What I do disagree with are the people who say they boycott CNN or the DC and NY newspapers because they are anti-Biden or right wing. They are all fact-based media with a center to center-left orientation.
I have even seen people say they are upset about MSNBC coverage. Progressives and Democrats don’t need a leftist version of FOX News, and I am not concerned about encountering viewpoints with which I may disagree.
