I don't listen to right wing media. Or left wing media. They're both terrible. (I pay for my news to try an avoid the nonsense.)

I will say this nicely as well, you should re-read my argument to see where the depth lies. I take caution to ask a simple "IF/THEN" question that's really just a latent criticism of media including social media. The idea that "voter fraud" is some "Trump concocted nefarious scheme" is also rather ridiculous. Voter fraud gets claimed after every election.

I hope our new censorship overlords are fair and honest in their censorship.

I sincerely applaud your paying for news, but a person who gets all their news via the free AP News and Reuters newsfeeds, cspan, PBS, VOA, Propublica, NPR, and so on can be very well informed and avoid a fair amount of nonsense.

One is substantially more terrible than the other, and seems to be perpetually stuck in lala land.

Not at this scale.
