Media Political Outlets....what are you paying attention to?

Here's my list, ordered by total viewing frequency.

MTN - MeidasTouch
MTN - Michael Popak / Legal AF
MTN - Katie Phang
IIHIP
Jack Corcharelli (sp)
The Bulwark
Occupy Democrats

Of course, MS-NOW is also excellent.

Starting watching Youtube seriously, beginning in late 2025.

Generally, I don't care what reporters or columnists think. I don't bother with gossip. I care about reality when it comes to media.

When I want opinion...well, I can get plenty of it here.

Can't stand talking-head YouTube news. I get good information, given calmly, by reading good sources via newsletter

Rachel Maddow
The Guardian
ProPublica

Haven't spent anytime on substack, probably because I spend too much time on Youtube watching, Mediastouch, Sovereign Citizen arrests, Celts/Red Sox recaps, Ukrainian war updates, and the Grateful Dead - for needed musical mental resets.
