    Question Favorite political commentator or program?

    We all have them, be you someone who really enjoys Cenk and friends on TYT, or maybe you like Milo Yiannopoulos, or some other name. Is there a person, or group or site whose commentary you either trust or simply enjoy or respect more than others?

    I have a subscription to the NY times and the FT.

    Also while not great I like Sumners and Krugman's commentary on politics.

    I really like Last Week Tonight, is damn entertaining and informative at the same time. I don't always agree with their angle, but I like it nonetheless.

    The National and Fifth Estate on CBC is top quality Canadian journalism.

    I get most of my news from the Washington Post, New York Times, Politico, and 538. So I guess those are my most trusted news outlets.

    On Twitter, I like Chris Cillizza and Dave Weigel from WaPo, Nate Cohn from NYT, and Nate Silver and Harry Enten from 538. I follow quite a few more, but those are my favorites.

    I personally like Peter Hitchens, the Religious Conservative and brother of noted Anti-theist Christopher Hitchens.

    I do enjoy David Rubin's show on youtube, and then I also like Chris Hedges from time to time and Thomas Frank (But he mainly does books)

    But I'd say Peter Hitchens is the one I read the most, respect the most, though I don't agree with him on all things.

    Bill Maher, John Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Oliver, forget his first name from last week tonight.

    She's about as left wing as they come but she tries to keep things balanced. Every Friday her and a panel of news guest, some from the WSJ others from the New York Times get together and talk domestic and international news. About 2 hours worth. You can get it as a podcast which is nice.

    Milo Yiannopoulos, because he is utterly hilarious, makes good points, and makes SJW's scream and cry.

    Rush because he knows what is up.

    There is a guy in RT hosting the CrossTalk. He's my favorite. Every program he says "... you can jump in anytime you want, I encourage you to do so...", then shits on anyone who jumps in. It's a trap.

    Her's is one of the programs I can't stand on NPR. I may be left wing, but it irks me when she tries to put words in the mouth of people she disagrees with to make a point. The best parts of the show are the panelists, but sadly I cannot stomach her.

    I think I agree with this because Trevor Noah feels like he's missing something. I've never seen him flustered and expressing that he actually cares unlike John Stewart did. You could tell JS cared. You can tell that JO cares. Noah just doesn't seem to care enough to be entertaining.

    Right, I feel like I'm watching an entertainer but doesn't really have a stake in the game. Also, the "british guy" think is much better covered by Oliver than Noah.

    Josh Marshall at TPM Talking Points Memo. His Twitter feed is awesome. He is one of the only Libs who really get Trump on a psycho level. I read everything he writes and he keeps being right.
