I am not listening to any Legacy/ MSM....

I stopped recording MSNBC which I did for days I'm not home/working.... I won't even go visit either now...They are trying to normalize tRump, looking for or making up stuff he will do that is good...

Yea, they have a boss and want to keep their jobs, I get that but I can't embrace their discussion.... Nope.

I can get a feel for stuff via DU and some YouTube, PBS and C-Span....

I'm done with them all. It's not like they're providing much news in the first place. Especially the morning infotainment shows. They spend more time talking about some dumbass TV show, and giving free ad time to whatever shit they're trying to sell, than they do actual news. Fuck them all.

that I only watch Nicolle and Rachel on cable TV. I am probably going to stop watching Nicolle if she keeps inviting people like motor mouth John Heilmann on her show.

Hopefully freespeechtv.org will continue to be allowed to operate.

May-be if everything does start going south and badly, I might turn in. Right now tho??? Will not be watching for quite awhile. I just can’t.

I have not, been watching more geopolitical stuff lately. Mostly China/US relations. Point of views of expats. Sports. Never watched msnbc/cnn to begin with. Need to keep trying to hold the line regardless.

I dropped MSNBC on Election night - obvious the bosses have muzzled the talking heads. It was my last try for M$M.

No more.

Here are 3 of my favorite online news sources. There are many more - do a search.

The Nation Online and print - having a GREAT sale right now.

The Guardian (British) NO paywall
