I get that, but national news is much more cringeworthy than local news here. I'm in Portland, one of the whitest cities in the country, but it's also a blue sanctuary city. Frankly, a couple local stations here could teach networks a thing or two about factual, unbiased reporting.

That is very heartening to hear. It is serious work to find reliably factual news/journalism these days!

I no longer watch local news, I get national news from the meidas touch network, occupy democrats and the rest of the left leaning independent media too.

I would also recommend The Guardian and Reuters - getting a perspective from outside the US taps into separate sources that are not predisposed to spin the reporting to a favorable light for the administration.

That's good. I've been meaning to ask you...and don't think me weird. I used to co-host a show with the late J.C. Johnson called crypto 4corners. It was about cryptids and paranormal topics. Anyway, have you ever seen anything weird while on the road?

Interesting tip. Thanks! I notice when I see protests internationally but hadn't considered international media as a source of information for what's happening here. 👍

Some local outlets here are more dedicated to truth than others, and noticeable turnover gives me hope that at least some journalists are in it for the good fight. Love seeing resources like @meidastouch.com and @democracydocket.com emerge as trustworthy media leaders and homes for truth-tellers.

Indeed. I'm taking about local city news channels. I live in Houston Texas and I see almost all crimes they report on are of African Americans and Hispanics. I'm sure it's like this throughout the country. I blame these networks for the rampant racism and stereotyping of minorities as criminals.
