News site don’t make it very easy either. Ads galore.
just use unblock origin
I wish there was something like based.cooking but for news, but the fact is that giournalism is biased in general, so I still would have to look for other sources
To think that people would have opinions that influence their writing. For shame. That doesn't happen anywhere else. /s
Honestly you need to understand your sources biases and use multiple sources then you'll get close to the truth. Or at least what you want to be the truth because you have your biases too.
EDIT: thank you for that link. It's a breath of fresh air.
But that’s the problem: doing it right takes a lot of effort, doing it wrong is worst than not doing it, so I end up just not reading the news.
Yes
I'll take the opportunity to plug ground.news - it's a site that shows all media sites it can find about a particular news story, displays their political leanings etc, their general writing bias and/or likelihood of misinformation, and then attempts to summarise the story.
This is great, thanks!
There actually is. I won't be able to research the link but I've seen it on some sub on lemmy a couple weeks ago!
Using Mozilla Firefox on my iPhone :/
does iOS not allow extension?
I think some browsers do, but Firefox does not
of course they only allow them on safari
Wait there’s Firefox on iPhone?
of course there is
The version for testers allows it to install
Try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox_beta&hl=en&gl=US
Don't need Beta, just a phone that doesn't run iOS
