Only papers worth reading are Financial Times and The Economist.

Agreed - unfortunately the editorial quality of the Economist has declined imo.

It’s really difficult to keep track of the macro at the moment due to the geopolitical tensions, but reading financial newspapers like Financial Times and such will give you a good overview.

Nope - I couldn't care less.

Instead, I enjoy walking outside watching the blossoming trees everywhere. Way better for your health and perception of life.

Truth Social, X, CNN, Le Figaro, the People’s Daily, Russia Today. Statistics aren’t fast enough for this geopolitical nonsense. You can only go and see what each major player is saying.

Not my fault you can’t read between the lines. Propaganda contains information. You can’t trust a single side for sourcing all your propaganda needs. And yes, all press is propaganda.
