35. The main stream news have sponsors who limit what can be said

Many podcasts have bigger audiences than cable does - and are funded by listeners so no control of what is said. I like Breaking Points for my morning news because it covers both sides and I can listen while doing stuff.

They are not telling us stuff because they are afraid they will lose their sponsors - the rich men of the world. Also, instead of a 5 minute clip on cable news, podcasts go in depth and might give us an hour of news on that topic with educated guests on topics. You get much more in depth news.
