I admit to being a voracious consumer of news, though.

I read the news: New York Times (I pay for it), both local papers (Detroit Free Press and Detroit News which are generally opposite each other politically). I also read major-city newspapers around the country to the extent that I can access their content for free, and foreign sources such as the BBC, Reuters, and Al-Jazeera when it comes to international news.

I also listen to Podcasts. My favorite is Bill Moyers, who I just adore.

As far as talk radio, my new favorite is Joe Madison The Black Eagle on Sirius XM, who has been around a good while but I discovered (at long last!) during the Democratic convention. He gets me fired up and also offers an African American perspective on the issues that many people never get to hear.
