I regularly listen to both the Rachel Madow Show and The Keith Olbermann Show on MSNBC cable. I like them both, and my thought is that both are very well informed, very bright and present an objective progressive view.
For alternative media, I find Alex Jones on the internet more informed, more articulate and thought-provoking than Beck or O'Reilly. Between Madow/Olbermann and Alex Jones, I feel I get a good balance of current information.
Deal is that often, both Madow/Olbermann and Jones are addressing the same issues and same concerns, such as deep questioning about The Fed, surveillance of citizens by government, advocacy for the middle class, working people and those in poverty. Also, all three expose corrupt global corporations, banks, the big medical/insurance industry and callous government.
As the idiom states, "where there is smoke, there is fire." Different commentators coming from different perspectives often talking about essentially the same issues. Definite reason for further reflection and thoughtful review.
