TWolves City Edition Jersey debut aka Prince night!! So much fun. I want all the Prince/Wolves things 💜😍They won!! Feels like a different team now that Jimmy is whining elsewhere. Prince night even brought out my boo KG!! (And lots of other athletes) Still so much love here for 21. He spoke to, high-fived, and hugged everyone around him. Fun to dance to Morris at halftime too! #alleyesnorth #timberwolves #princenight #targetcenter (at Target Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqRKa-YDZiQqjmufAgxlezYDY6k6NgGtcw_shU0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wa5teu15nixx

If there’s one thing both sides can agree on, is cable news punditry jeopardized our democracy. We don’t have journalists on cable news anymore, we have reality tv hosts and contestants.

Subscribe to your local and/or national newspapers, support local news networks, and turn off cable news, the survival of our democracy depends on it.

As a journalist, I ABHORE broadcast journalism. Watching others work in it, I’ve learned it is less attuned to fact-checking, it is less attuned to legitimate investigative reporting because its entire system of continuation is based on RATINGS. It’s about breaking the news and getting the attention, not breaking the factually accurate, culturally aware report. Doing that takes time and time is not on their side. I know people who work in broadcast, I’ve competed for news coverage with broadcast. And despite my friends who are in it, I will say this: I think it’s one of the lowest forms of journalism there is.

90% of our news, whether read, watched or listened to, is dominated by six media giants:

Comcast

News Corporation

The Walt Disney Company

Viacom

Time Warner

CBS Corporation

All of these companies are in some ways controlling the information you get, but far more importantly and in many more ways, how you get it. The Clinton email scandal wasn’t bad because it persisted. It was bad because of HOW it persisted, continuously raising doubts about whether or not Clinton had done something illegal. Continuously putting into question her trustworthiness. They didn’t have to cover the emails that way. They chose to.

If you are looking for better news sources, here are five independently run outlets that I trust for most of my political news. They are not perfect, they still deal with bias, but journalism is supposed to serve as a check and balance for the people. That’s why we protect the freedom of the press. These outlets serve as stronger checks and balances than most of their competitors.

The Nation (thenation.com)

ProPublica (propublica.org)

Al Jazeera English (aljazeera.com)

The Guardian (guardian.co.uk/)

Since Trump was elected I’ve stopped watching the news. I will no longer support Network News. I’m not giving them my ratings.

support your local newspapers and reputable national media outlets who did excellent investigative journalism and focused on policies during the elections (there’s not a lot but there are some). Make sure you are hearing from poc journalists and editorial boards, not just white men. The press has a lot of work to do to redeem itself and earn the public trust again, but we must also protect and support journalists who are still doing their job in service of the public, wherever their work can be found or at least follow their social media, coz we will need them in the next four years.
