    Everyone needs to boycott all companies owned by the Ellisons. Put maximum pressure on CBS News not to go down the same path as North Korea, China, Russia, Hungary’s news or not to become yet another Fox News. Call their advertisers and demand they pull their ads until we get guarantees that CBS won’t become even more of a propaganda channel or force different ownership.

      The Trump Administration, and to an extent all conservatives monarchists, is/are incapable of understanding concepts that were invented after their year in kindergarden, so ‘The Streisand Effect’ must just be reality having a left wing liberal progressive bias, and therefore Faux News.

    And this is why I stopped watching 60 Minutes, which was once (not that long ago) one of my favorite news shows.

      There’s The Intercept, Common Dreams, and The New Republic for article based news.

      Zeteo does both articles and video.

      As far as short form podcasts/YouTube shows go, there’s The Bitchuation Room and The Damage Report, for medium/long form there’s Some More News and Even More News.

      And before you dismiss most of them because they’re clearly biased in favor of left wing viewpoints, I’m gonna remind you that your criteria was factual accuracy, which isn’t mutually exclusive with honest and transparent bias as long as your bias isn’t toward counterfactuality AKA lying.

      Or put another way: we all have biases and the ones who are honest about them are generally much more trustworthy than the ones who try to hide them behind forced neutrality riddled with false equivalency.

        Any particular reason PodSaveAmerica isn’t on the list? Everything I have seen from them seems to be left leaning, factual, and relevant. That may be because I haven’t subscribed though.
