if you're turning off msm, a suggestion.

35. Good suggestions

I subscribe to my hometown paper, the AJC (mainly to support their resident genius Mike Luckovich), my NPR and PBS stations, and a few other outlets. I’ve contributed to Pro Publica for years and just added a paid subscription to The Guardian.

I cancelled my Washington Post subscription after the Bezos cowardly obey-in-advance move, too, btw. (My main regret there is that I’m no longer supporting Alexandra Petri.) And we’re watching very little TV news or punditry — mostly just the PBS Newshour, which is, relative to MSM outlets, a breath of fresh air. Also the BBC.

If your only window on the world is cable blab-fests, you might think U.S. electoral politics is almost the entirety of “the news,” except for the occasional disaster or outrage du jour. I like knowing what’s going on in the rest of the world (and this country).
