I am constantly amazed at the ignorance of so many Americans, mainly but not limited to the MAGA crowd. People spout things as facts when facts can be verified. Or critical thinking can be applied by making comparisons.
Both my husband Rick and I are news junkies. The list below are places we seek information, although we don't listen/read them word for word daily. We tend to channel or computer/surf depending on what the breaking story is and also what is available.
We also read different history, political and economic books as well as fiction.
We also don't limit ourselves to one country. I don't want just the U.S., English, French, German, Japanese, Israeli, Middle East viewpoint. The list is a combination of television channels, newspapers and magazines as well as essays gleaned from different sources. Stars indicate the ones I like best.
Not listed by country, but a station we have confidence in is Al Jazeera. Part of the comments are from so many of our Middle Eastern Friends have expressed the opinion that it is controlled by the CIA

The photo above is not real, because much of what we look at comes over the internet. I'm too much of a neat freak to have all that stuff messing up our home.
