I subscribe to the New York Times, Washington Post, Mother Jones, The New Yorker, and Vanity Fair.

I recommend and read truth out.org , which is free, though I donate to it.

I listen to NPR in the car, when Chun Woo's not with me.

I like CBC and the Guardian.

I read articles from the Denver Post, the Colorado Independent, and the Colorado Sun frequently, and subscribe to the Denver Post. The Independent is free, but I donate to it.

I read a lot of news online on individual-story bases, and that comes from sources across the political spectrum.

When it comes to trust,
1. I don't ever treat it as a 0-1 variable. (I trust pretty much everyone who drives near me or might, not to try to ram my car. I don't expect organ donation from anyone. People and outlets vary in their factual reliability across entities and from topic to topic.)
2. When I hear news (not opinion) that I like from Fox, I look for other sources.
3. When I hear any news I like a lot from anywhere, I look for other sources.
4. When I hear any particularly shocking or ridiculous news I look for other sources.
5. I don't expect to be infallible, and I am not a bystander, and I don't want to be, and I know I'm not.

Podcasts I like and would recommend, that are Trump/impeachment-focused: Talking Feds, Impeachment Today, Trump Inc.
