ABC News and BBC America are my primary outlets.

If you go through the "reception" parts of Wikipedia pages for movies, you get a lot of great cranky grandpas with terribly designed websites

A lot of news article you see pop up these days are actually editorial articles about a news event. Try to avoid those when possible and avoid the 24 hour news sites, junk sites like breitbart, naturalnews, etc.

Haven't gone to CNN in a while and was greeted with this:  And this quote: quote:"Just today I heard, just a little while ago, that Devin Nunes had a news conference, did you hear about this, where they have a lot of information on tapping. Did you hear about that?" Trump said. "House intelligence chairman Devin Nunes told reporters, wow. Nunes said, so that means I'm right, Nunes said the surveillance appears to have been ... incidental collection, that does not appear to have been related to concerns over Russia." and I felt like I just had a stroke. Maybe... Maybe I'm just not ready for News.

Skwirl posted:Whelp, guess I'm going to have to see Power Rangers. Uh, I saw it today and making a reference to SPR is just ridiculous. Yeah, it opens with the aftermath of a lost battle where a meteorite is used as a last ditch effort to take out Rita, but it's over before you know it and there is nothing horrendous, traumatic or gritty about it. The whole movie is an origin story. They actually spend very little time in the outfits and the majority of that time they are sitting in their Zords. It's pretty silly how much discussion there was about the costumes before the movie's release having seen the final result.

I like Mother Jones, Propublica, and I did like Jacobin but I haven't read it in a while and have heard some questionably things surrounding them. im going to crosspost this from cspam because i thought it was good post. I apologize for the writing style of the OP if it bothers you. There's a few suggestions for places to go, but there's more to it than just leaning on a specific source.

Wonder what petty and reactionary action Trump will do. E: Man, Spicer looks so much like a bureaucratic vampire in a blade movie that would totally betray you. Death By The Blues fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Mar 24, 2017 |

Holy poo poo does Life have a kick-to-the-bits ending. So Jake Gyllenhaal's character plans to trap the alien with him in an escape pod, and he'll fly it away from Earth to ensure that the alien won't get to it. At the same time, the Commander Lady is going to take another escape to Earth. It's edited quite well, with JG struggling with the alien as his pod tumbles away from earth, and Commander Lady's serenely lands on Earth. Until the last beats of the movie reveals that the director was loving with you. The tumbling pod? That's Commander Lady screaming into the void as her pod tumbles off into space. Jg's pod, filled to the brim with Alien Goop, serenely lands and is opened by some fishermen, as JG begs them not to open it. Earth is hosed.

Well, the narrative they seem to be spinning is that they tried but they are just gonna let Obamacare be for now. I wasn't sure if they'd do that after the Trump ultimatum but it looks like they're using it as an excuse to not pull the thing they have recently been forced to realize people actually like overall

Coffee And Pie posted:Not technically an intertitle but THIS REMINDS ME! Viceland has a new show about outside films and the first episode is about Miami Connection and includes an interview with the director. I believe the show is just called Outsider or something like that. The second episode is about Birdemic.
