    ***ding ding ding we have a WINNER***

    If you think what you're watching is real news and they are discussing what we should be as a species, you're a total fucking sucker

    But I'm the bad guy for pointing it out? There will be order, so give up your mind... everyone is being brainwashed purposefully, whether you like it or not folks.... OMG, did you see what Chloe was wearing??? OMG, did you see what Trump said??? OMG, is that toilet paper on his shoe????

    Meanwhile, the working class and planet us getting fucking raped.... resources are completely fucking wasted on weapons of war, after the "news" creates more fear, more boogeymen, and more enemies

    The game is over folks, but at least turn off the fake fucking news

    I use Twitter to aggregate reporters and pundits I either like or find interesting. Robert Costa at the Washington Post, Maggie Haberman at the New York Times, David From, the Crooked Media guys to name a few. I don't watch cable news at all anymore and rarely watch my local news. There is a blog in my town which is great for local news and info.
    I only listen to Pod Save America from Crooked Media. How are the rest of their shows?
    I took a break from all political podcasts after the elections last year so I'm not up to date, but Pod Save America was usually good. We saw them live in Boston last May and it was great. Lovett or Leave It could be good or could be rough depending on the guests. Tommy Vietor's Pod Save The World was almost always an interesting listen but drier than the others. I didn't really explore much beyond those three but there are a few others.
    Thanks for the info. I haven't listened to the others because I don't have the time (only so many podcasts I can listen to in a day) and I figured I would stick to the big podcast with the whole cast together.

    I listen to the NY Times daily podcast, Washington Post's daily podcast, the Gist podcast and CBC, NPR world news podcasts almost every day.

    I also listen to Stay Tuned With Preet, Trump Inc, This American Life, Radio Lab, Slow Burn and Making Sense with Sam Harris almost weekly.

    There are others but those are the regulars. If you have any others that you can recommend I'm always interested in hearing about more.

    I pretty much agree.  I read (and once in a long while watch) news for these reasons:

    1) For entertainment and humor value (since most of it is a joke anyway).
    2) To get a general idea of what people are thinking (or, more often, not thinking).
    3)  To get a general idea of what the major events going on in the world are about (to do this, you have to read widely and then assume much of what you've read is bullshit).
    4) To keep abreast of local issues like the Camp Fire last year that destroyed our neighboring town to the north on the slope of the western Sierra.

    I just started watching The Young Turks(TYT).

    It's pretty funny.  Left leaning but funny.
