calling EN24 the fox news of eve is insulting to fox news; EN24 is more like the WorldNetDaily of EVE

most people who cry about TMC being "biased" are morons who are upset that a writer made a mistake in an article and misrepresented something about their lowsec/NPC null trash alliance that didn't even respond to the writer, or are upset because an op/ed published there doesn't agree with their own views on what the game should be like, or they're upset about something they read in a GSF CEO update reposted to TMC which is always preceded by text saying "this is /supposed/ to be propaganda so don't cry about it"

either way their opinions are worthless

npc alts have no opinions worth consideration

This is probably the closest you get. Just saying.


i'm dying to hear developments about "Clashes on Caldari Prime quelled by Mordu's Legion" and "Pirate factions express interest in Covert Research Tools" rather than articles that cover actual conflicts between actual players that affect the gameplay of thousands of actual players

because, you know, people care about game lore

I don't think 'real' objectivity is possible in any kind of human communication, given cognitive flaws and the like. One man's objective truth is another man's bias or slander, etc.

When people are confronted with facts they dislike, they find ways to reject them or dismiss them. Most of the 'real news' industry in Freedomland these days is just a function of confirmation bias - folks watch/read stuff that reinforces their preexisting notions about the world, and seems more like entertainment than reportage.

Enjoy my dumb website or don't, I don't really care to argue about 'objectivity'. Someone who wishes to attack the site isn't likely to be reading it anyway, so who cares what they think? vOv

And yeah, the TMC comments are heavily moderated. You can't type like an idiot, use racial or ethnic slurs, or attack the site itself without getting nuked.

Are there any unbiased EVE news site?



Any news site be it about eve or rl is biased.


After all it is written by humans.


Edit: Well appearantly mittens had about the same idea there ...

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

I like to check out TMC for updates on how much Star Citizen raised, and to see Martini writing articles that are nothing but adds that rehash deals I've seen in places like Slickdeals.

It used to have some nice EVE related articles when it opened, but I guess since nothing is happening in eve anymore, it's all about monetizing the Goons and pushing other games.

if you are looking for good and current news on eve i would suggest reddit.com/r/eve

thats a good place to start...


ahahahahaha no

try posting against the grain there and you'll come back in 10 minutes to see your post downvoted into oblivion and autohidden

oh and the moderators there are total aspies who believe themselves to be the final authority on what is "relevant" to EVE, which includes deleting posts with certain titles but, strangely enough, copy/pasting entire blog posts, devblogs and TMC articles (all of which are covered by copyright) into self-posts perfectly fine

oh well, won't be long until the subreddit is nuked by the admins for just that


you say that because themittani.com broke the rules and got banned from the site. (upvoting scams are not allowed. i think its the only place where the goon blob got nerfed)

and by your definition the moderators at the mittani.com are also douches because they delete posts., copy and paste SOTA's, and think they are the final authority on what is "relevant" to eve.

Remember, history is written by the victors.

I just turned into an egg, did I level up? I spent an hour trying to salvage a wreck, when in local a guy said "Stop it, this is my Tempest, I was AFK"
