I have stopped watching

CNN and MSNBC for about three weeks now. I continue reviewing stories here on DU, and other sites I have come to trust (mostly sites that cite reputable periodical articles). I have regained about 3 hours of my time per day, and about half of my sanity -- a work in progress.

source for news. It's filtered, curated, reviewed, fact checked, includes background and history, and random alternate opinions. It presages the mainstream news media, sometimes by months or weeks. I still watch some mainstream news, but I don't trust it like DU.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
