I'm trying to ignore as much as I can but some does slip thru.

I'm too old to get upset by paying attention. I'm much more happy working in my yard.

and from those places I go read articles on websites linked.

Usually abcnews.com now since I will no longer patronize cnn.com due to their betrayal of truth and journalism to cater to the MAGAts.

I do not even have cable. Cord cutter. Have never missed it.

PBS

once a week I peruse the German online/print media and a few more British online papers.

Al Jazeera periodically; The Atlantic more often.

DU, of course. AP news alerts

CNN: less and less and less. Just like the venerable "The Nation" who lost me when K Vandenheuvel let her Russia propagandist hubby take over a great deal of the direction. It nearly devastated me to see that happen.

mostly here! A lot of the time, I read it here before the tv news knows about it. Too me, DU is in real time. MSNBC and used to be more CNN until the regime change.

20. My campaign against television news and opinion continues.

I quit television news and opinion in disgust nearly 21 years ago.

Television is not a good medium for news and opinion. It inhibits critical thinking. It is used mostly for propaganda.

I blame television for the war in Iraq, Trump, and many other horrible things.

The television in our house plays entertaining movies and television series without commercials. That's all it does. We don't have cable, satellite, or broadcast television.

My wife and I subscribe to a variety of newspapers and read most of our news.

TV - I grab the ABC World News up until the first commercial break just to see what filtered to the top.

Internet - Guardian, Atlantic, Al Jazeera, BBC
Brian Karem's work at least once a week. And lately have been reading some Jennifer Taub.

I do hit the old Kentucky hometown newspaper website and the Cincy enquirer online.
