Actual well-rounded YT news sources?
My gf’s father is a bright man, but that sometimes goes to his head when he thinks he’s got things “figured out.” Sounds familiar, right? That line of thinking, especially when not coupled with a strong formal education, sounds like prime real estate for some radicalization.
The specific purpose of this post is because of the following. As a man who grew up in the Soviet Union and immigrated to the states in the ‘70s, he has been pushed even further from “mainstream” news outlets that he deems as propagandistic. Of course, there is some truth to such an accusation, but it unfortunately has led to this Luddite of a man to seek his news from the oft-radicalizing algorithm of YouTube.
If we clear his cookies and start him from scratch, can you suggest some consistently well-rounded news sources on the platform that we could use to steer his algorithm away from disaster? The more internationally-sourced and relatively unbiased, the better.
TIA!
