I cannot recommend the show and podcast 'Breaking Points', by Saagar Enjeti and Krystal Ball enough. They are top notch journalists who formerly hosted a daily news show called 'Rising' on The Hill, but left recently in order to be more independent and free of advertiser influence (censorship). While they are on opposite sides of the political spectrum. They cut through much of the partisan, mainstream BS - and get to the heart of many issues, all while debating ea. other in a civilized way. https://www.youtube.com/c/breakingpoints https://www.youtube.com/c/breakingpoints https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/breaking-points-with-krystal-and-saagar/id1570045623 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/breaking-points-with-k... It is INCREDIBLY refreshing, if you've fallen into the rut of mainstream internet or tv news.

agree. recently discovered them, very impressed. I think their new show has some kinks to work out and a bit more modernization of the graphics to put it back on par with how things they were doing were presented with their spots through "the Hill." Which I hope stay online to show how they are professional. I also hope their new show gets the graphics and tech to catch up quickly, as they are a refreshing source of truths that need to be told, and I'd like others to be able to watch and feel the same without being distracted and wondering if the new/current as of June 21 make them amateurs with uninformed opinions - instead of the professionals with the history and knowledge that some of us have become aware of. So glad to see them doing real and truth - we need more. When I caught part of on TV the other night with Sharyl Attkisson ( eg https://youtu.be/ol-6AwoPLH4?t=947 https://youtu.be/ol-6AwoPLH4?t=947 ) I had a similar - jaw drop - OMG someone is telling the truth and they are on the air and not in a mysterious car accident! This is amazing. EX-CNN aparrently(?) - maybe it's going to be a new movement of like ex-X-cult - no longer beholden to Y - Perhaps old media is not just losing but started to be lost. I want a browser extension to highlight individual reporters and info about past biases - as it's too hard to pin a portal as being one way or the other, when there are shills mixed in with regular reporters and editors all mucking up everything it seems.
