Of course, MS-NOW is also excellent.

Starting watching Youtube seriously, beginning in late 2025.

1. None that I notice

I look at headlines in search of something factual.

3. I dunno, that might be the worst place to find the truth.

6. Anything with an algorithm.

8. Maybe, but it's the best way to establish credibility on a story

Generally, I don't care what reporters or columnists think. I don't bother with gossip. I care about reality when it comes to media.

When I want opinion...well, I can get plenty of it here.

9. Most every news source leads with an headline to get your eyeballs to read.

Including legit sources. Lots of times. the hyperbole of the headline does not match the story's actual details. IMHO.

10. Quite true. But many can be dismissed immediately...

...on the basis of the underlying content. Stories that are based on anonymous sources, "so-and-so says", "might", "could" and other weasel words can very frequently be ignored.

2. AP News mostly

Just the facts, mostly.

4. Mostly listen to MS NOW or NPR as I'm working around the house or am in the

car. Later, after I'm relaxing, I come onto DU and also read Reuters and AP.

5. No YouTube news at all. These substack writers are some of my favorites:

Heather Cox Richardson
Joyce Vance
The Contrarian
G. Elliott Morris
Anne Applebaum
Allison Gill (Mueller She Wrote)


Can't stand talking-head YouTube news. I get good information, given calmly, by reading good sources via newsletter

More web sources:

Rachel Maddow
The Guardian
ProPublica
AP

7. That's cool.

Haven't spent anytime on substack, probably because I spend too much time on Youtube watching, Mediastouch, Sovereign Citizen arrests, Celts/Red Sox recaps, Ukrainian war updates, and the Grateful Dead - for needed musical mental resets.
