Jesus H Christ, I'm only just now hearing about the Derna flooding.
Eleven thousand people killed, and my radio's just been banging on about trump and biden as usual. Hell all I've seen on fedi was one post comparing it to 9/11.
I need to go back to listening to better news sources.
@ifixcoinops yeah, the fediverse can be too much of a bunch of islands sometimes. I've seen quite a few messages about this. But maybe because I'm in Europe I suppose
@ifixcoinops I mean what’s so important about someplace flooding and 11,000 dead when we have the Dumpster to talk about and give press and Biden who’s actually doing a decent job with what he inherited to malign? Get your priorities straight, gotta have those soundbites!!!
@ifixcoinops@seachanger If you're trying to limit it to radio news have you played around with radio.garden? Might take a some looking to find a station that isn't just music (or ESL, obviously), but there'll be some anglophone stations somewhere that have news that isn't just the network-TV or iHeart news cycles.
If you want BBC radio in particular it has BBC World Service as one of the gazillion stations in London.
@derickr I used to get my news from the beeb via the radio (well, streaming internet version of radio I guess) while at work, since covid killed that employer I've been just HUGELY under-informed about anything going on in the world (I live in the US)
