For TV, I enjoy Masterpiece shows on PBS. Pretty much all regular TV has a bias, but there are shows that are less "in your face" with it. One example I can think of is "The Great British Baking Show".

We ditched satellite TV 4 years ago and now make do with a combination of Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, an antenna, and Blue Ray discs. (Although Netflix is getting disappointing).

It's hard for me as a conservative to support Amazon, but I love Amazon prime.

I love reading, and while a few popular authors are becoming more outspoken politically, most authors are not.

Breitbart by an avowed Leninist!


The right sure does like them some Commies!

Actually it has always been a joke.
I'm sure that the bigwigs at CNN, NBC, and other decades-old media who get called-out for their becoming lying, subservient interest interests groups for the Democratic Party, are just pleased as punch to be compared to websites like Breitbart and Infowars.

Conservative snowflakes should just stay in their safe spaces to avoid being triggered. Stick to Fox News, the safest bet is Fox & Friends which is basically a Trump infomercial now. Other options are Breitbart, Infowars, Free Republic. You can remain safe and secure in your sealed information bubble at any of those places.

If you are looking for conservative friendly entertainment, I would suggest country music videos on CMT and reruns of old television programs. A big plus for conservatives - if the reruns are old enough you won't even have to worry about seeing a diverse cast, gay characters, interracial couples, insolent teens, realistic storylines or any of the other stuff that bother you about life in the modern era.

Nor do I love the Olympics - except for gymnastics and stuff like that but Bob Costas could put anyone to sleep.
The Curry situation sent me to GMA, which was a very good move, it turns out. GMA is much better than Today.

Costas bugs me. I’m not sure what it is, though.

I watch on occasion , the old classic movies on Turner Classic Movies and I am selective in what I watch. The junk they have on TV that make today is stupid and not entertaining at all. And it crosses the line of what is decent viewing all the time. It is garbage. I don't feed on garbage.

youtube has lots of classic TV shows and old films. I like to watch Britcoms which are a lot funnier than American sitcoms. Several American sitcoms ripped off successful Brit TV shows but our versions are never as funny in my opinion. There are various lists online of the best of British TV or comedy or similar. I then look for those on youtube.

Only problem with trying to watch a complete series is often they get pulled down by youtube for copyright infringement. Some ways around that are by cutting off part of the picture or speeding up/slowing down the sound. It can be annoying sometimes.
