As a citizen in Europe I’m a little concerned about what’s going on. I’m not politically engaged enough to be following lots of it. But nowadays I’m seeing a lot of misinformation or ultra-left/right wing stuff so I’m in need of a resource that thorough and trustworthy.

So far I found snopes.com and allsides.com. Any opinions on those? Any more recommendations?

To expand a little bit, my opinion is not always aligned with current policies. That’s why I’m a bit cynical about politics, and disinterested in following it closely. I feel there’s no way for me to influence any of it in a meaningful way. I do vote, but always on a fringe party, because they align the best with my views, but consequently have almost no influence. I wont give an example because that will inevitably derail the discussion, but often I agree that there is a problem, but I think the solution is a dumb compromise which is correct on paper but only partly in reality plus causing a real big problem somewhere else or in another problem domain. I’m of the opinion that solutions exist, but they are almost never implemented just based on the scientific data available. On top of that, everything is polarized now, so the majority of the voters are not interested in honestly reviewing their opinions, and will just parrot whatever fits their bias, even if its misinformation. All of the above combined worries me…
