Has anybody who as cut cable found a good source of streaming news? I tend to look on free republic for news , but it would,be nice to watch streaming video, even opinion based news that is realiible. Fox News used to be good, but half of their programming or more is not reliable news , can't see paying a huge cable bill anymore for 100s of entertainment channels I never watch and news propaganda stations . What are others doing ? Hula is not news, but are there are alternatives , beside just the print meidim here on free republic ?

There’s a new conservative television channel that FReepers have been talking about for some months, but I forget the name. I would assume they have streaming.

Someone will pop along and tell you if they see this.

The best solution: 25mb internet speed. NFL replay, MLB baseball. CSPAN.

I don't know if they are available on the streaming services, but One America News Network (OANN), and Newsmax have right-leaning news outfits that would be worth checking out.

I thought they had already done this. The last time I went there it required a subscription, and that’s been some time back.

Get one of these and you won’t need cable or Hulu or Netflix

Thanks. I need to start watching it.

I haven’t watched tv in over a year. I use amazon prime and get my news here. But streaming would be nice.

No, wait. I still watch football on the TV and some of the debates I watched.

Netflix just went up on my streaming fee. Have wondered about switching to Hulu, mostly because I’ve seen practically all the movies on Netflix that I’m interested in.

Netflix has great documentaries, so I keep it going. But wonder if the paid Hulu movie selection is consistantly better than Netflix streaming? I’ve browsed Hulu but haven’t decided to switch yet.

Kind of dry presentation but the news readers are very easy on the eyes and no drama.

You may be thinking of “One America News”?

Dry sounds good after listening to THREE hours of arguing for 15 years at Fox.

It’s reality TV with a neocon owner.

Thanks for that link.

I have Amazon Fire-—— I didn’t know you could get TV channels on it.

I’ll give it a shot. (Wish me luck,I’m as old as dirt.)

We live in the boonies with no cable and I’ve btdt with satellite years ago so I’m not going back to that. We started with netflix but went to hulu and like it much better. Didn’t even know there was a free version but we quickly jumped from the $8.99 to $11.99 but not because of the ads themselves but because it would freeze every time an ad came on. I don’t think we ever actually saw a complete ad/commercial.

I’ve used both. I find Netflix doesn’t offer much in what I want to view (including their documetaries, which are quite limited in my thinkin’).
Hulu is better for old TV shows but, like NFlix, is overall choice is limited. I’m not into any current-pop “must-see TV”. Reality crap, aliens, cheapo movies, etc.
