My rounds are: Al Jazeera English, Reuters, CNN, TeleSur English, dw.com, Intercept, and Grayzone. I try and post anything interesting to !news@hexbear.net along the way (but haven't done so in a while.
Ideally people would do the same and I could just say "/c/news is a reasonable news aggregator" and leave it at that. Needs more general interest stories, and to be a bit less chapo-ey in posts. I'd love to see a "regular" news site with a very left comment section.
Nevertheless, TeleSur and maybe Greyzone are really the only leftist news publications on the list, and I'm sure that if I read more from them I'll come up with my own criticisms. Many people on here listen or have listened to Citations Needed and are very media literate, so I don't mind using liberal sources since the comments will usually provide plenty of criticism of the article. When reading and/or posting, I definitely avoid articles that have imperialist headlines, but there are plenty of articles with informative headlines and content that we should be aware of that are imperialist in tone. Not to mention that only relying on state-media (due to bias/major blind-spots) or independent socialist media (due to blind spots and lack of resources to do primary reporting) will leave one short of being fully informed imo. There are enough comrades on chapo that I feel comfortable having discussions that I wouldn't have in other spaces (such as about CNN and Reuters articles).
I do not know what you mean? both of these publications said very hurtful things about Venezuela's fight for freedom y democracia. Things such as "maduro is legitimate" and "Guaido know nothing".
They are not trusting. I instead recommend CNN or 700 Club.
AliJ's coverage of latin america (particularly VZ and Cuba) is - and I cannot stress this enough - dog shit. But that's really the only major gripe I have with them. They're run by the Quatari royal family so they are by nature anti socialist. Other than that they have really good journalism and documentaries

I am always very skeptical of Al Jazeera English and El Interceptor, they have written very critical stories of Venezuela.
Is this in character?

My apologies Mr. Guaido, please send me a downvote and carry on in your mission to liberate the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela

That could actually be very useful
