I get my information from a variety of sources. Never news "shows" but news "reports." I also watch snippets of Rachel Maddow because she presents her theories and conclusions intelligently - even when I disagree with them (which I do, at times). I don't watch CNN. I don't watch Fox. I don't watch anything "more left" than CNN or "more right" than Fox.

I'm a moderate, looking for facts, not opinions or discussion about facts that haven't been presented.

I watch news as it is happening, on live camera, when I'm interested in the topic being presented. That way I can see for myself and hear with my own ears what's going on, even if I don't happen to be there at the time.

I also like watching Beau of the Fifth Column videos because he helps me expand my understanding of things like the Second Amendment, different viewpoints of Government and the Constitution, American History, and the militia (not the Military). As far as I can tell Beau is an anarchist but he's very calm, very well-read, knows his history, and doesn't push his agenda on you. He just makes you think. And that's a good thing for everyone, no matter which side they're on.

I check the NYT for COVID-19 information because everything else on their internet paper is hidden behind a paywall and I don't subscribe to any news media.

For the same reason - I read whatever limited amounts of articles I'm allowed to read on WaPo, WSJ, Bloomberg. I sometimes will watch ABC, NBC, or CBS news if something interesting is going on.

I also check in daily with Reuters and BBC News. I've also peeked in on Al Jazeera from time to time, for a different perspective of American events.
