Curious what WSO users do to inform themselves. Do people still watch cable news and read newspapers? Or are most reading from blogs and listening to podcasts?

Jesse Watters Primetime and Tucker Carlson Tonight
Tucker Carlson is based. One of (if not) the last guy in media nowadays that can't be bought. Shoutaht Tucker
+1
Dude is homies with Hunter Biden but ok keep telling yourself that lol
yea except when his son needed a letter of rec from Georgetown, Hunter Biden wrote him one. america is doomed
Axios, WSJ, Bloomberg Terminal, SeekingAlpha, Bloomberg Surveillance podcast, TradingView widget to keep an eye on general indices and other products (rates, commodities, etc). Macro Voices is another good podcast.
Morning Brew, Tucker Carlson, Gateway Pundit, Infowars, CitizensFreePress, True Pundit, Patriot Press, Washington Examiner, WSJ, OAN, Newsmax, Joe Rogan
based
Infowars primarily. Will check Fox too. No reason to use CNN or MSNBC - it’s all fake news. WSJ I’ll check and then try and see if other sources like Bloomberg said the same thing. Use this cross-checking method for every website.
This explains a lot
Coming from someone who lived in San Francisco for five years I couldn’t care less what a soyboy like you says

So you’re actually serious huh.. lmao
I see nothing wrong with this. Most channels today--CNN, Fox, MSNBC--offer nothing but sensationalized and fake content designed only to elicit dopamine rushes and tickle viewers' amygdala. If this guy derives more pleasure from consuming right-wing media than left-wing media, and isn't harming anyone over it, I don't see anything wrong with that? If anything it's viewers of left-wing channels who should be concerned about themselves: the sole purpose of outlets like CNN is to stoke antifa and promote violence, rioting, and looting; promote government overreach and infringement on basic liberties. Literally all Fox discusses are basic values like decency, civility, freedom, limited government, and the left's hypocrisy.
Alex Jones is more truthful than mainstream media. The lone flaw on his resume is sandy hook - if the left is so open to mental illness and being compassionate about vices, it’s known that he was dealing with alcoholism and a mental breakdown at the time.
Oh wait, that’s all irrelevant because his news doesn’t go with your narrative

