Every "new" news story tonight on MSNBC

I have already read about on DU. This is the place to go to for legitimate reporting in a timely manner. I thank everyone at DU for keeping me "up to date" since I discovered DU in 2016, and for continuing to do so!!!!!!!! I tell everyone I know to come here for info...however none of them do so. However, since they know that I refer them to DU they know my reports are legit.

Since the DU posting rules require back up from legit sources I have learned how to back up the info with other sources than posted here or plan to post here. If I can't provide non- biased sources then I know not to post them and/or to change the post to correct them. You guys keep me on my toes! If I do not provide legit sources I am called out for it and rightly so! I appreciate this!!!

It’s a fine neighborhood to hang out and get the scoop.

Philadelphia native here, living in KS in my wife’s hometown. I’m a little older then you, lived a few blocks from Connie Mack Stadium in the 60s. Good weekend for Phillies and Eagles fans.

You get not just the headlines and breaking news but some really intelligent analysis. We've got perspectives here from all over the place: academically, geographically, culturally, professionally, with umpteen different degree kinds and levels, life-experience, specializations, and a whole lot more.

And the analysis here isn't restricted to 30-second soundbites, or reluctance to piss off the other side (who we have to tiptoe around and be so carefully and delicately considerate). They have yet to return the favor in their behavior, statements. and reactions.

This is DU. The "D" is for the party. Good source for links and comments but many sources are blocked or discouraged.

I’ve watched a lot of MSNBC over the past decade, but am turning to the PBS News Hour more often to get a wider variety of topics, including international news.

Since CNN has decided to be more of a "both sides for ratings" source I rarely watch them now and prefer PBS.

ago after a long time and had to bail when they were blaming Biden for keeping Ukraine from negotiating with Russia to prevent/stop the war, how they had to negotiate now, etc … basically lots of Putin talking points.

Mostly positive stories, which I can really appreciate. The news has been too frikkin' dark lately.

It looks like Independent Evan McMullin has a decent shot to unseat Mike Lee. It would not be a Dem seat, but would be a big improvement over Lee.

DUers are incredible news hounds, and their sources are top-rate. I always know national news hours ahead of everyone else, and have a more expansive understanding of the issues. This place really does rock.

I seldom miss his show. He so often brings positive solutions to seemingly unnsolvable problems. Excellent and hopeful motivator!

That is why DU has members who have been here since the days of W. I have never read anything here that I could not verify elsewhere if needed.

It's the first place I go to in the morning to see what's happened in the news and the last place before I go to bed. I am FAR better informed than most of my family and friends, thanks to DU.

the crap that's bound to wander onto DU, from the other now defunct RW sites, and try to push their ignorant crap and stir up crap onto us here on DU.

My salute to the moderators on DU!

Of course I use DU, and a few other sources. I feel informed.
