Not watching MSNBC. Not watching local news. Not watching the late night shows. Fuck the newspapers and their websites.

I'm Done! It will be a hard addiction to give up, but I feel like an abused spouse, and it's time.

If you have any online sites to recommend please do. Thanks and it's time to put them out of business.

I don't know if you mentioned her. She has a clear, level headed video posted today, that is very minimal on the sugar coating. She's living in the stark reality of what's to come.

Thank you ...

to Dr. Mary last night, and her Nerd Avengers. Got very tense towards the end when things went south.

my refusal to support MSM, especially FOX. I'll have to figure out how to watch the Niners but they suck this year anyway.

Lots of overseas sites to check out sports try crackstreams. Not too many pop-ups.

Randi Rhodes and Dr. Mary Trump. Add these two wonderful women.

compiling a list.

Although I'm very much going to have a hard time listening to her anymore either. Skipped today's show.

It was fun to laugh about things these past few years, but now the reality of our situation has hit, and there's nothing remotely funny about it.

Not funny at all, we all need time to process this. take your time.

I tend to be a glass half empty person to begin with, big shock. But I really feel like things will never be good again in this country during the remainder of my lifetime. I get depressed at times, but this is different. This is a deep seated depression which I truly believe will linger for years and years to come.

My condolences on your family who have passed this year, and your cousin in the hospital. You're very strong to maintain a positive attitude given what 2024 has thrust upon you.

Call her and tell her that you love her work.

I got the PPV instead. I imagine she'll go through with the planned DC show a few days before inauguration, but I feel like telling her it should be cancelled. Nobody will be in the mood to laugh, not to mention it's a tad unsafe for liberals to be in one place at that particular time.

she had malcom nance on and if there is an audio of what he was saying i highly recommend it.
joan esposito played a couple clips of him from stephanie miller's show today
it was wow-ing

Not sure I'm in the mood for a 3 hour funeral show either, but it's reassuring to know that her show was subdued. Not surprising, since she seems like a level headed person, or knows the reality we're about to face.

Mary Trump's post on YouTube is very much the same. An honest reflection with no sugar coating.

wcpt plays two hours of her in the evenings (and a rerun on saturday mornings i think)

i'm listening to her now -- she recorded it earlier today (she's playing kamala's speech from today)

Are you a monthly podcast subscriber?? If not, I post on Liberal You-Tubers.

i also saw there is a free friday show but i'm thinking i should just subscribe to her podcast -- i used to (years ago), then i remember she disappeared and left the country for awhile so i lost track of her

and do you post one every day?

every day but sometimes every other day. I did post today's show.

And create a new Air America channel.

Sure do miss it. We lost ours when Clear Channel bought the station and turned it into Fox Sports news. I often wonder how things might have turned out differently if we had blanketed the country with Air America the way they did with right wing radio.

I also enjoy Luke Beasley. Also, Bob Cesca along with his usual co-hosts & guests.

I knew Luke Beaslely ... will bookmark the other.

I don’t think he posts on YouTube on a regular basis (or if all).

Watched her this morn, my post was just some off the top of my head. Good to have them all in this post to refer back to, couldn't remember or post them all at the time. Thanks !

There views are very much anti Dem and far far far left.

DN is a definite no go for me. I don't know what they're even trying to do. Whatever it is it ain't working.

for DNow.

❤️ 🤟

Someone here posted a broadcast of DN

the other day, just before the election. DN said that Kamala:

“ For more on the state of the race with less than a week to go before Election Day, we speak with journalist, author and academic Marc Lamont Hill, who says despite Kamala Harris's flaws, ”
https://www.democraticunderground.com/132133833#post4

‘Despite her flaws’

Pretty negative reporting from DN a few days before the election.

the same reasons you gave.

Frankly I have no idea why they are even allowed here, but they are. Ugh! 😩

😀

really appreciated

will check it out.

I'm too tired to suffer through another four years of that shit. I'm not subjecting myself to that again.

