NPR aired an interview with one of the top newspeople at RT. According to him, RT wants to supply viewers with an alternative for information about underreported or misreported stories. Or, he might have said alternative information. Is that like alternative facts?

I didn't believe his apparent astonishment that all newspeople don't have to sign a non-disparagement agreement regarding their employers. That's definitely not normal, and he knows it. Non-disclosure agreements regarding trade secrets are normal, but I've never heard of one that tries to keep the employee from criticizing their employer after they part ways.

At this point, late-night comedy is more newsworthy than CNN, MSNBC, etc.

It is not just late night comedy. I have never in my almost 60 years on this earth seen one person dominate so many peoples thoughts and actions on a continuing basis.

As the saying goes, he's living rent-free inside their heads.

They don't call it Trump Derangement Syndrome for nothing.

I've been paying $5 a month for One America News Network (OAN), which is available online and on Roku. It's AMAZING. It's America-centered, obviously, but it also carries a wide array of international news. I dimly recall the regular three networks having news like this when I was a kid- like, without all the commentary and political domination. It's a breath of fresh air.

It also has little educational history bits and explanations of how legal things work in the commercials. Yesterday it explained how the parliamentary seats work in the UK, which was enlightening.
