      It’s something we all have to be extra careful about these days. If you’re going to watch mainstream information sources. It’s not a bad idea to Pepper in some coverage from more left-leaning podcasters and radio shows.

      There’s always the classic majority report. Which has been a long-lasting mainstay over the years consistently proven right.

      Mike at The humanist report seems solid too.

      Kyle at secular talk speaks with a tone that might be jarring to boomers and many Xers like myself. But he is on point and spits fire to millenials and younger demographics.

      Hell even the hometown duo here while very young are making waves. Dubbed silly and billy by Cenk Uygur. Though they seem a bit more meta.

        Yeah, I do the news every work day and try to stay with the mainstream, but weed out the obvious shitshows. It does lead to tunnel vision on the smaller metro areas, which is what happened here. I didn’t have a source for Maine, which is probably part of the problem. I have one for other major cities, but not sure if there is a Maine comparable.

          I don’t have one for specific cities. It’s certainly not a bad idea. But a heck of a lot of work. But of that bunch I can’t tell you how many times they have brought up coverage from those places when relevant. Enough that I generally feel comfortable trusting them more than the major news outlets.

            Thanks for all of the links. I did try Majority Report once and wasn’t feeling it. I need a print article to skim too.

              100% valid criticism. Lots of times it’s hard to sit and watch/listen. Especially at work. I wish I was a bit more aware of similar print sources.
