I've been meaning to ask this question: What news sites, blogs, and journalists do you follow for news and current events?
Maybe we'll set up a repository somewhere for people to reference, that can be updated over time as people and publications become more or less relevant/reliable.
I wouldn't call the Taz leftist. They're pretty liberal, and under the delusion of being leftist - kind of like most of the German left lol.
ND is kind if debatable too, I'd say. Especially from an ML point of view.
