I feel like Joe Rogan is the key to breaking through the quagmire we find ourselves in when it comes to the political and social landscape in the US. Joe brings all sorts of guests to talk about tough issues for a few hours so you get their nuanced viewpoints and not some 2 minute, edited mainstream contorted “news.”

Joe is very reasonable and fair and gives everyone and chance to put their points out there.

Doesn’t stand for political correctness, SJW bitches, etc.

He has a humongous audience and rightfully so.

More and more people are trying to break away from the nonsense and toxicity

I like many of those. I'm not sure I rely on them but I think their views have a reasonable degree of consistency to them in a way I can understand even if I disagree at times as well as a maturity in the way they approach communication. I also like Dave Rubin, Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell, Cosmic Skeptic, Peter Singer (although I mostly disagree with him), Camille Paglia, Christina Hoff Sommers, and others.

It's not so important that I agree with their views. If I use Dave Rubin as an example who left TYT, the reason I don't like TYT is that I think people like Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian are too emotionally charged to remain civil and consistent with their views.

Thomas Sowell and Milton Friedman might be among the ones with whom I find myself mostly consistently agreeing with their views and values.

A user on here some years back told me that I sound like a libertarian trying to express my values and being confused about why I'm called a "conservative cuck" by some and "libtard" by others. Then they said I sound like a libertarian and I had to look up what that means in the US political climate and I think I'm mostly like that... but a consequentialist type like Milton Friedman.

I do not have the time to listen to podcasts. I do listen to snippets of my local talk radio station and I look at Fox News as well as CNN online.

I’m not an expert on podcasts but I like to listen to My Daily Bread and Paul Washer and Priscilla Shirerer and Beth Moore for my Christian knowledge and Rabbi Akiva Tatz and Rabbi Manis Friedman and Rabbi Simon Jacobson for my Jewish knowledge.

Altough he is a milktoast fence-sitter, I still watch Tim Pool.
I also view the Quarterly from time to time.

Every news agency is in someone's pocket. That's how they make money really. So you can NOT have a single reliable news source. I have them all: right, left, Chinese, German, British, you name it. When you have all of them and give them all a fair chance, you get something close to the whole picture.

I personally don't listen to just one. I try to listen to as many as I have time to, then make up my own mind what is true or what might be embellished a little towards the opinion if the network.

Eric Weinstein leaves a lot to be desired. He could do a much better job.

You can't safely rely on them, and they tell you to not relly on them and do your own research.
They actually are honest, but even they make mistakes.

[Andres77]

Jordan and Joe are main staples in my information gathering.

You use 15 different sources then you observe the real world.
Anything just not TV!

I trust all of those on your list.
