Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Does anyone know how trustworthy/genuine they are. It would be nice to have true independent reporting on what is happening in Ukraine, but sometimes I have the feeling they are just partisans from the other side. Especially there support for trump kinda turns me off. I get it, Biden sucks, but Trump is not gonna make anything better. Plus I have the feeling one of them is online gambling without muting the sound effects, especially during the recent recordings. Still better than the NYT though.
I've been following them for a while, and I do find their analysis is generally sober. In particular, they do a fairly decent job predicting trends and actually being correct. They do have a right wing bias you have to account for, but I still find that they tend to be factual and have useful insights. I just disagree with their framing and opinions on what's desirable a lot of the time.
