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!


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.
