomes very disillusioned by the mid 90s, so he would come across as very credible to any lib you show it to)
The Intercept is still pretty great. That happened a while ago and the articles they are putting out still cover the same kind of topics and from the same positions, at least that I’ve noticed. Every article I’ve seen has been covering stuff that the mainstream media wouldn’t, and from the left. I don’t go to their site to skim, but I haven’t seen any bad articles.
In my time at The Intercept, I’ve watched the newsroom increasingly become dominated by management and bureaucrats whose numbers continue to swell as the number of people who actually produce news dwindles. While the Intercept now has one poor copy editor for the entire website, it employs two staff attorneys, as well as a legal fellow, a chief strategy officer, a chief digital officer, a business coordinator, a senior director of development and an associate director of development, a product manager, a senior director of operations, a chief of staff, and a chief operating officer. And for the first time in The Intercept’s history, as of Monday, the new editor-in-chief now answers to the CEO.
The company’s org chart, pictured below, provides a sense of how top-heavy it has become with business hires (basically the entire left half). Organizational chart for The Intercept current as of April 26, 2024. (Credit: The Intercept)
This orgy of management largesse has coincided with layoffs of the editor-in-chief, managing editor, national security editor, copy editor, photo editor, multiple senior editors, social media editor, as well as writers and reporters. There are passionate editors and writers left who still want to do news, like Ryan Grim and Ali Gharib, but they are toiling under the impossible odds of the new management regime.

Klip is awesome. I’m so glad he went out on his own to do what he does best.
I’m aware of what happened. I’ve read that article.
I’m not sure what you think that has to do with what I said.
I didn’t see this one on the list: https://www.qiaocollective.com/
Though tbf it doesn’t look like they publish very often these days :/
More lefitsh than leftist, but In These Times and The Real News are generally good for U.S. labor news.
@DivineChaos100@hexbear.net posted a long list of news sources a while back, both mainstream and left, from a wide range of tendencies.
Didn’t real news drop Chris Hedges bc he said he wasn’t voting for Biden when he was still in
For Portugal:
I think Black Agenda Report deserves a mention.
