    FYI, MintPress news (featured in the screenshot) is funded by shadowy oligarchs associated with Putin, Assad, and Iran. That’s how a journalism student with no real world experience founded and funded a million-dollar news source.

    I’d trust this app about as far as I can throw Putin.

    While it’s nice, let’s not forget that it’s exactly the kind of thing that right wingers are doing with mainstream media and how much it hurts to only have one view of the world.

    This is a bad, stupid, reckless, destructive and dangerous idea. We don’t need more echo chambers radicalising people to one pole or other.

      Yes we absolutely do. Articulate the value of having right wing state propaganda as part of your “news” intake. Don’t just say this is an echo chamber, articulate why including right wing media is good for you.

      And to be clear, I’m not endorsing or saying I trust this organization.

      Edit: don’t downvote and run away. If you think it’s so important to have right wing news in your life, articulate your reasoning. Put it into words.

      Consuming propaganda willingly is not the same thing as not being in an echo chamber, you’re just consuming propaganda, willingly.
