  • Entertaining but don’t tell the whole story

    CNN and MSNow seem to be happy just having “likes and subscribes”. Their coverage doesn’t address shaky things are happening and all the wrongs. They regurgitate the same nonsense.

    Look for other options if you want to understand what is really going on in the world
