We are paying for satellite TV in order to get Knowledge, PBS, TVO, etc. I figure that since we are paying for the TV we shouldn't have to watch ads at all. <br /><br />Tobynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-85431622928048896002016-01-25T09:53:27.170-08:002016-01-25T09:53:27.170-08:00A couple of sources to add to your list: Rabble &a...A couple of sources to add to your list: Rabble & Counterpunch. One is Canadian and one is American. I often disagree with content on both of them (including some of Vltchek's curve balls) but they often challenge me to really think outside my usual frames.<br /><br />As for TV: I stopped watching the news (propaganda vessels that manufacture consent) years ago, then shut down (CBC) radio news too. I like to cross source from the plethora of text sources on the net. (ie like the list you gave). BTW, most subscription sites allow for 5 or 10 reads per month. For "mundane" news I go to non subscription sites and "save" my tokens for the opinion or must reads. I keep three browsers active (Chrome. IE, Firefox) which means I triple the number of tokens/reads I get if needed.<br /><br />As for entertainment etc. ... Netflix rules. I refuse to ever watch another TV commercial. We 'cut the cord' several years ago. We get 7 really good HD signals free over the air in downtown Vancouver with an homemade ariel. So we can watch basic TV if we want. (My wife loves TV sports but is 'enjoying watching less' w/o TSN etc). If Netflix doesn't have it the library does and has it a great search/reservation system.<br /><br />It does produce a strange effect with some friends/relatives who get most of their info from TV news and don't barf at the sight of Peter Mansbridge. It seems like they live on a different planet. We no longer share basic assumptions about how the world works.<br />Northern PoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04670080478290108536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-58701005716374090832016-01-25T07:22:17.177-08:002016-01-25T07:22:17.177-08:00Not that I know about.

I first heard about it on the Facebook page of Dan Jones, a young Brit historian who's written on the Plantagenets and The Wars of the Roses ( really great reads BTW). Both have now been done up as 4 part miniseries by Channel 5 and he was telling his non British Isle fans that mediahhh.com was the best way for them to watch the series. My OS is too antiquated for it but a friend I recommended it to has told me it works well and has no problems. As have many of the people Dan Jones recommended it to. <br /><br />That's what I know.

Most news paper content is no better then the TV content, filled bias and journalist picking and chosing the bits that reinforce they're biases instead of challenging them.<br /><br /> A rare exception to that is feminist Cassie Jays upcoming documentary the red pill, where she has her assumptions challenged and evolves accordingly.Gyorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06773307017058386989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-55821106360734827862016-01-24T16:28:25.969-08:002016-01-24T16:28:25.969-08:00@Dana, is there a page I can get more information ...@Dana, is there a page I can get more information on mediahhh.com before downloading and installing itrwwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00512582677240907287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-33536321884988951072016-01-24T11:10:10.541-08:002016-01-24T11:10:10.541-08:00Agree wholeheartedly, Mound.
