[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apologies for the slightly off topic question...but curious what news sources you tend to follow in order to stay abreast of MoCo news. I just moved to the area from Capitol Hill. I did a pretty good job of staying on top of DC Council news, but I feel like I don't get exposed to any news regarding the MoCo council. [/quote]
The only reasonable source is Bethesda Beat. Otherwise you’ve got WTOP and WaPo. Your neighborhood listserv is also important. [/quote]

MoCo Show.

And Montgomery Community Media, which is the government, but it does a good job just reporting facts without all the commentary.

LOL. One is literally state media and the other is what I will nicely call “opinion journalism”. [/quote]

So is BBC and it's way better than anything we have.    That's what you get when you let profits rule. [/quote]

The idea that you would deign to put what is effectively a propaganda outlet of the county government in the same sentence as BBC is a joke, even if BBC is not immune for similar criticism regarding political favoritism.

But the real proof that MyMCMedia is propaganda is that it does not produce any critical reporting. Provide me one example of critical reporting on the council in “MyMCMedia”. I’m not even going to ask about investigative reporting, just critical reporting on a single council member. For example, Bethesda Beat covered Jawando’s failure to appear on his drivers license suspension. Did MyMCMedia? They did not. [/quote]

You don’t need critical reporting. You need facts and then do the critical thinking yourself. [/quote]
Thank you for confirming that MyMCMedia is the county equivalent of Fox News. “We report, you decide.”[/quote]

Fox doesn't report facts though.  It's an op/ed only.[/quote]