*Tonight on MD undercover*
NYT and WSJ for news. The Atlantic, The New Yorker, and New York Mag for commentary. Vanity Fair, Vulture, and The Ringer for culture.
A lot of soy there
Amazed that he didn't even mention Crain's. that's big in RE circles.
I've got a buddy who's on payroll for writing sports @ NY Mag. great gig and got him and his wife a nice place in queens so I won't insult the papers.
People are actually going to bat for Infowars and Alex Jones? Are you guys high? No, you're just more impressionable than I thought.
^ This is what fluoride does to your brain
Tucker Carlson, some CNN, Bloomberg, infowars but mostly to check for live streams like he was first for Russia invasion and stuff always has unreleased videos before main. Try not to listen to his stuff essentially he does catch a lot of "conspiracy theories" that turn out to be true but he also has a lot of stuff that you cant prove and exposing yourself to all that negative info cannot be helpful. My theory on him is that he was smart uncovered a handful of conspiracy theories and then just went overload once he figured out how corrupt everything is.
The Onion
No but actually WSJ has the best reporting imo and I’ll read/watch CNN and Fox News to try to get different perspectives on issues
I used to read Term Sheet everyday but as soon as Jessica took over it went downhill and got overtly leftist and political, which is a massive turn off for me.
I just use it as a quick skim for deal announcements - this will be further incentive for me to ignore the top half haha
THe top half is horseshit now. I just skim the list of deals.
The Economist. The app is set up well for listening to the articles and I like the format/writing style.
I don’t watch the news at my place, but if I’m at my dad’s house usually it’s Fox News and sometimes CNN.
For non-biased news coverage check out Breaking Points. You’ll probably be annoyed w/ one of the two hosts depending on your political affiliation but it’s healthy debate and they do an honest job of sticking to the facts and then offering their own take clearly defined as opinion
WSJ is the primary, also like Hedgeye (which my firm pays for). FT is solid but I'll 10/10 take WSJ as the more interesting bundle of news across concepts
Economist can be interesting but it gets too self-righteous sometimes which annoys me
Bloomberg terminal, WSJ, Zero hedge, FT and NY post more for entertainment. I watch and listen to a lot of podcasts for interesting discussions about current events, The Hoover institution channel on youtube has great discussions with people like Niall Ferguson. PBD podcast is good, Patrick bet David does good interviews. Joe Rogan is great, although it is heavily dependent on the guest. All- in podcast is good and has interesting viewpoints although Chamath and Friedman are kinda douchy, David Sacks is fire though.
I watch Tucker Carlson regularly, even though I take his stuff with a grain of salt. People are really underestimating how sharp and funny this guy is IMO.
His shows make me chuckle more often than most stand up comedian shows.
I’ve seen tucker Carlson on the conference circuit before. Obviously a really smart and bright guy, fairly moderate as well. His TV show is more polarized and entertainment than ‘news’ however
BBG newsletters, FT, TechCrunch newsletters, invest like the best, web 3 breakdowns, Twitter
I try to get as much balanced/diverse news as I can. One of the few that has remained consistent for that throughout the years has been Drudge Report. Have been reading it for 20+ years and check it a few times/day.
lol
tik tok influencers and instagram infographics
The only trustable ones I use:
WSJ, FT, CGTN, SCMP, BBG, Reuters, Global Times.
I read a lot of what everyone else here is reading, mainly Reuters, FT, Al Jazeera, and InfoWars. But I also recommend that you guys geographically diversify your sources, or else you'll get caught up in the next Iraq-WMD and you won't even realize until later. Tehran Times is pretty good
From the NPC “cathedral”: The Economist, WSJ, FT
For Public Markets-specifics: Seeking Alpha, Bloomberg
For the daily divergent tick: Quillette, Aero Mag
We all know convexity in thought is severely lacking in these modern times happy to see all the diversity in this thread.
People on this board unironically watching Infowars and dismissing outlets like the WSJ. Jesus I hope none of you are advisors or fiduciaries.
FT, BNN (Canada news), and Twitter (between real time updates and users like 10-K Diver it’s great). I used to read the Economist, but it became far too biased.
Can someone explain what information they normally get from Info Wars?
I just went to it for the first time and one of the top articles is about the NWO banning car ownership, so I’m not sure if this is a joke or a more extreme version of Zero Hedge (which I do like)
I legitimately can't tell if those users are trolls or unironically read and consume Infowars articles.
They are young, single, angry males. The prime demographic to fall for the bullshit
I watch the live show. It covers news which the corporate media is motivated to hide. Some may call it "conspiracy theories," but that word is more of a political term these days. Funnily enough, leftists should be on board with the show since it talks a lot about billionaires, world economic forum, etc. Also, you may find some of the headlines to be hyperbolic, but the meat of their articles is often spot on.
Did you even read the article? It's actual news. World Economic Forum calls to reduce private vehicles by eliminating 'ownership'. Heres from the official WEF website:
""This transition from fossil fuels to renewables will need large supplies of critical metals such as cobalt, lithium, nickel, to name a few," the forum said in a report earlier this month. "Shortages of these critical minerals could raise the costs of clean energy technologies."
This infowars article pinpoints the dangers of Globalism. The US has already bought into the Globalist system with the Paris Accords. We pay China and others to pollute while we experience Green inflation and job loss. We must not let other countries set our policies.
Newsletters: Morning Brew, Axios, WSJ 10 Point. News: WSJ and NYT. Don't really watch TV news.
CNBC, WSJ, Economist, Yahoo Finance, CNN/FOX
