Democrats: Which News Shows/Media Personalities do you listen to? (1 Viewer)

[Parker_Chess]

I'm always looking for new liberal/progressive shows for a fresh outlook with how quickly everything is happening.

Some of my favorites (no particular order)
1) Secular Talk
2) Sam Harris
3) Destiny
4) Hutch
5) NYT - my favorite mainstream news

Not a Democrat, but as far as show recommendations go:

1) Robert Evans' Behind the Bastards and It Could Happen Here

2) Majority Report with Sam Seder and Emma Vigeland

3) Kyle Kulinski - don't agree with him on everything but he's a reliable narrator of just the sheer stupidity of everything going on.

A lot of the other liberal shows - Meidas, Pakman, Brian Tyler Cohen, are informative but with too much Dem cheerleading.

Hasan Piker for just sheer entertainment.

TYT - main personalities in Cenk and Ana Kasparian doing a reactionary right wing heel turn is just pathetic and embarrassing.

Never heard of Robert Evans! I'll have to check him out. And I agree with your last point those 3 are sometimes over the top with their Dem cheerleading.

Start with it could happen here. Covers a lot of topics from essentially a high level, anti fascist perspective.

Yeesh, one thread about rightwing sources, another about leftwing sources. People DO know there are more balanced sources. Not completely balanced, none are, but the likes of AP, Reuters, NPR, BBC, The Guardian, Newsweek, and several others.
As for "listening" I enjoy POTUS radio on SiriusXM, NewsNation, and Bloomberg radio.
Mind you, I am far more sagacious than those who fall all over themselves believing Fox or MSNBC to get their confirmation biases confirmed. Just sayin

 

[Loulit01]

None. I read the news.

 

[GIJane]

The fact you added Jon Stewart and left off Bill Maher shows your bias. Frankly I watch NONE of those hacks.

 

[quip]

Do comedians count? Bill Burr and John Oliver.

 

[Hamish Howl]

Other: I don't listen to media personalities. I read AP and Reuters daily.

When did you become a democrat?

I wanted to include both but there is limited number of options.

AP and Reuters are my favorite when it comes to journalism.

 

[CaughtInThe]

Fox News and Joe Rogan.

I hate they do that. There's a virt world I inhabit that has a 30 character limit on names but only 20 on tags (group identifier). So unfair. So many great tags I can't use.

Back on point. The primary reason of putting Maher rather than Stewart, Stewart tends to follow the party line closer. Bill can be an outlier now and then.

 

[Gatsby]

None of the above. If I want a Dem hot take, I usually read it. Some of the people I enjoy reading are Ezra Klein, Matt Yglesias, and Noah Smith.

I like Bill Maher. Especially back during the George W. Days he was a breath of fresh air. I agree with much of his takes on political correctness and wokeness.

His support of Amy Klobachur in the 2020 was a bit strange. I definitely think we would have lost had Amy won the nomination.

 

[Absentglare]

None.

I like Jon Stewart and John Oliver but I’m not a regular viewer.

 

[JMR]

I mostly read the news, NYT daily and my phone feed. On TV I occasionally listen to Anderson Cooper or Kaitlyn Collins on CNN. Once in a while either Chris Hayes of Rachel Maddow on MSNBC.

 

[Real blank]

I have a bit more faith in people. People aren’t just clones of the media figures they consume.
