It must be be noted, most of us stopped using "crayons" many years ago.

Both tend to stick to the facts in my experience. Reuters and NPR are my go-to now that CNN, etc have gone full partisan. Surprisingly Al Jazeera America was actually pretty good while it lasted. Al Jazeera is good for global news (they are just a bit triggered by certain topics, the ones you'd expect).

And PBS by the Koch Brothers. Funded does not mean owned. Otherwise the PBS Newshour would be a libertarian, fossil-fueled circle jerk.

Typical. When you're losing an argument, reframe the conversation and attack the source.

Estimating 0.12% to 0.1% infection fatality rate. This keeps getting revised down the more we know about Covid-19.
