    Actually it’s really not at all. You’re probably just thinking about Reddit/lemmy/twitter posts when you write that.

    Go on like NPR or C Span and actually read the news. It’s fine.

      The number of those news outlets is shrinking, though. It used to be that every city had a local paper with real news. Now they’re all part of a media conglomerate and do the bare minimum of actual journalism.

        support NPR and it’s journalism across the US. Support your local station. And support local papers (not ganett rags and conglomerates).
