get the Roku 1 / refurbished or the stick for a low cost solution.
they had apps on there, including democracy now which streams video live and for the past two weeks of stephanie miller, thom hartmann and I think TyT has their own roku app.
it's all free after you buy the roku and I've seen them at the goodwill on a very regular basis.

cutting the cable is the hardest step, after that it's pretty easy to find local news as well as most of what you like to watch.

im fortunate to live in an area with a TON of digital over-the-air stations, so general entertainment is never a real problem for me anyway.

as far as conspiracy goes... it's not impossible
