The best
Let me add that Inwatch some folks on M$NBComcast, BBC Al Jazeera and local.
That said I watch some of these for opinions not news

You might be better off building up a list of trusted independent news sources online.

I generally come to DU as a first stop, then follow up with links and threads I find here to dig into news stories. So, I’m pretty good as far as staying informed.

I’m looking for something to feed my TV news habit. I’m going through MSNBC withdrawal and looking for a fix.

Admitting you have a problem is the first step!

Lots of great independent news organizations post there regularly. Many legacy organizations do as well.

freespeechtv.org, Nicolle Wallace, Rachel Maddow.

...Nicole Wallace, Maddow, Alex Wagner, Joy Reid, Chris Hayes -all the way up to Lawrence then I usually fall asleep.

And DU and BlueSky of course!

No more television. Can't even watch MSNBC for more than a few minutes before I get pissed off. I just want information. Not so much people telling me how I need to feel about it.

My substack list is growing- Recently added the Contrarian because its staffed by some of the best writers out there.

I've cancelled the newspapers too as they are all run by right wing cranks now- LA Times, NY Times.

Even all of these will be put on the shelf for 72 hours beginning 1/20 during my self-imposed media blackout as I do not want to get sucked into the vortex off all the craziness that will be reported on the first few days of this new American hell.

Randi Rhodes, Mary Trump Media and the Nerd Avengers. Danielle Moodie, Keith Olbermann and Meidas.

Free Speech TV and Zeteo, Owen Jones. Majority Report, Humanist Report

Nothing corporate, nothing partisan.

They have a dollar a week deal for four weeks. After that, I'll consider a yearly subscription. These seem pretty truth based and journalistically sound.
