Since Al Jazeera America shut down I've reverted to NPR and PBS, as well as The Atlantic, Mother Jones, The Nation and similar "in depth" sources for news and comment.
Al Jazeera English would be a partial substitute, as a streaming video site, but although individual articles are shown, clicking on the videos brings this up:
I expect that thee's a way to get around this... like maybe VPN? Is this legal? ... and, who cares?
Am frustrated with the shallowness of US network news. All channels. It hit home tonite, when one of the featured stories was about some young actress who had double jointed elbows.
Even with the wider selection of video from Roku, and places like Nowhere TV, not much to choose for in-depth current commentary.
Appears to me, we're getting closer to isolationism, which makes me sad. Nothing to do with politics, per se... but news gathering.
Ok to delete, but I just wonder if others feel this way. Looking ahead to 5, 10 or 15 years down the line.
