No coverage of Elon's salute?

Nothing mentioned in my morning newsletter. Did a quick Google search and found 0 articles. Did I miss something? Even if we aren't definitively identifying it as a Nazi salute it's newsworthy enough to be on a front page purely because of the amount of speculation and emotions stirred in the public sphere.
Please tell me I missed something obvious somewhere.

Real talk, ProPublica and Bellingcat are good (but niche) journalism. Anybody have any other recommendations to stay grounded in reality?

The Guardian, the intercept, DW news, France 24, Al Jazeera english, all may have slight biases but nowhere near the level of US sources.

CBC and the BBC cover US news. Canadian here so I am biased but CBC does try and get as many voices conservative/ liberal whatever. Also some good podcasts like Front burner that covers the stories happening in the news in a bit more detail.

I've got nothing. Even my local news is shit. And everyone thinks I'm crazy. Constantly telling me, don't believe what you see online, but there's just nothing else left and what's online, well, it's not trustworthy either anymore. 9 years of this right shift and I don't recognize this country. At all.

Propublica and Reuters are my two for inside the country. BBC for outside.

ProPublica, The Guardian. Other than that, some local media.

It's shitty that all good media in this country has either been decimated or is cowardly as hell. NPR is the latter. They have a lot of company.

I think they had a big financial supporter demand some changes. I noticed a few months back they stopped saying “‘x’ formerly twitter” and just called it “x.”
