My dad has been watching bad youtube since they funnel people to bad content— he likes political news and to keep up with the war in Ukraine— what are some better youTube channels I can subscribe him to to clean up his feed? now it has that guy who always lies saying Russia is about to win on it — I showed him how he has said the same thing for two years and I think he’s ready for new stuff.

@futurebird I don't know.It's pretty hard to get them out of Trump/Putin propaganda If I did know how to cure that I would have done it.

He also liked Anton Petrov’s space news so that’s an improvement. I don’t think he’d like anything from a big network like MSNBC. (he also hates fox, so that’s fine with me)

@futurebird. The Daily Kos site has several contributors providing Ukraine content. The content is screened to the site standards.

@ViolaB He was pretty disgusted watching older videos from Ritter who looks very foolish if you go back even a few months. I think he just wants to feel like he’s getting “the inside story” but youTube is bad for that.

@futurebird I don't think it's a good idea to try to find out what the inside story is...As someone who got pretty close to things that might be the truth...I did met a lot of important politics get hacked, get whistle blower stuff, get informations earlier than others do...You don't want to know the truth fr.

@futurebird I don't who Ritter is...But I accidentally got involved in a lot of government and politic stuff I actually don't know why...:/ Was it the Bilderberger stuff? The Illuminati stuff, the CCC stuff, the thing that I was to curios about Buffet and other old rich families? I can't tell

@futurebird Hm…The person on YouTube I like for War-in-Ukraine news is Anders Puck Nielsen. He has a distinct pro-Ukraine position (he technically works for the Danish military, he's a professor at a naval college or something) but he stays objective about the facts and is upfront enough about his personal positions they're easy enough to factor out. He's good at citing his primary sources.TLDR News is dense but clear deep dives on world politics. I like just reading Google News better, but…

@futurebird He’s Ukrainian himself and is open about being pro-Ukraine, but he’s balanced and fact based about the situation on the ground. I would say no, but it kinda depends on want you mean by “rah rah”. There is the occasional Putin joke

@ViolaB Ritter is an embarrassment of a Russian shill. A goofy man who is often wrong— but millions of 60+ US men watch him for some godforsaken reason.

@futurebird It's okay let him do it as long as he doesn't like or admire him.If he is able to see him as russian propaganda I don't see a problem.But if he is sharing his point of view it is.

@futurebird The Young Turks have their heart in the right place.And some of their journalism is good too.(most of it is too heavy on commentary and consequently superficial, though)If his french is good, Frank Lepage's "Incultures" is great (as is the hors-serie.net website, BTW) but it's not "political news", more deep analysis.FD Signifier makes too long videos for my taste but what I watched was quite interesting.For political news, nothing beats the Juice Media anyway.

@futurebird my son and i watch TedEd videos, minute earth, smarter every day, etc. There are a bunch of interesting makers and science content. For history, oversimplified taught me more about world history than i learned in school. We are currently enjoying Yarnhub that covers exploits of various wwii folks. Chef John is great if he has any interest in cooking.And Taskmaster is delightful. Start with the British ones.

@futurebird I'm not sure if anyone has suggested William Spaniel yet but he seems like a pretty solid source of neutral information:https://www.youtube.com/@Gametheory101He's a professor who's written a few books on the Russia/Ukraine war and I think he's even published a paper about it. Despite his academic background I think his videos are pretty easy to digest.

@futurebird I use a browser extension to block recommended videos and the home page, and follow channels via RSS so that I can avoid youtube as much as possible. Bad ranking algorithms enrage me at this point XD

@futurebird I like Dylan Burns’ Ukraine coverage. He was a very political debate-focused young streamer, but mostly left that behind to go to Ukraine to cover the war. His opinions are informed by being there and talking to Ukrainians.https://m.youtube.com/@DylanBurnsLIVE/videos

@futurebird For balanced regular sitreps I follow Military & History: https://youtu.be/C8Xc-CXOlSEThick german accent. Ex military. He does not hesitate to point out bad news while openly stating that he supports ukraine actively. He is cautious with his statememts, and often redirects his viewers towards @anderspuck or other subject experts.

@futurebird @jess Denys is Ukrainian, and believes strongly in their fight for freedom. Definitely not "objective", but he is grounded in reality, and is not shy about criticizing the Ukrainian government and generals.

@helvick @futurebird For space news specifically on YouTube:@skrishna also provides pretty good reporting.And, more generally:I endorse only watching YouTube with history disabled and while blocking what tracking can be blocked.Otherwise "watching space news videos" turns into "get recommendations for ancient alien conspiracists and flat earthers", with more actively dangerous disinformation channels one click beyond that.

@michael_w_busch @helvick @futurebird can I just tell you the NUMBER of offers I have gotten (with money thrown at me) to host ancient alien-type shows on networks has been appalling. it's kind of horrifying.
