I highly recommend Krystal and Saagar for intelligent news analysis. The sad state of the news media came up twice on this show. First, they report on a recent court opinion that you will not find covered by NYT/WaPo/NPR. Obama-appointed federal judge, Cynthia Bashant wrote in her opinion that Rachel Maddow is among those TV personalities “whose statements cannot reasonably be interpreted as allegations of fact [1].”
Second, see Saagar’s commentary (min 56) regarding the sad state of American news media. The U.S. news media is the only industry mentioned in the U.S. Constitution. Whether we have a meaningful democracy depends on the quality of our fact-gathering and yet the U.S. news media quality is deemed loathsome, according to a recent survey Krystal and Saagar discuss.
