Viewers are flocking to “independent” media that serves up a never-ending stream of anti-Trump content. But this stuff is intellectual poison and may even help the right.

I really like Some More News. They’re kinda like Last Week Tonight in style: in-depth reporting on bigger issues, with some jokes thrown in. They also make two episodes of Even More News a week, but those are more hype-of-the-day with less analysis behind them. Honestly feels like it’s just their brainstorm sessions recorded and released as a podcast.
I love SMN but had to stop watching EMN because it felt like every episode Katy was definding her MAGA neighbors because they were nice to her.
I understand that this is a simplification of her position to some extent but it was a little infuriating.
She’s now at the point where she’s defending her defending of them, so clearly she’s getting pushback. I really don’t mind it though. Most people are normal people with no desire to cause harm. Most people are misinformed about politics. So yes, a bunch of R voters don’t support current events, once you explain to them what’s actually happening. They’ll still vote R next time, of course, because they don’t care enough to inform themselves.
I guess it just affects me so personally I can’t really look past the fact that they have harmed me. I know my granddad doesn’t want anyone hurt buts its hard to look past the fact that he still votes for the party that wants to harm people like me.
