when I got divorced and moved into my own place.

The only news I hear on the radio is NPR, and only when my alarm goes off in the morning. I've always known to take the MSM with a grain of salt.

For 15 years my news has come from various print sources and sources, and ALL with a grain, or more, of salt.

Every source can be corrupt and/or biased; I don't need to spend the time watching and listening to people trying to tell me what to think, though. I can scan headlines, choose those I want to know about, and read, and analyze for bias, in a small fraction of the time others spend listening to the MSM beat them over the head with bullshit over and over and over.
