Some legacy media that seems to still be on our side: Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, The Atlantic
Though, I must say they've gotten much better since he stopped writing for them regularly.
Seems the white straight guys won't mention and will avoid at all costs, the fraud and bs election that allowed an illegitimate agent of russia in.
It's disgusting
Lmfao
You sound like the republicans did four years ago, crazy af
Nevermind MAGAts were repeating that twat....
Who the fuck am I repeating??
And did ya miss all the admissions, evidence, and interference that's available that proves he cheated?? Guess so
JFC 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Trust the institutions and stop being a reactionary nutbag
It's unhealthy for you and society. Please stop
And limp refusal to acknowledge a KNOWN cheater cheated #weak
Just gargling bullshit while your privilege tries to cash a check your integrity can't cash

- commentators. They are not investigating themselves. They are not producing the information. They comment on information produced by others. This is the case of the vast majority of YT channels mentioned here.
I would therefore like to support here an excellent independant journalist: Caolan Robertson on YT.

If you want confirmation bias just keep on, but that can lead to being misinformed. Look where Joy Reid was rated on Ad Fontes. Some would like to make her show’s cancellation about Race and anti-DEI, but was it? She misinformed MANY.
You wrongfully just claimed that a doctor of medicine that shares FDA recalls is an “opinionist”.
All of the people I have cited share copious footnotes & proof to their reporting.

He usually does a smart, entertaining analysis of major issues and often has Marc Elias on.
"Trump gets DESTROYED/SMACKED DOWN/OWNED by blah blah blah..."
You don't need to artificially sensationalize already bananas headlines. It comes off as manipulative, cringy and generally ick.
In the last 6-9 months, Ben Meisales has been having periods of hyperbolic ranting.
He used to be fairly level-headed & focused on legal issues. He claims he still is, but can get carried away.
And yes, the clickbait headlines for both MTD & BTC are getting annoying.

Kyle is actually really good and is critical of the democrats when he needs to be, unlike these partisan hacks
And see if they're tied to any donors like the bulwark is, Or straight to the dnc expenditures like midas touch n Brian Tyler Cohen are
I would say that I have moved further to the left as democrats have moved further to the right
It's the only thing I think will balance things out in the long run
Kyle is one of my favorites. I try to like Hasan, but I have a few issues with him.
I'm more of like your old school like working class leftist
Most eemocrats will probably assume and a lot of them do assume i'm trump support based like on perception, like off my aesthetics I guess
@wired.com
I'll stick with AP news. It's boring AF, but at least I know they won't lie to me to decieve me or rile me up.
Remember, you are what you eat.
But the other side isn't real so that doesn't work.
Hence, where we are today.
I like journalists that dig into things no matter whom they may expose, their boss, politicians and so on
