The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The mainstream media is failing us under Trump's fascist takeover...

I think there is much to be said for "mainstream" that is outside the US.
The Economist

There is something nice about those old-school places that have fact checkers, have their own staff reporters and writers, and have responsibility/liability for what they say. Every outlet will have some selectivity about which stories get more emphasis, but that's a lot better than simply making shit up or looking for a hook upon which to hang an agenda.

I have also heard very good things about DW.com from Germany (in English), though I haven't developed the habit of reading it myself.
