    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.