Good luck with prying away the Fox News crowd (that you always seem to be chasing anyway) away from Fox News.

Never Looked Back.

So much stuff they didn't cover, day in and day out. over it too.

I have not turned on mainstream news since last night and won’t. I’m sticking with public-funded media and Democracy supporting endeavors.

Familiar with Democracy Docket ... will check the other two out. Appreciated.

What liberal media? Where?

Also, I subscribe to Mother Jones.

Do we really need a pundit to tell us trump is deranged, a threat to society, etc., when they show him doing/saying deranged things. Don’t think so.

(I dont have any alternative news sites for you. I'm sick of them all at the moment.)

Seriously.

Amazing how relevant it is today, and given the current Orellian gaslighting and AI ascendancy, probably even more relevant today.

Good idea sometimes to just trust the music. Musicians have a different agenda.

All I watch is sometimes the afternoon-night crew on MSNBC.

The mainstream media did a lot of damage since Biden was elected:

- made the Afghanistan withdrawal into a disaster instead of informing about the circumstances there caused by Trump. This made Biden drop in favorability polls and he never recovered

- didn’t talk enough about the real causes of inflation: the pandemic and price gouging. We did better than the rest of the world but they didn’t say that. Also didn’t talk much about improving inflation numbers

- did little to dispel the myth about a bad economy. Job numbers and unemployment rate were good

- were like jackels harping on Biden being in mental decline. Did not do the same with Trump. Normalized. Trump’s asinine behavior and his felony convictions

- were too both siderish comparing Trump and Harris. Saw that a lot with the NYT and WaPo.


Ultimately they cared most about their profits.

Talking Heads, or so called 'stars' of their broadcasts didn't stand up to their 'owners' with dignity. Truth be damned. Really sucked. I got fed up with them not covering all the dibshits antics over and over and over again. Thank you for your informed response.

likes to watch the local news, so do I, keeps us informed about local issues and David Muir. My wife likes GMA at 7 so that one won't go away. I was a Nicole watcher but I think I'm with the rest of you about other shows and just watch other things, read my books or listen to music. I found two channels I like that deal with history and mystery's at the museum, they have some really interesting shows.

I watch some Film Noir stuff on a local chanel. Movies from the 30's and 40's mostly in my spare time. Love the B&W and just the thought that these actors were so long ago .... 60,70,80 years ago probably none of them living now makes me feel young. Ha.

but I watch some great old movies on the free site. I watch a bunch of old ww1 and 2 movies on there. Mostly navy movies since I retired from
the service.

And, The Guardian, which is independent.

😀

The difference between the NY Times, WashPost, LA Times and others like them is that they really report and vet their stories. (I worked in a major metropolitan newsroom for over 35 years, FYI.) The list you mentioned, while OK to listen to and watch for partisan information, are opinion, just like Fox.

I've said it a couple of times on here today. The legitimate media is not the reason we lost the election. It's easy to scapegoat them, but they work very hard on their stuff and they vet it. BUT ... and here's a big BUT ... their opinion pieces (aka op-ed) are not the same as news stories. People need to look closely at what they're reading to make sure it's a news story and not an opinion. (By the way, blogs are opinion.)

If you really want to abandon the MSM, you're the one who will suffer. You will be less informed. If you abandon the MSM, you only give Fox more room. And that's the last thing we need. Fox (and their RW media cronies) are a huge reason why we lost. Fight Fox, not the NY Times/WashPost.

And although a good point re: opinion pieces, I don't believe they have much effect overall. Many who post on this site spend a lot, and IMO sometimes an inordinate amount, of time on all matters political. A comparison could be made to sports. 40+ years ago I could name every player on the Denver Broncos, attended a lot of their home games, and could name all of the starting quarterbacks/wide receivers and others on the other teams. Today? None. I couldn't care less, no interest at all in the sport.

