Question for the "liberal" folks on here

I can say that I have never followed a Left-leaning commentator, whether TV, radio, podcast, youtube, whatever. I've watched a few clips to see what they were about, or for general amusemnt, but never saw the point of listening again or following them. All those left leaning commentators on CNN? Never watched. Never really got into Stephen Colbert or the Daily Show back when they were big 15-20 years ago. I hardly, if ever, watch TV news. If I listen to radio news, it is usually NPR because they are the only ones not yelling, and if they are biased at least they go into depth from multiple sides. I will read any new story online that I find interesting and comes across my feed or links posted to social media (such as here). Basically, I don't care for news "opinion", as I don't feel that those giving the opinion have any more credentials toward the truth than I do.

Conversely, I have noticed that conservatives on here or elsewhere source right-leaning opinion personalities quite often. It's plainly clear that they get their viewpoints from various opinionated sources rather than more fact/informative based news.

My question to the liberals on here: Do you watch/follow left-leaning news opinion personalities on a regular basis? What is your general source of information on current events?

I'm fact-based, and don't form my opinions via the opinions of others, which is why I'm a Democrat. I was a hardcore liberal for years but grievance isn't my lane. I dig solutions.

But there is one guy I do watch on occasion. Probably qualifies as liberal but only when the facts bare it out. His name is David Pakman. His You Tube channel alone has like 2 million subscribers. Crazy smart on a myriad of issues, even-keeled and has a great way of drilling down to get to the truth. I actually learn stuff from him. He's on vacation now, and has a fill in, and I find myself kind of missing his take on things. Does lean in to Trump a little too much at times but he almost has to.
