I just read that oil markets are being deliberately manipulated to drive prices higher and make the impact on the population worse. Before I share or act on it, I want to verify if it’s true.
What are your go-to methods or tools for fact-checking economic or political news? Also, which communities on Lemmy (or the wider fediverse) are best for this kind of thing?
Thanks for any tips!
I get news from multiple countries. That helps.

I’m editing this comment because I provided the wrong suggestion.
Correct link below

note that this is a video channel that doesn’t seem to produce articles. every single piece on the frontpage is clickbait. Let’s see if they’re also BS.
This is just what every Lemming knows about Israel already + “no apartheid could possibly endure”. The video ends on “When and how the system of ethnic supremacy in the eastern Mediterranean comes to an end is impossible to foresee, but end it will.”
I see no original research.
This is just “British journalism is bad”, illustrated with examples from Daily Mail, Telegraph, BBC. I mean, you’re not wrong, but…
No revelations here. The Guardian isn’t even mentioned and I think The Guardian is still pretty good.
Domestic UK affairs are undeserving of the label “Global Politics” and absolutely not “US politics”.
At this point I don’t want to analyze more videos. I’ll just post the headlines of the other four pieces on the frontpage.
note this neat, website-exclusive disclosure:
unwilling to take accountability, DDN’s editorial board does not seem strong.
That’s not the sort of content I encountered on YouTube. Now I’m thinking I sent the wrong link.
okay I double checked cause I had a few videos saved
Yeah I think I was mixed up.
The icons are both Ds and I definitely mixed them up with each other.
I just did a quick Google search to get the home page. And looked at the “about” and was like . Yeah that’s it. But I’m pretty sure I made a mistake. I didn’t mean to recommend ddN. But DW
It’s DW news. Not DDN.

Yeah double down is clickbait. Like all of it. Yikes.
ah, Deutsche-Welle, Germany’s NPR. they are really good, and they publish articles too.

Yeah it’s high quality and independent investigations, not just repeating what everyone else says. I really like it and they seem to go in depth a bit more.
I mistakenly thought it was a smaller news organization. It’s pretty big.