What we fail to realize is that there are millions out there with the same attitude regarding politics, they really don't care. Their pastor told them to vote for X, their neighbor said Y, and with everything going on with all of the social media sites it comes down to not much thought regarding who gets their vote or why. Too many immigrants crossing the border? The price of gas, food and rent too high? I was better off four years ago than right now? Israel/Palestine? Well then, I'm voting for X.

I'm really not sure how much of a news junkie I'm going to be going forward. I'm not going back to football, but I'm considering a new outlet for my spare time.

They normalized the Nazi garbage clown, now here we are....

The double standard was so obvious. If Biden or Harris said a tenth of the controversial things that Trump did it would have derailed their runs.
Sadly, the networks and social media make their money by number of views. Trump knew this. Every time he said something outageaous it only assured him more coverage and a billion dollars worth of free advertising.

They betrayed us by not telling the truth and now the orange Frankenstein monster will destroy us and them!

I realize I can’r completely give us my family on DU though. So will still lurk.

Gonna try to return to reading novels again like I did before the internet!

Our country is so messed up and F’ed.

there are some reporters who rankle listeners--I won't name names, but I have been listening to NPR/PBS since the 1970s and, while it hasn't always been good, it has almost always given unbiased information and reliable sources.

I've heard frequent discussions of authoritarianism and how it rises, the many things Trump says without evidence (which they sometimes even call a lie). Great guests and in-depth discussions on many topics.

NPR listeners hear a multifaceted approach to issues rather than simplistic and one-sided. Plus so many of their stories are fascinating and often I just have to listen to the whole thing, even if I have to drive an extra two miles and back to have enough time.

My husband and I have had many great conversations about something we've learned by listening.

No media is perfect, of course. But
1) a few hawkish voices that used to be on during the W. era (Cokie Roberts, etc.) have either died or retired, and
2) those who diss NPR on a regular basis may just have fallen prey to a disinformation campaign against one of the premier sources of news we have in this country…one the GOP has tried repeatedly to get rid of public funding for. In fact if Project 2025 proponents get their way, they may yet succeed.

Ironically, seems like Drudge Report was only outlet that took Trump to task.

If you want "fair and balanced."

Good luck.

❤️

Yes, a lot of their income comes from contracts……but advertising too. Think advertisers will continue if we tank and I mean really tank their networks?

Bezos and others that own the media…newspapers too, don’t care if they make money, but they won’t accept a constant drain on their billions if they don’t get the results they want. The whole point of buying up media is not to make money. the sole purpose is the dumbing down of America- weak and compliant. Right now their getting the results they want. Please please…stop listening!

We the consumer still have a lot of power if we would just exercise it.

Fox would get their talking points from Rush. Gop pols followed.
GOP bought up alll of the high signal AM radio stations. Nillions of people in rural areas still listen to AM Radio, which earned its alternate name, "hate radio".
Once Fox News was created, messaging became a major issue for the left. There are no democratic mirrors the Tucker Carlsons and the plethora of other right-wing personalities.

It's not just limitied to Fox. CNN hired a right-wing political editor two years ago because their viewership was slagging. I suspect the networks are also competing for right-wing viewership

We need our own network and we need to put money into left leaning You Tube creators. You tube is surpassing the networks and cable for viewrship!. Do we have a Joe Rogan? The pattern continues.

of MSNBC still viable to listen too? Is he on the DONE list???

Kamala's speech today, then played it in full. I had to pause it, then ff through. I had heard it live and hearing it again got me teary again...
I listen to him nightly plus 1 or 2 others.
His grace and intelligence are a welcome respite.

it took you this long to figure it out?

really hit a head this year when everything the guy did was way over the top ignored by them. Actually turned them off completely couple of months ago, gave them way too much benefit of the doubt till then.

Mark Jacob, Stop the Presses.

John A. Stoehr, The Editorial Board.

Judd Legum, Popular Information.

I always stop to read what they have to say.

I concur about ProPublica. I'd add The Texas Tribune if you are in Texas.

See if you can be the YouTube arm of DU. Worth a shot!

This is all very helpful. Thank you!

and welcome to D.U. Peace.
