12. I terminated cable TV over Fox News in 2014
Sun Sep 11, 2022, 12:59 PM
Sep 2022

I turned to the top news sites on the web. BBC, CBC as some examples.

For following the Ukraine, for example, I developed a whole set of news links plus twitter links specific to that ongoing story. I think it is better information than anything from any US network.

I've removed CNN.com and Politico.com due to their recent right wing actions. I blocked them on twitter after tweeting some of their personalities my concerns and what I was doing about it. I've watched CNN since its beginnings.

Sometimes, I pick up local tv and get some news on a particular story that way.

I do look at the headlines on some right wing sites to get a sense of what they're they're saying at a particular moment in time.

DU.com is a major source of what is going on for me.

The shift in what is going on in the media has been a great concern for me for many years.
The next 58 days could be very important for our future. Get out there and flip some voters.
