if you're turning off msm, a suggestion.
subscribe to your local paper instead. support your closest npr station.
lordy do i miss the days when the chgo tribune kept it’s opinion out of the news, and had bureaus all over the world. they had some awesome reporters. there was a show on the local npr station, wbez, ‘worldview w sandra gair’. it was so good, and she regularly had the big trib writers on. such great convos. (she had the best guests, in general. her son was the producer of nightline.)
about the time she passed, the trib started closing bureaus and slanting the news. they also got rid of nicole hollander’s sylvia comic strip. that was the last straw. so i switched to the sun times.
but it’s been ages since i got a paper. the s-t is now a non-profit, part of wbez’s corp, i believe. i signed up for a monthly donation yesterday. i’ll toss a few bucks to wbez, too, as i have many, many, many times. i used to listen all day, now it’s mostly in the car. but i check their website pretty often for local stories.
what i’m trying to say is- msm has been captured. we all know we need lefty sources. but we also badly need local papers, no matter the slant. and they’re going under at a high rate of speed. so unless your local paper is a total rw rag, consider subscribing. it they lean the wrong way, write ltte’s. push them.
but if we want better media, those of us who can afford it, must support it.

May I Suggest:
Thom Hartmann (who will also give you history of how it got this way)
Randi Rhodes
Farron Cousins
Rebel HQ
Brian Tyler Cohen
and get off TV altogether, MSM is TooFarGone.
You Can Do it. I cut the cord in 2008! 
Like my parents taught me, TV people are there to make money.
But now they're there to steal your vote.
I don't know if it's an undiagnosed condition, but I can't do print in columns, I can barely do DU!
The newspaper company with the most daily newspapers in the United States was Gannett as of 2024, with 215 daily titles. Tribune/News Media Group, also known as Digital First Media and owned by hedge fund Alden Global Capital, ranked second with 77 daily newspapers. Through his company FoxNews Corp, Rupert Murdoch is the owner of hundreds of local, national, and international newspaper and publishing outlets around the world! 
So, buyer beware of what you're reading!
once gone, it may never come back, even with a Democratic government.
Did Clinton reverse the Reagan tax cuts? Did Obama? Did Biden? 
Only Thom Hartmann will tell you the truth about tax cuts and who it affects.
Once Social Security and Medicare are gone, they're gone. They ain't coming back!
PBS? NPR? Free Speech?
Even a Democratic president would still have to fight the opposing politicians in Congress and even those in his own party, because politicians don't run this country, donors do. Selfish, greedy, Ayn Rand donors.
Elections have consequences. Somebody didn't 'teach their children well', as you can see by their wanting to 'undo'.
There is no undo.
for their hard copy paper (for those reading it), their digital app, and their online website--as well as their online rendered newspaper version. While the survey was more about how they provided content, they did allow several options to critique whatever one wanted to comment on. And, I DID so in considerable detail as well as contrasting what they were doing better than NYT, WAPO, LAT, and a few others.
I guess someone reads it. But, I do get sufficient local news (and also subscribe to a front-range local paper via digital access only) so, I can attest to the value.
I just don't know what the business model will be in the future, though. All papers are having to dramatically drop the subscription price with one-year offers right now--hoping, obviously, that those subscribers will continue with the much higher regular price after that period. To me, it is invaluable and like public radio, and public TV, I think we should have subsidies--either Federal or state-based to assist in funding local papers and radio.
But, I guess I dream of a Utopia, because the R's intend to cut NPR and PBS at their first opportunity.
