sounds good enough Grim, I employ those venues also..and yes, one still has to filter.
I find my news from the WWW. There are a number of Conservative and Libertarian news sources.
Like News with views, CNS, Lew Rockwell, JBS, and others. I do watch the local news on the Tube, but can't stand the network hacks.
I quit Limblow, Shallow Shaun and Billy O a few years ago. They do a great job against the Donkey's, but for the most part, stay quiet about the Elephants, and lately, it's hard to tell a Jackass from a pachyderm.
