I support my local public radio station, but not for the news.

As a reader of news I can simply skip the bullshit. I don't subscribe to news sources that publish a lot of bullshit. I also block any advertising that moves or makes sound.

One of the things that helps keeps me sane here on DU is having "Trump" on my trash by keyword list. If that guy drops dead tomorrow I won't see it here on any post title that mentions him by name.
