Bluesky sucks. X is still the best site to use compared to that and Threads. It is easy to ignore all the MAGA bullshite too if that is what bothers you

If you thought major media organizations operated entirely independently, the numbers tell a more complex story. Data from USAspending.gov and other sources reveal that several legacy media outlets have received significant funding from US government agencies, including USAID and NASA. While some argue this funding supports press freedom and media development, others raise concerns about potential conflicts of interest. Here’s a breakdown of how much government money has been directed toward these organizations.
Reuters received $9 million, awarded to its subsidiary Thomson Reuters Special Services (TRSS) by the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The funding was for evaluating defensive tools, not newsroom activities, but the connection sparked debate. Reuters clarified that TRSS is a separate entity from its news division, emphasizing that the funding did not influence its editorial independence.

To get back on track doesn’t Reuters or anyone else you like post on Twitter/X (at the moment search and viewing who I follow using my X profile are struggling at the moment to verify if Reuters suffered MDS & dropped out)? Also did Reuters take USAID money like the AP?
I make lists based on local news and weather, national news, and sports news? Do you know who I don’t follow under any of those news lists? Twitter/X.
You made the comment “Probably should choose a different news source than X” which isn’t a new organization, but it does have various news organizations and their individual reporters that post on X and share links to main stories. It then allows comments and discourse on these news items including updated information or more context to the news article which allows a more objective look at the actual news written about in any news article which are all biased these days including reuters many times.
When TT9 is on your side about a post like yours about using a different news source than X you should know it swings left and full of TDS & MDS regardless of your intention.

“boycott X” - Tell us you are a butt hurt and always offended cultist suffering from MDS without actually telling us.
I don’t know any objective and reasonable people or news organizations local or national that consistently post on Bluesky or are even on it. It has also become more Stalinist in its moderation than Twitter ever was before Musk bought it. They actively push not wanting anyone who doesn’t think like them. It’s become an echo chamber for the constantly offended left.

No, I’m just not retarded and don’t think in black and white. I think it says a lot that you just used the acronyms TDS and MDS with full sincerity. I’m not arguing this with you, I’m letting you know that most rational people (most aren’t online by the way) would see that and you’re probably going to be discredited. It’s honestly baffling.
I can read an article and realize it’s trying to tilt one way or another. I can read a leftist article, see the slant and then dig into right wing articles that portray the same point and try to form a conclusion based on the points both articles agree on.
At the end of the day, I’m not stupid enough to think any journalism in 2025 is going to be without a slant. I’m also not stupid enough to care. I want the facts of what is happening. With Reuters, I get the facts more than with any mainstream news outlet. I’m also not trusting random people on X.
The entire point is to know what’s going on and then form my own conclusion. Usually that means getting a POV from both the left and the right.

Correct. Reddit has been pulling a full-court press on a bunch of their subs to ban all X content/links (because Elon is a Nazi, of course) and will only accept posts from Bluesky. It’s super pathetic.

+1 if Twitter fails, then I'll be done with that type of app. I'll just hang out here more

I only use tigerdroppings. I don't even have any social media apps on my phone.
I'd like to tell everyone how great it is not having social media but I need people to slog through it and post the good stuff here.
To everyone exposing themselves to constant mind numbing brain rot in order to bring information to tigerdroppings, thank you for your service. I salute you all.
