This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I'd love to see a few more categories:
- tiktok
- podcasts
- twitch
- YouTube
- Lemmy
- 4chan
Yes! It feels like this being rather worthless without alternative media, as it makes up such a huge part of their ~~news~~ brainwashing.
That's not very news worthy, this has been the case for literally decades now and its the reason why Republicans believe such insane shit; they've been brainwashed all this time
How do you list Joe Rogan as a news source and not The Daily Show?
lol at Rogan being “news”
Lol at fox being news
Breitbar being news …

Interesting that Reuters isn't on there
~~Or AP~~
edit: I'm blind
No they're 5th from the top. That's kind of why I was surprised Reuters wasn't on there.
You're right, I missed it. And you're right about Reuters too.
Yup, was looking for my primary source.
I’d like to see the economist too.
Democrats tend to have higher reading comprehension and critical thinking skills, whereas Republican voters possess wider esophagi and herd tendencies.
And as always, Jurassic Park teaches us everything we need to know.
"They're moving in herds.....they DO move in herds!"
With the rightward drift and all the shenanigans the DNC has been engaging in to keep Republicans in power over the last decade, I certainly see more and more of the herd mentality amongst Democrats now to the point that they're making the same arguments and uttering the same phrases that I used to see only from the biggest sycophants of the Republican party.
Plot twist: it's all the same herd, citizen.
FWIW, you're only lying to yourself by posing otherwise.
..duh..
From methodology:
When the ATP was created in 2014, the first group of panelists was invited to join the panel at the end of a large, national survey offered in English and Spanish that was conducted by randomly calling both landline and cellphone numbers. Two additional recruitments were conducted using the same method in 2015 and 2017, respectively.
In 2018, the ATP switched from telephone to address-based sampling (ABS) recruitment. This means that invitations are sent to a random sample of households selected from the U.S. Postal Service’s master list of all residential addresses, the Computerized Delivery Sequence File or CDS.
I guess I'd be slightly more likely to look into a survey based on physical mail than an unknown phone call (which I would for sure ignore).
The ATP didn’t always include the option to take surveys with an interviewer by phone. From 2016 to early 2024, the ATP operated as an online-only panel where all panelists took surveys on the web. People in households without internet service were provided with a data plan and tablets that they could use to take the surveys online.
Interesting adjustment to be more inclusive.
The selection of news sources actually sounds pretty well balanced.
We also set out to ask about a range of sources across different platforms (e.g., internet, television, print, radio, and new media like podcasts and social media). Relatedly, we wanted to capture different elements of the information environment, such as both legacy news outlets and newer, nontraditional news sources.
