Alternative is the new Real
from Weekly Earful Hosted by Lesley Lotto
Are you interested in veering away from so-called Mainstream Media? In 2017 a list was released by a non-partisan organization noting every news outlet and which way they leaned politically. I’m old enough to remember when news was not about politics all day long. A few years ago, we started a free national newscast that was entitled “News that Matters”, because we felt like we were being inundated with news from DC. And now we're back there again. I have spoken to friends who are completely tuning out of any news. They don’t want to know what’s going on in Washington. And, I don’t blame them. But not all of us have the luxury of ignoring what's going on. You may recall, I decided in December to start to look at different news sources, commentators and information outlets. It’s also important, in my opinion anyway, to read what the people say. Reddit is a great outlet for that, as there are “subs” (think communities, pages, tabs or channels) for everything you can imagine. Here are some other sources from historians with no lean politically one way or the other to podcasts and substacks that I’ve recently begun to follow myself (in no particular order): MeidasTouch Network Joe Walsh Krassenstein Amy Siskind Rick Wilson Robert Reich Adam Kinzinger Adam Parkhomenko Letters from an American BBC Global News Brian Tyler Cohen Politics Girl Let me know who/what you like!
