@Amy_Siskind My advice is always to stop watching cable news. All cable news. Cable news is how we got to Trump.

I do recommend @60Minutes and @frontlinepbs.

@Amy_Siskind @60Minutes @frontlinepbs Oh, but do watch @PartsUnknownCNN!

IMO, it was the best show for understanding different cultures, both here and abroad. Watch the ones on Puerto Rico, West Virginia, or @BarackObama in Vietnam.

BTW, President Obama didn't watch cable news, either. aol.com/2010/02/04/pre…

@Amy_Siskind @60Minutes @frontlinepbs @PartsUnknownCNN @BarackObama I listen to these podcasts every day. If you use @amazonecho, you can even set them as your news brief.

1) 'The Daily' w/ @mikiebarb
2) 'The Big Idea' w/ @jameshohmann
3) 'Up First' from @npr

Also recommended @realTrumpcast @SlateGist

@Amy_Siskind @60Minutes @frontlinepbs @PartsUnknownCNN @BarackObama @amazonecho @mikiebarb @jameshohmann @NPR @realTrumpcast @SlateGist In the run up to the election, I subscribed to the digital versions of @nytimes and @washingtonpost. If you are an Amazon Prime member, the WaPo subscription is a deal.

I also read @CharlesPPierce.

Trump's presidency is exhausting, but I have learned a lot.

@Amy_Siskind @60Minutes @frontlinepbs @PartsUnknownCNN @BarackObama @amazonecho @mikiebarb @jameshohmann @NPR @realTrumpcast @SlateGist @nytimes @washingtonpost @CharlesPPierce @ConstitutionCtr I'd suggest studying what's on your ballot before heading to the polls. Look yours up at @ballotpedia

@Amy_Siskind @60Minutes @frontlinepbs @PartsUnknownCNN @BarackObama @amazonecho @mikiebarb @jameshohmann @NPR @realTrumpcast @SlateGist @nytimes @washingtonpost @CharlesPPierce @ConstitutionCtr @ballotpedia Independent investigative journalism is worth paying for. The @nytimes, @washingtonpost, @BostonGlobe, @CBSNews and others all do investigative journalism.

I'm not convinced that many of cable news outlets do. Agree or disagree?

I watch the daily monologues on YouTube

- Trevor Noah @TheDailyShow
- Stephen Colbert @colbertlateshow
- SNL @nbcsnl

And John Oliver's #LastWeekTonight is must-see, brilliant commentary.
