Oh, you can go way further to the left of Jacobin.

… and way further to the right than OANN or Breitbart.

I’m always skeptical of media with an obvious institutional slant of any kind. Sometimes that’s true even if it’s a slant I kind of agree with.

Kind of narrows the media pool though. Most media these days is there to fellate someone’s existing worldview.

I hope that most people would try to get their news from sources who endeavor to report with as much of an objective perspective as possible, but I expect that most are comfortable with getting an editorial or interpretation of the facts from a biased perspective. I can read Jacobin with the same interest as I read the National Review, but I would never trust either to give me an unobjective statement of facts.

You can also shave off some IQ points by hitting yourself in the head… not sure _why_ you would do that though.

I'm just pointing out that Jacobin is hardly far left.
