Here I will list some of my favorite "new-start-up-techy" online news outlets that have popped up. So if you want to stay informed without having to deal with Fox/CNN/MSNBC's bullshittery, look no further. Isn't it refreshing? Aren't these new things exciting?! (says the news geek).
I can't fully articulate to you just how much I love this site. I love it so much, it's crazy. They comprehensively explain the news - they give you context and history so you actually know what the fuck is going on in the world beyond what the headlines tell you. It's BEAUTIFUL, ok? Fucking revolutionary, this shit is. And if you aren't impressed with the news part, just go on the site to look at the gorgeous interface and web design. If the graphics on the site don't make you wanna marry the crap out of the site, then don't talk to me.
I also love this little segment of Politico with all my heart. If you want political news with a punch, this is your place. All of their articles are oh-so-very well-written by people who know their shit, and the web design is just out of this world.
People may know VICE for their weird culture magazine. And while this is Vice Media's mainstay, they have been putting serious resources into expand VICE News. They report current events with their signature grit and alternative attitude, their short documentaries are really something else, and they cover important stories from all around the world that aren't really covered by the mainstream media. It's awesome, period.
For most of their stories, they take statistical data and interpret it to current events. God bless.
Have you ever been on BuzzFeed, wasting time reading various lists and taking various quizzes, and then clicked on an interesting headline about Hillary Clinton or Syria or something like that? You then read the article that corresponds to the headline, and then you realize, holy hot shit, I just voluntarily read a news article. That's right guys! YOU JUST READ THE NEWS! Feel proud, because you have taken the first step to becoming an informed electorate and an educated citizen of the world around you. Now read some more. :)
READ THE NEWS IT'S IMPORTANT OK? OK. BYE.
