no longer get CNN, MSNBC, or fox.

No offense, but the distortions, misrepresentations, and outright lies that the television MSM have been spewing this past year, why do some still want to patronize their service when it is known they are not an honest broker?

When Comey released the letter to the republicans in congress, the first network to report on it was MSNBC, with the "breaking new headline that the email investigation had been re-opened". That was a LIE. Then MSNBC started to parade across its screen every right wing politician to re-enforce that LIE. Soon the other networks jumped in with the same LIE.

The so-called television MSM have demonstrated for years they are not an honest messenger.

I get my news from the NYTimes, Washington Post, BBC, and PBS.

For me I don't need a rendition of entertainment tonight "news":

1. I don't find it entertaining.
2. If you cannot trust what they are saying, it doesn't inform, so it serves no purpose for me
