I will occasionally watch shows on PBS, but don't follow their news. BBC has its own agendas which may be hard for US-ians to discern. Even my favorite commentors either bury the lede and lose me in a few minutes or are so biased that I'm not sure what they're reporting at times. Even people who attempt objectivity or members of former Presidential administrations have huge blind spots. Lately, if an item of news doesn't affect me directly (weather, local taxes) or I have little to no agency (pace George Carlin) I attend for a moment and move on. One feels diminished, but it's not something I've found a solution to. Thanks for leading us to your favorite's commentating. Whatever else he's doggoned likeable! My solution? I watch homesteading and farming shows, listen to All of Bach and lots of musical stuff. Pity they're Russian, but I just love Ottava Yo that I discovered somehow.
Love me some George Carlin! Wonder what HE would say about how stupid things have gotten. As for blind spots, we've all got em, but denying they exist is ridiculous. I only share folks I think are decent human beings and entertaining. I could be wrong, but I trust my gut. It's usually hungry...for facts and fun. And food of course. lol
