I’ve almost completely eradicated my nightly Rachel watching, which honestly I watched as much for her snark as anything. I haven’t landed on a consistent source for actual news in its place. Does Kal-el have any suggestions? Or you. That’d be fine too.
The Problem is the same that Facebook has, They are businesses and profit is the motive. They all know how to keep you glued to the screen. Sensation, outrage, emotional string pulling. It's all designed to sell comercials.
The best you can do is try to find a newspaper with some true journalist and pay for that newspaper. Because if there is any altruism left it should be supported apart from corporate comercials.
My happiness has improved by 20 to 30% sense I stoped watching all that nonsense.
For an article complaining that no information is really being provided, the article itself didn’t provide much. For all its length you might as will just have written “Cable news sucks. End of story.”
I don’t disagree with the sentiment. But I would like to see bit more substance on why/how it sucks. And, by contrast, if cable news is such a bad source then what would be a good one? You acknowledge it is good to stay informed the world. If you believe cable news is not a good source for that (again, I agree) what do you believe is?
Cut the cord long ago (2007!) Now I can't watch cable news even if I wanted to. I'll admit I'll occasionally skim some clips from the MSNBC main site, or catch a few seconds off a posting, but for the most part I never watch that stuff. Now if I could just kick my Twitter habit.

Right on. I can no longer stomach the MSNBC shows that used to be my must-see favorites. They're devolving into conspiracy theory territory.

Any suggestions for better sources of news?
