There is nowhere you can go that doesn't bombard you with LGBT crap. Finding movies and programing at least 10 years old is the only cure for that. Several years ago there was a meeting that required each medium to have some amount of LGBT crap involved, and that includes commercials.

I watch older TV series and most of them have a sympathetic view pushed out that makes you watch LGBT content to follow the series. LGBT represents probably less than 2% in the real world but will make up as much as 50% of the TV content.

You will also notice that as much as 80% of content will have a white male married to a black female that makes her right to make the male look idiotic. A black male will inevitably have a white female mate, but him appearing to be wrong in the inevitable conflict is much less than the white male. LGBTQ NEVER is portrayed in a negative light. There are never any bank robbers, murderers, or any criminal LBGTQ individuals.

The bottom line is the Hollywood image is the only image you will receive, including cartoons for the kids, on modern TV. Producers and writers can't get a loan or financing if they don't tow the line. The new Jaguar add is a perfect example. Someone wrote that, presented it to the company, presented it to the financial people, shot the commercial, and then got someone to play it on TV. Nowhere in that stream was anyone smart enough to say "no way!"

We subscribe to Real America’s Voice because it carries Steve Bannon, Charlie Kirk, and other good stuff. We also subscribe to TNA (The New American) Channel for John Birch Society stuff.

I got a deal for Hulu last Thanksgiving (not the live TV option) for .99 cents per month for the entire year. Hoping they do that promotion again, just have to use another email address and credit card number.

I got those two, along with some other free stuff. Thanks for the suggestion though!

That sucks. I also saw that Crackle is shut down. Apparently the parent company went bankrupt.

I noticed that about Pluto too. I don’t like its user interface. As you said, it’s cumbersome.

I never thought about OOAN. I had Newsmax but they’ve kind of gone down a weird road. I think they are taking on Fox’s anti-Trump mantra.

Xumo isn’t something I’ve seen mentioned. I got the others. I’ll check it out. Thanks.

Mostly I ignore someone’s politics but there are a few that I just can’t do it. De Niro is one. I just don’t want to watch anything with him in it but I have already seen some of his great movies so no loss.

TUBI was showing planned parenthood commercials begging for donations. We hadn’t watched anything there in a while. Might be another while again .

Same for me, someone has to really go around the bend to cause me to boycott them. De Niro is a good example of that.

I’m searching for a new way to watch FOXNews. SLING just raised their monthly rate to $46.

Newsmax really sucks. I like Real America’s Voice, especially Charlie Kirk

Not sure how RUKO works. Probably an Android or Linux based background OS. If so...

Install Brave Browser with adblock, a VPN (I use Ivacy), and virus scanner.

Watch Youtube ad free
AND... I would never recommend HDtoday.tv

I watch Tubi and Youtube ad free now on my Brave browser. Ruko itself I’m not sure how it’ll work on a PC. We’ll see though.

YouTube TV is $73 A month. We buy it for access to Foxnews, plus a host of other programming. Prime has several great networks, too. Combined, they’re way cheaper than the Satellite service we used to use.

Do as everyone else does, just start surfing until you find some things you like.
