I haven’t watched any news since Nov 5th, so I feel very out of touch.

If you’ve boycotted MSM, where are you getting your news from?

Comments

starlighttwinkle.bsky.social•91 days ago

I have turned off MSM and have discovered I am getting in touch with myself…. Realizing it’s just a money game for them, ok to spew lies and nonsense to grab attention!

I am reaching out locally to neighbors and friends to learn about what really matters - my circle of influence - locally

lasunshine.bsky.social•91 days ago

Wait until it’s gone. Then you’ll be ecstatic. Lumping us all in with the “lugenpresse” slur is exactly what red MAGA does. You might as well just buy the baseball cap.

We watch our local news and I grab from sources on Bluesky that I trust.

Other than that, to watch all the mainstream sources continue to covet for Trump doesn’t work for me.

If the day comes where they bash trump 24x7 like they did Biden, maybe I’d go back.

rockyreader.bsky.social•91 days ago

Very much the same for me. Used to have MSNBC or CNN on throughout the day, but not since Nov. 5th. Since then, I still skim NYT and (gasp) WP for headlines and the occasional article. I just cannot stand to hear another pundit. My sanity is at stake. 🤷‍♂️

shannonamity.bsky.social•91 days ago

I kindly suggest not boycotting MSNBC. We need them right now.

desertdem.bsky.social•91 days ago

For what exactly? With a few exceptions they are as guilty as the rest of them. There are other outlets without feeding their ratings.

briskibear.bsky.social•91 days ago

I'm not sure I need them to tell us things aren't as bad as they appear, that everything will be alright. The billionaires who own the major news outlets are aligning their staff to support his BS. MSNBC, CNN, WAPO, NY times, LA Times, etc. It was never about truth for them. Just money.

shannonamity.bsky.social•91 days ago

Guilty of what exactly? MSNBC is more than just Mika and Joe. I appreciate the reporting and expert guest commentary they provide. And to be fair, Rachel Maddow has been waving 🚩 🚩 on Russia for years now.

desertdem.bsky.social•91 days ago

I said with a few exceptions. I'm certainly not basing that opinion on Joe and Mika. If people would've opened their ears years ago they could see they were just as complicit in the grand scheme of things.

nashishereforit.bsky.social•91 days ago

They are who I watched and who I avoid now. The journalists that care about their integrity will leave and be successful elsewhere. The rest will gravitate to the right like the parasites they are. Rachel, Lawrence, and Katie will all make it elsewhere.

dibur316.bsky.social•91 days ago

I watch Lawrence on YouTube sometimes. Glenn kurshner sometimes also. Substacks dan rather and so many more. Also Sirius xm has zerlina maxwell and others.

I love the Thom Hartman show on the progress channel on SiriusXM. He is so smart and spot on.

The Atlantic, The New Yorker, Mother Jones, Rolling Stone politics, Thom Hartmann, Zerlina Maxwell, Stephanie Miller and the rest of the progressive lineup on Siriusxm, and lots of podcasts like Allison Gill’s Daily Beans, Malcolm Nance, Angry staffer’s youtube and patreon channel.

sundawg1.bsky.social•91 days ago

A good list. I'm also a fan of The Atlantic, New Yorker, and others listed. There are still some good writers on Twitter and now Bluesky.

Most of the good writers are thankfully migrating here.

patfromthestix.bsky.social•91 days ago

Also, Timothy Snyder, Heather Cox Richardson, Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Joyce Vance, Barb McQuade, Jill Wine-Banks. Basically I would give my last dollar on earth on intelligent thought. These are some of the people who help keep me sane and hopeful that we can fight our way back to law and justice.

