I just stick to my usual channels. There are a lot of channels for disaffected Democrats but the ones I watch mostly support the Democrats but just want them to do better

I have seen channels like you describe before like Richard Medhurst might be an example of what you mean but I don't subscribe to them.

As far as propaganda the Western MSM is very biased and sometimes foreign news sources can be more accurate or give you a complete picture. For example there's been a lot of misinformation about the Syrian civil war and mostly from Russian sources but not too long ago CNN contributed to that by faking rescuing a detainee from Assad's prisons and a lot of foreign news sources jumped all over them for that.

I think it is important to have a strong media literacy to be able to sort through the BS coming from all directions.
