1. NewsHour seems to have done serious and important work.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. They're known for that so I try to check in with their news of the day

[elleng]

3. GOOD! I watch them every day, but recently paying more attention to msnbc;

will return to PBS, and pay more attention (and HOPE they'll withstand whatever tmp/msk hit them with.) Have already increased monthly contribution.

5. Good. I don't often watch C-Span, but did see Sen. Whitehouse being very serious.

6. He really is terrific, he won't give up on climate change and SCOTUS corruption

And he often uploads the Senate talks he gives.
