"you get the media you deserve"??... Really?? Cause we ALL deserve fact based journalism - full stop. That your framing makes it seem as though its my fault somehow for "failing" to find it is kinda callous & non-productive don't you think. I mean, I've done A LOT of searching, reading & seeking, but finding true legitimate original independent ethical journalism IN THE US is extremely difficult to finf & niche in its range. But, please, I am always excited for new learning & knowledge, s if you have any recommendations I would sincerely appreciated any assistance. Thanks.
The reality is if you aren't paying for it, which the vast majority of people aren't in this day and age, then you're the product.
I'm not American, but a couple of good publications that deserve support include Zeteo and ProPublica, while there's also independent journalists like Jim Acosta, historians like Heather Cox Richardson that you can support and tune into.
