188. Yes, I Watch Him On RT, Along Thom Hartman And If

Feb 2016

I if I don't watch them in real time, I can always live stream or watch previous shows through my ROKU. I recently found so many live streaming channels offered by ROKU that I never knew existed. So glad I bought it.

I sometimes wonder how long it will be before I'm going to have to pay for the FREE channels I use now. I know ROKU does charge for some of them, but so far I'm happy with all my FREE viewing options.

I no longer rely on any MSM for news, it actually DEPRESSES me and ruins my day. RT has some really great economic news shows and I LOVE Lee Camp! He's the John Oliver of RT, that's how they define his show. A lot like Jon Stewart w/o advertisement per se.

Personally I think we all would be better off switching to these channels for NEWS and so much more. Al Jazeera has been cancelled, just don't know when the last show will be, OAM (One America) is OK, but not crazy about it.

Thanks for bringing this up.
