I read all my news on the internet and local newspapers.

It seems to me that television is the worst possible medium for news and opinion.

Our local public radio station has some good state and local coverage but I don't pay attention to their national news, mostly because I can't stand hearing Trump.

I still listen to NPR, but expect NOTHING from them when reporting on politics. "The Dems said this, the President said that, we won't tell you if Trump was lying, oh well."

That said, Terry Gross is a national treasure.

Excellent. She is the perfect empath. I don't listen otherwise.

Everyone loves Terri Gross.

They think she sounds condescending. Hubby and I were amazed. We really like her.

I use various sites because I don't just want one source. I avoid opinionated pundits, as well, if they show a certain kind of corporate/right wing bias, but even that gives me an idea of what they think.

Written news is preferable to me because it tends to be to the point, (like the good old days) and there is less interjection of talking head detritus. So, you have many sources.

So, I guess I am saying that radio and TV sources, especially mainstream, usually allow for more bias and time filling that I don't need in order to form my own opinions and to add to my understanding. That's one of the problems now is that "experts" or bubble heads talk about it too much. Back in the old days, other than editorials, you got mostly details and it was up to you to decide or find out mroe.

I can get the gist more quickly from reading rather than watching or listening.

And an occasional trip to "the other side of the tracks" is useful too.

and Al Jazera are what I use. I do not turn the Cable Noise on for any reason whatsoever.

I'm sending your list to my daughter's "LOUD and 18" political group.

to any broadcasts. I just read, and I'm trying to quit.

MSNBC, DU, and the Washington Post, although I will peruse a good story elsewhere on occasion. Don't really care for CNN, not sure why?

I am angry at the people who consistently try to defund it and make it more dependent on corporate sponsors.

I donate a few times a year - the stations are having money problems so they need to fundraise more often - and I don't actually donate to my local station, I choose another one that is smaller and in more need of help. They appreciate the support, and need it.

I don't think most NPR hosts want to have people on who are climate change deniers, etc., in order to provide balance (I strongly agree with the person on the other thread who said that NPR has been forced into a pattern of false equivalency in order to avoid charges of bias), but that's the reality they live in right now. I know a number of people who work for NPR affiliates, and they are all extremely smart, dedicated, hard-working, and trying their best to put out a fair and informative product.

We can't allow ourselves to let the perfect be the enemy of the good here. (BTW, I listen to CBC radio too, and they also give a voice to right-wing politicians, and I don't think they are caving into bias). We absolutely do not want to lose NPR, who are doing what they can to stay afloat at the moment.
