I quit most of the internet and media about 8 months ago. There is no benefit to getting bent about opinions that really mean nothing other than an enotional response. And, there’s some terrifying shit going on in the US as far as i am concerned, things that unless i wish to get into the streets and protest/engage, arent going to be affected by reading or hearing about them every day, every time i pick up this device. On that scale, i generally check in on Sunday to see what civil/human rights the supreme court is taking away and what not.
Counterspin and democracrynow offer a non-violent, civil rights/human rights set of perspectives on national and world issues. Can only take so much.
I follow local news with greater frequency. In this isolated, rural place there has been a strong, independent news scene with non-partisan blogs/websites and local radio shows. Definitely some objective and important journalism going on in the smaller, community based infospheres.
