This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

General "centrist" unbiased news coverage tends not to affirm right-wing beliefs so they have to retreat into fringe independent media.

"Centrist" media tends to affirm things like the results of good science and vague inclusion, so liberals are happy to listen to it. It's only self-described socialists or other "far left" euphemisms that recognize the deference to capitalism as problematic.