860jen.bsky.social•83 days ago

Substack has many great options. I recommend subscribing to Aaron Rupar's Public Notice, Heather Cox Richardson's Letters from an American, Joyce Vance's Civil Discourse, and Ruth Ben-Ghiat's Lucid for starters. Those are my must reads.

kday1020.bsky.social•91 days ago

Exactly! The MSM is also extremely slow compared to independent sources who get their news out quicker. They are behind and are complicit in getting Trump elected and I’m not supporting it. I’ve been slowly getting all my friends and family off MSM. We don’t need these annoying talking heads 😂

desertdem.bsky.social•91 days ago

I'm 73 so of course I remember when the nightly news was exactly that…the nightly news. Not a round table of talking heads spewing their opinions. I miss those days.

gaeacailleach.bsky.social•90 days ago

I'm about a decade younger and miss those days too. Where news was reported, not argued over, and no one interrupted the anchor with their opinion.

You know, this election made me realize that I still love my country, but not the American people. Not at all.

bryansasek.bsky.social•91 days ago

My feeling toward my country are, I love it but I don't like it. Like being in a marrage where you still deep down love someone, but you're tired of them and can honestly say that if they had it to do all over again, they wouldn't have dated them in the first place.

lacentrist.bsky.social•91 days ago

lacentrist.bsky.social•91 days ago

Mine too. I had a really hard time reaching out to them on Thanksgiving. I’m going to see all of them in January and it should be interesting. I’m really disappointed in some of their social media posts. They spread disinformation and it really bugs me.

ProPublica, NPR and PBS. Still skeptical about NPR and PBS as they have been guilty in the past of self-censoring news and info that presented Koch industries in a negative light.

soverycurious.bsky.social•91 days ago

Yes. I have noticed some changes over the past year. It bothered me that they aired Rumps comments so often, like it seemed they presented what he said twice as often as what Harris said, even though they would talk about his talking points being lies

Trusted podcasts for the most part. 99% of MSM coverage makes me physically ill at this point.

cptnshred.bsky.social•91 days ago

I stopped about 20 years ago. What you're feeling is normal. It will pass. Then you'll be amazed by the BS if you happen to flip to it.

Curate your feed here. Find those who tell the truth and have access. They're here.

phoenician.bsky.social•91 days ago

I’m a paid subscriber to the Philadelphia Inquirer, because I valued their integrity during the election. I follow several reporters on here individually, many of whom are independent. I also follow MeidasTouch, the Boston Globe, NPR, and the Guardian.

lasunshine.bsky.social•91 days ago

Meidas - please read up on them. Not good.

phoenician.bsky.social•91 days ago

What don’t you like about them?

lasunshine.bsky.social•91 days ago

They’re not a media company, they’re a PAC. Plenty to read on them out there but here’s just one piece.

phoenician.bsky.social•91 days ago

Thank you! I’ll read it.

hicarolbutler.bsky.social•90 days ago

Ok, this is news to me and seems really important. I wasn’t concerned until I read about the threats to the Rolling Stone reporter. At that point the fact they were a PAC took on new import. MeidasTouch produces good videos and entertaining news analysis, but they are not NEWS. Good to know.

lasunshine.bsky.social•90 days ago

🫡 I’m here to serve!

Exactly…just like 2016…turned that 💩off the same date and won’t watch for 4 more years…I’ll get my news by what I read or the social smart peeps…and yes…I’M HERE FOR IT 🤣🤘

briansager79.bsky.social•91 days ago

NPR, PBS mainly

judyr4792.bsky.social•91 days ago

MeidasTouch news is good. The Guardian, New Republic. I also read several news letters, like Aaron Parnas at Public Notice. Scott Dworkin, and some others.

kelpmaiden.bsky.social•91 days ago

I watch the #davidpakman show on YouTube.

devilsadvocatec.bsky.social•91 days ago

I always get my news from @majorityreport.bsky.social but I haven’t watched since the election either. They’re very good at explaining what’s happening and what you can do to fight. I just needed a break from the news in general as well.

heidilama.bsky.social•91 days ago

Still NPR a couple times a week. I mine the Xitter for headlines. Making an effort to pay more attention to local news, so finding local (city/state) social media accounts to follow and looking at neighborhood newspapers to support.

adlj05.bsky.social•90 days ago

From here.

lizzie-in-ca.bsky.social•90 days ago

I’ve been curating a new set of news sources. We subscribed to Philly inquirer when we dropped NYTs and WP months ago. Now deciding on independent journalists to subscribe to. Bluesky has been an important resource in helping me curate all this. Following a lot of sources I’m interested in.

