I have been begging political candidates not to ignore Fox News and the like since 2004!!. They all responded with “slippery slope for Free Speech”. BS! Radio already has a law in place that intentional lies resulting in harm = loss of license. This is what we mean when we say No more Centrists who are more interested in avoiding conflict than doing what they should do!
Good grief. I don't have cable anymore and if I still had it, I'd cancel. My news sources are local channels, PBS (while it's still here), Substack, and France 24.
The good thing about the Ellison takeover is it is known to all. I checked and found that in the days of Walter Cronkite, CBS News had 25-30 million viewers for the Evening News. Now CBS News has about 4 million viewers and dropping with Zionist anchor Tony Dokupil.
We are seeing the insanity of the Supreme Court ruling that corporate money may be freely spent on campaigns. That cannot be allowed in a democracy. We continue to head down the drain.
BTW, I found pro-Iranian animations on Tik-Tok which surprised me as I thought they would be censored there.
Everything in the way of news is available online from independent sources. I recommend Breaking Points which is available in part (all important news coverage) on YouTube and in full with a subscription.
Sometimes it makes sense to go backward. In the 1950's we had things like truth in advertising, an ethic of objectivity in media, and a trust in government long since lost. Trump and his cronies are tearing down the truth in journalism and replacing it with infotainment.
I read everything that I can get my mitts on. I watch most substack videos although some of them are very misleading and misinformed. Also important to keep track of the global situation because it affects all of us. Sometimes I think liberal media is too feel good for our side and the wins are negligible. Try to stay grounded. I know I’m not 🤣Just a thought.
The viewership and support ( and the accessibility round the USA) of PBS News hour and local PBS news sources is growing. Trump did his best to stop sources of funding for PBS but it is stronger and more watched, in more places than ever. Their viewership grows and so does their readership of local and regional news. Their role in presenting news, accurately and thoughtfully makes it one of the most reliable, and publicly supported news sources in the nation, perhaps the world. NO Federal support and NO interference, YES to Public Ownership and NEWS reporting that informs and helps understanding and accurate reporting of news. Support PBS and watch it for the real news.
Most people have a price (and I would say all, but I can live with a few exceptions). People, no matter how noble their initial intentions may be with an invention, will let go at some point, and they will rationalize the decision and explain how it wasn’t actually selling out…I don’t know how much blame to put at the feet of those who give up the endless fight against the billionaires. I personally haven’t sacrificed anywhere near as much as Qasim, and I am in no place to judge those who work their entire lives for a chance to be a journalist, and then find themselves either working for a billionaire or being forced to figure out how to make ends meet. I just hope that people are held accountable for what they say and what they do.
Thank you for this great journalism,Qasim. There's more to this that is even scarier. Nancy Guthrie's disappearance is meant to play to a wide audience. As a news host, a journalist, heads-up: you wouldn't want a loved-one of YOURS to disappear, now, would you? This was a message to the journalism community NOT a kidnapping for money--she could just as easily have tripped and fallen out a window.
Every decent, freedom-loving journalist should refuse to work for these networks. We should never subscribe to them. Journalists who are being intentionally accepting, non-judgmental of Trump: you are giving the people false information. This country's downfall is ON YOU TOO!
You and Drey Dossier have kept me informed on this issue .thank you.

I'm sorry but BBC News is anything but center. It's now well on the right.

I stopped using cable long before this mess, except MeTV.
Nowadays I use the internet.

What is someone on a fixed income supposed to do when they can't afford other media outlets? Because that's me
Groundnews is a good news app, even the free version.

If the subscription is asking for actual $$ I can't do it
You can “subscribe” for free by your “contribution” of “0.00” to Breaking Points. That’s how I watch it.
Went to their You Tube and hit subscribe. Now I just have to remember to watch them 🤷♀️🤦♀️

They're turning everything back into an era that no longer exists
Thanks Qasim, I just subscribed!

All the more reason to support independent journalists with paid subscriptions.

I do not trust any American news source completely. The majority can be read and make your own assessment when we can no longer do that we are doomed!
I refuse to fill out another form for Substack! This is getting carried away! I filled it out with another form which was not accepted.
How do you view the news then?
BBC, El Jazerra, der Speigel
Got it.

Just read this! It's very comprehensive!

MSM is nothing more than advertising platforms for schlock products and propaganda.
