Some media suggestions for Progressives [View all]

I used to listen to and watch MSNBC and FreeSpeechTV for news and discussion. After the disaster that was the last election I came to the realization that these sites were not providing the information nor the approach I felt was needed to address the Fascism creeping into our society. I've stopped using these sites and services.

Here is a short list of some of the other sources I now use.

1. "The Daily Beans" ( https://mswmedia.com/show/daily-beans/ )
A Monday through Friday daily news wrap up hosted by Allison Gill and Dana Goldberg. Usually approx. an hour long featuring news and oocasional guests The Daily Beans is an especially good news show that covers news of interest to Progressives without corporate spin.

2. "The Thom Hartmann Show" ( https://www.youtube.com/@thomhartmann/streams )
One of the most intelligent political commentators around Thom hosts regular guests and callers comments. The show is live on You Tube from 9 a.m. to 12 noon Monday through Friday PST.

3. "Net Roots Radio" ( https://www.netrootsradio.com/ )
A 24/7 source for progressive news and commentary featuring several good programs.

4."The Al Franken Podcast" ( https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-al-franken-podcast/id1462195742 )
A weekly podcast hosted by Al Franken that features interesting interviews and commentary.

5. "The Dusty Show" ( https://www.youtube.com/@CultOfDusty/streams )
A video roundup of national news hosted multiple times a week by Dusty Smith. Dusty is brutally honest about the absurdity that is the Republican party under Donald Trump. His comments are biting and on target regarding the idiots in the Republican party and the hypocrisy so prevalent in our society these days. 4 letter words are used in case that might offend you.

Anyway there are some alternatives for those of you seeking change from MSNBC and FreeSpeechTV.