duchessofhasrings.bsky.social•91 days ago

I record world news tonight with David Muir. I fast forward through any orange menace stuff. It makes me feel more connected to the world.

anondananda.bsky.social•90 days ago

I haven't boycotted MSM, but I have always treated it as infotainment, not news. I get news from a variety of sources often via links from here or FB. My friend swears by 1440, though I haven't checked it out yet ... I personally like https://whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com/

whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com•90 days ago

👋 thanks for the share

aerten.bsky.social•90 days ago

This has been my favorite news source since 2016.

ahpook33.bsky.social•91 days ago

PBS Newshour. But I still FF through any segment where Trump is mentioned.

acinemastare.bsky.social•91 days ago

@meidastouch.bsky.social @briantylercohen.bsky.social @emmavigeland.bsky.social are three awesome sources and alternatives for MSM

I have a few podcasts I listen to. That’s enough news for now. The horrors haven’t quite begun yet.

theyodelingdad.bsky.social•91 days ago

I've been trying to look for more neutral/unbiased sources here: https://adfontesmedia.com/interactive-media-bias-chart/. Aside from occasional clips from on YouTube, etc…, I don't really watch MSM these days. This goes back to pre-election, mostly due to limitations of our streaming services.

andybrown5.bsky.social•91 days ago

BBC and Channel 4 news usually !

waterblusky.bsky.social•90 days ago

arlenevotesblue.bsky.social•91 days ago

Finally watched PBS Newshour last night (after no news since election)to see Jonathan Capehart and David Brooks. Brooks disgustingly kissed the ring. PBS still does the best job on global issues and the arts. Have not watched any others- not even local.

bestbeth.bsky.social•90 days ago

E-Newsletters from Heather Cox Richardson, Jay Kuo, Marc Elias, 1440, and Robert Hubbel. Plus, subscribed to AP News alerts.

fishladyabs.bsky.social•91 days ago

anemiab.bsky.social•90 days ago

European news channels, Reuters, AP (sometimes). I also try to follow independent journalists on here. I found a starter pack of them.

sandhill.bsky.social•91 days ago

The Guardian, PBS NewsHour, BBC World News. NPR.

healthcareis1.bsky.social•90 days ago

PBS just reported people are being cautious about holiday spending?

teenteen.bsky.social•91 days ago

Honestly, I haven’t watched any MSM news since the election, either. I pick up a bit here on BlueSky 🦋
Focused on boycott lists…controlling the things I can.

savvysuzy.bsky.social•91 days ago

Only reading it now. Propublica, Meidas Touch, AP are a few. I'm going to take a long break from cable.

I recommend The Guardian & https://ground.news

thewatsondavies.bsky.social•91 days ago

Podcasts

roxierose2.bsky.social•91 days ago

I watch local news in the mornings for the weather and traffic. I turn it off and anything else is from Meidas Touch and Aaron Parnas. I’m not watching MSM news anymore.

aaronrhs.bsky.social•91 days ago

I get most of my news from the US edition of The Guardian, using their app.

felinemom.bsky.social•91 days ago

YouTube pod casters. BBS for international news, and both Ukrainian and Russian podcasters for that war Middle East stuff is harder, but if you search around it's there. You can't just rely on one source, I learned I had to watch a lot of sources to get a full picture.

rachelapg.bsky.social•90 days ago

MeidasTouchb, but not every day. Only check my local news.

pamdess.bsky.social•91 days ago

I don't have cable I do listen to Deadline WH, The Last Word via podcast. I get most of my political news from independent news outlets, Substack and ProPublica.

azcinna.bsky.social•90 days ago

Here, Free Speech TV

mredelstein.bsky.social•90 days ago

Sometimes the news makes it through without cable news or newspapers. Still seeing everything I need to see and it makes me less upset.

lordhypno.bsky.social•91 days ago

I begin my journey with Reuters or AP. I look at the language used. Is it factual or inflammatory and sensational. Are they using gross generalisation? Can I verify across multiple sources? Am I challenging my biases?
