I just got basic cable

And there is a news station I never heard of called newsy.

Is it oriented left or right or is it playing centrist.

Anyone ever watch it?

According to Media Bias Fact Check, it's slight-to-moderate liberal bias catbyte Nov 2020 #1

In a previous life I watched it. As I recall it's pretty straight headline reporting flamin lib Nov 2020 #2

Amazing world news coverage with very little detectable bias. The only bias I have seen from them is against Saudi Arabia, which I agree with 100 pct.

They don't form opinions, they just let me know what's happening. Of course when I want an opinion I switch to Stephanie Miller.
