  That’s largely because you listen to media outlets run by them.

    Please point me to the news outlets not run by bad guys talking about how the good guys can win. I’m being serious, I need that kind of news

      As long as there’s been oppression, there’ve been people fighting it. This weekly podcast dives into history to drag up the wildest rebels, the most beautiful revolts, and all the people who long to be—and fight to be—free. It explores complex stories of resistance that offer lessons and inspiration for us today, focusing on the ensemble casts that make up each act of history. That is to say, this podcast focuses on Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff.

      Give Margaret Killjoy a listen.

        She’s really a great journalist. Her coverage of the mutual aid in North Carolina after the recent hurricane was good. I first heard her on my favorite podcast Behind the Bastards, but I haven’t listened to any Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff yet.

        The Green Lanturn does seem cool, but isn’t he a space cop?

      Well, personally I do tend to listen to a broad selection of similar outlets, but whenever something catches my interest specifically I do some light digging to verify the primary sources they’re reporting on. Occasionally I’m not able to sort things out, but it’s actually quite shocking how many sensational stories will fall apart almost immediately when you look even a little bit deeper. Far too often, even just reading the article itself will actually debunk it’s own headline.

      I would suggest avoiding news altogether. Look into hobbies and find other ways of spending your time. Doomscrolling is like a trauma addiction. There are tons of great people in hobbies who are so nice and helpful and they’re just really glad to share their passion with you.
