I am a right leaning libertarian that consumes conservative and liberal mainstream and independent political media. My favorite is by far Breaking Points podcast. It is nice to see a liberal call out liberals and conservative call out conservatives. They are crowd funded and don't take advertising dollars. They have had most of the US presidential candidates on for long form interviews. Nicki Haley and Joe Biden are the only major candidates that have not come on because they won't agree to limiting questions for the candidates.

Breaking Points podcast.

Initial research shows that it may be a good source. Beats Fox, Newsmax, Bannon, etc. But all far right sources are suspect, IMO.

I know nothing about it except what I read here:

Why not choose PBS Newshour Brooks and Capehart and other commentary where they supposedly have a liberal POV and a conservative POV on current topics?

Here's something I found interesting in my research on Breaking Points:

I think it's true:

I appreciate the post with the research links. They have clips of segments and monologues on youtube for free. Saagar brought up the major concern of microchip manufacturing in Taiwan a year ago in a monologue. Roughly 6 months prior to the start of the chips act making it through congress. They covered the railway strike about 6 months before it made mainstream news as well.
