    That's what my wife does, and I used to. At one time, before 24/7 news TV, I was subscribed to three different newspapers and several magazines. I don't do that anymore, though. If I watch the news once every couple of weeks, it seems like they're reporting the same news, and differing news outlets frequently use the same words in their reports. Rather than investigative journalism, most of the news involves interviewing someone from one side, and then interviewing someone from the other side, and calling that news. Besides, there's nothing I can do about any of this stuff anyhow, particularly given that I no longer even believe that my vote is going to be counted.

    That is one reason why I watch Full Measure , hosted by Sharyl Attkisson . Here it is on Sat-night [if not preempted by football] SCREAM :mad: Or it may be on Sunday morning.
    She and her reporters [IMO] just give/report the news from a different prospective [un scripted] , and they cover news that seems to be unheard of elsewhere.

    I've not heard of Sharyl. As you said, her 1/2 hour show is called Full Measure.

    Here is a list of broadcast times by city/state, or you can watch online here Sunday at 9:30AM east coast time. Dunno if it's rebroadcast or saved for those west of here. I'll try to remember to watch.

    I remember watching Sharyl when she worked for CBS--I think it is the same woman. She had their very early morning show (Up to the Minute I think). I think she left there because they wouldn't allow her to report ALL the news. It was years ago though.

    Anyway, so far as the news goes, I even quit listening to morning radio.
    To me, Coast to Coast has more facts than the MSM news networks do.
    Ref: doesn’t like to chat.
    One of the main reasons a man has a wife is so he can find out what he likes and doesn’t like.
    For instance: I didn’t know that not having anything to say is the same thing as not liking to chat. Now I know.

    Anyway, so far as the news goes, Coast to Coast has more facts than MSM networks do hence my hesitancy to watch or listen to any of it lately.

    So what is Coast to Coast?

    ps: I know men who like to chat. It makes me uncomfortable.

    If ya look at my threads, only one in all these years has kept going. The rest…well, not so much which should tell everyone that as far as starting a “chat”, I’m lousy at it.

    Back to topic:
    Coast to Coast is a two or three hour radio show that features well, uh, everything extraordinaire.
    From Humanoids popping out of the center of the earth to Obama jumping into a machine and being transported to Mars a couple of times a week for a galactic meeting.
    Ghost, goblins, spirits, aliens and all that jazz.

    Art Bell originated the broadcast and the movie, The Day After Tomorrow was based on one of his books.

    YouTube has a great sampling of the show.

    We have to vote one more time!
    I think that they have been working hard to depress us so much as to make us give up this time. I would kind of like Vivek to be president and he may be one day but I want to finally push Trump in to take them down. We must become a sovereign nation again. Not necessarily a dominating one but the thought of the WEF winning makes me gag.
    More and more the masses are starting to think about pushing back.

    Klaus Schwab was just talking in an interview the other day about having infiltrated most of the cabinets in the Western governments. He claimed to have control over half the cabinet in Canada. I didn't hear him specify other nations though. He said he really liked Trudeau for what he has done in Canada.

    That is what horrifies me. The WEF can buy politicians and support their re-elections. I could not understand how Trudeau made it back in. He is worthless but pushes the agenda. World leaders avoid him. But he will destroy his country because Klaus pumps him up.:mad:

    What was really frightening was Klaus publicly admitting it. It means he is confident no one can challenge him.
